Do not discard old batteries; take
them to an approved recyclingpoint.
Re-initialisation of the
remote control
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling inorder to avoid the risk of fi re or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxicationor asphyxiation, the program-mable heating should not beused, even for a short time, inan enclosed space such as agarage, or workshop withoutexhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle over infl ammable materials (dry grass,dead leaves, papers…), as thereis a risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicleísfuel tank. Before using it, ensurethat there is suffi cient fuel in thetank. If the low fuel warning lampis on we strongly recommendthat you do not programme theheating to come on.
