Keys
The telltale light for the
radio-operated key flashes
while the search for the radio-
operated key is in progress.
The light goes out as soon as
the radio-operated key or the
emergency key is found.
The light goes out briefly if
the search times out without
the radio-operated key or the
emergency key being found.
You receive one radio-operated
key and one spare key. If a key
is lost or mislaid, consult the
notes on the electronic immob-
iliser (EWS) ( 61).
Ignition, fuel filler cap and anti-
theft alarm system all work
with the radio-operated key.
Seat lock, topcase and cases
can be locked and unlocked
manually.
The vehicle cannot be
started if the radio con-
trol key is not within range (e.g.
key inside one of the cases or
the topcase).
If the radio-operated key re-
mains out of range, the ignition
is switched off after about 1.5
minutes to protect the battery.
It is advisable to keep the ra-
dio-operated key on your per-
son (e.g. in a jacket pocket)
and to have the emergency key
with you as an alternative.
