hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.

If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or

Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an

possible to avoid the possibility of theft or
an accident. Then, have the identification
number of your new transmitter registered.
