Citroen C5 Exclusive SE (2002) - Immobiliser?

Jul 21, 2006 4 Replies

"It does have a steering lock, if you press the button. Don't think it's got an immobiliser. Perhaps it's considered unnecessary with the steering lock."



I'm not familiar with immobilisers (I usually drive cheap cars which I assume don't have them) so I do not know if this 'steering lock button' constitutes an immobiliser.



I would have thought a C5 Exclusive would come with an immobiliser by default, considering all the other gadgets that are in the package.



Can anyone with knowledge of either immobilisers or 2002 C5 Exclusive SE Citroens advise?

It certainly does.

As with virtually every modern car, there's a chip in the key and a sensor in the ignition lock.

Lists the spec of C5s - they all seem to be fitted with an immobiliser.

Thanks - that's a useful link.
