WARNING
● An improper use of the key can cause serious injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle. In case of
emergency, they may not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on their
own.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. Otherwise, this could result
in serious injuries, accidents or even the theft of your vehicle. Always
take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start the engine or activate any
electric equipment (e.g. electric windows), causing risk of accident. The
vehicle can be locked when using the remote control key. This could com-
plicate the aid in case of emergency.
Note
● The remote control key functions only when you are within range
⇒ fig. 47.
● If the vehicle cannot be unlocked or locked by using the radio-frequency
remote control, the remote control key will have to be re-synchronised. For

If the battery indicator does not flash when the buttons are pushed, the bat-
tery must be replaced.

The use of inappropriate batteries may damage the radio frequency remote
control. For this reason, always replace the dead battery with another of the
same size and power.

Used batteries must be disposed of at an appropriate waste facility or
through an authorised service, given that their components can affect the
environment. 

fective range of the radio frequency remote control. The remote control key
will have to be resynchronised.
