The security system (alarm) will be activated only when the vehicle is locked
using the RKE. Locking the doors with the mechanical key will not trigger the
alarm.
When the vehicle is armed by RKE, opening the door from the inside by
operating the door inner handle or opening the door from the outside using the
key will be treated as unauthorized activating the vehicle security alarm. If this
occurs, the alarm can be disarmed by either pressing the ‘UNLOCK’ button on
the RKE or turning ON the ignition followed by a successful authentication.
7.4.9 RKE Operating Range
W12G15
Using RKE, you can lock/arm or unlock/disarm the vehicle from distances approx.
30ft.(9m).
If there is reduction in RKE range, please follow the steps below:
•
Check the distance: The RKE may be too far from the vehicle. Stand closer to
the vehicle during rain or bad weather
•
Check the location: Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signals.
Take a few steps to the left or right, hold the RKE higher, and try again.
Moreover, closeness to a radio transmitter such as radio station tower,
airport transmitter, mobile or CB radios may lead to reduction in range of
RKE
•
Check the RKE battery: See battery replacement procedure, given later in
this section
•
If the RKE is still not working correctly, contact an Authorized Mahindra
Dealer
