Remote control key
The remote control will lock and unlock the vehicle
without having to insert the key in the lock.The remote control transmitter and the battery are integrated in the
handle of the key. The receiver is in the interior of the vehicle. The
maximum range of the remote control depends on various factors.
The range is reduced when the battery starts to lose power.
If the receiver has been repaired or replaced, or if a replacement key
is used, the system will need re-programming by a qualified work-
shop. This is necessary so that the receiver can recognise your
remote control key.
The remote control keys (which are radio-operated) conform with all
relevant requirements for Germany and have been approved by the
Federal Approvals Office for Telecommunications of the Federal
Republic of Germany. All components are marked in accordance
with the current legal requirements. This certification forms the
basis for approval for use in other countries.
Personalised remote control key
When you switch off the ignition or lock the vehicle, the settings of
various convenience features are automatically stored and assigned
individually to the remote control key that is currently in use. The
settings stored for the remote control key are then recalled auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is unlocked, the door is opened
or the ignition is switched on.
Note
•
The remote control key is automatically deactivated when the
ignition is switched on.
•
The function of the remote control key may be impaired by inter-
ference from other nearby radio signals (for example from a mobile
telephone or TV transmitter) if these are in the same frequency
range.
