Operation
CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic
components. Protect them from damage,
impacts and humidity.
Note
●
Only use the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the
button unnecessarily could accidentally
unlock the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is
also possible even when you are outside the
radius of action.
●
Key operation can be greatly influenced
by overlapping radio signals close to the ve-
hicle working in the same range of frequen-
cies, for example, radio transmitters or mo-
bile telephones.
●
Obstacles between the remote control
and the vehicle, bad weather conditions
and discharged batteries can considerably
reduce the range of the remote control.
●
If the buttons of the vehicle key are
pressed or one of the central locking but-
tons
›››
page 89 is pressed repeatedly in
short succession, the central locking briefly
disconnects as protection against over-
loading. The vehicle is then unlocked. Lock
it if necessary.
●
Spare remote control keys are available at
your Technical Service, where they must be
matched to the locking system.
●
Up to five remote control keys can be
used.
