I insert / push the keyfob into its slot, but when I try to turn the keyfob to start the engine, the keyfob won’t move and I get a “check car protection system” message and “symbol / picture of a car and padlock” warning light.
I remove the keyfob from its slot, reinsert the keyfob again into its slot, turn the keyfob again and the engine starts.
So far, the car always starts second time.
This happens with both our two keyfobs.
The Croma has done 120,000 miles, I’ve had it since 33,000 miles and it is running better than ever.
The battery is 5 years and 50,000 miles old.
The alternator is 2 years and 22,000 miles old.
Your advice will be appreciated; we’re motoring in France and Belgium in the Croma in February.
