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 key is approx. 10 m. But this range 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 deacti vated when the ignition is switched on.
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to the 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 vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
