What to Do If the Santana Key Is Lost?
1 Answers
Santana 2000 and Santana 2000GSI (Superman) models come with three keys and one key tag. Among them, two are master keys that can open all locks on the vehicle. The third is a sub-key, which can open all locks except for the trunk and glove box. If a key is lost, you can use the spare key and then have a new key made using the key tag. Below is relevant information about the Santana 2000 keys: 1. Key Tag: Particularly for the Santana 2000GSI model, the key tag contains the key's tooth shape number, the anti-theft system control unit's identification code, and password. If the master or sub-key is lost, you should immediately take the key tag to an authorized Shanghai Volkswagen service station to have a new key made and matched. This process also renders the lost key's code invalid, but the new key must be matched by the service station before it can be used normally. 2. Magnetic Chip System: Each vehicle has its own unique chip, similar to a human ID card, which is part of the magnetic chip system. The car's ignition lock cylinder's reading coil will read the key's chip. Each chip has fixed digital information.
