Vehicle key
Fig. 8
Key: without/with remote control
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 28.
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi-
cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control » Fig. 8 -
or with
radio remote control » Fig. 8 -
.
WARNING■
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) – risk of injury.■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop. You might otherwise unintentionally engage the steering lock
– there is the risk of an accident.
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
■
Operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to the car operating in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking only reacts to the remote
control at less than 3 metres away » page 29.
Note
Please contact a specialist garage if you lose a key as they can obtain a new one
for you.
