To prevent your car radio from being decoded via the "trial and error method" a waiting time starts after each unsuccessful attempt at entering the CODE.
During the waiting time, the set must remain switched on. The display shows "SAFE". After the first two attempts, the waiting time lasts approx. 10 seconds. After this it is increased to 10 minutes.
With each further unsuccessful attempt the waiting time is doubled, reaching 640 minutes by the ninth attempt.
After 10 unsuccessful attempts the set is blocked. The set has to be exchanged by a Vauxhall Dealership upon payment. It is recommended to have the set put back into operation by a Vauxhall Dealership after the sixth unsuccessful attempt.
The number of remaining attempts is shown in the display.
