Radio remote control
Used to operate:
■ Central locking system.
■ Anti-theft alarm system.

the operation.
Handle with care, protect it from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.

20 Keys, doors and windows
The radio remote control will not work
when inserted in the ignition as a
precaution to avoid unwilling
activation of the remote control.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
■ Range exceeded.
■ Battery voltage too low.
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
remote control while not in range,
which will require
resynchronisation.
■ Overloading the central locking by
operating at frequent intervals, the
power supply is interrupted for a
short time.
■ Interference from higher-power
radio waves from other sources.
Opening the vehicle 3 21.
