Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:•
to unlock and lock the car,
•
unlocking boot lid,
•
electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporated in the handle of the remote control key. The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control is approx. 10 m. But this range of
the remote control can be reduced if the
batteries are weak. The remote control key has a fold-open key
bit which can be used
for unlocking and
locking the car manually and also for starting the engine. If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed, it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
•
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to th
e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by a specialist garage, if the central locking or
anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away.•
If the driver door is opened, the vehi
cle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
