Abstract
An anti-theft system for motor vehicles, comprises a code input device for inputing a code; a storage device for storing a predetermined code; an electronic system for comparing the inputted code with the stored code; and an enabling device actuated when the inputted code corresponds to the stored code. The enabling device is effective, when actuated, to enable starting the vehicle engine by the vehicle ignition switch being turned to its On-position. The system further includes a manually operable reset device effective, when operated with the ignition switch in its Off-position, to deactuate the enabling device, but not effective when operated with the ignition switch in its On-position to deactuate the enabling device.
