There is no limit to the number of times the code can be re-entered; the instrument panel will turn off automatically 120 seconds after an attempt to enter the code.
If the entered code was correctly, the message "correct" will flash on the display for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the instrument panel will return to the "normal" view (with all indications active).
From this moment, the vehicle can be started using the start button (key-on).
