Anti hi-jack system has been turned on. Take a look in the owners manual on how to turn it off if you wish...

I have
read the car handbook but there is no reference to the anti hi jack system.Any suggestions as to where to find that information

In the car you should have a button with the picture of a padlock.
With the engine running, hold down the button untill you hear an audible sound and then the anti hi-jack system should be turned off...

I cannot find a button with that symbol on.The car was reg jan 2003 so maybe there is another solution.

Try pressing and holding the unlock button on the remote with the engine running...

I have tried pressing the unlock button when the engine is running but it has not solved the problem.

However what i have discovered is that if i do not lock the car with the remote control i can get in and start the car and everything is ok.
I have read somewhere elso to disconnecy the battery for 30mins+ to see if that solves it.

Not tried that yet.

Any further suggestions would be most welcome
