for ignition, doors and luggage
compartment.
Plip remote control unit 2is used to
lock and unlock the doors.
It is powered by a battery which
must be replaced when battery

(refer to the following paragraph).
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Indicator light 1
will come on.)
-Locking is indicated by two
flashes of the hazard warning
lights and the side repeaters.
- The hazard lights and side
repeaters flash once to indicate
unlocking.
Note: depending on the vehicle, if a
door or tailgate is open or not
properly closed, the hazard warning
lights will not flash.
The range in which the remote
control will operate
This varies according to the
surroundings: therefore take care
that when handling the remote
control you do not inadvertently
lock or unlock the doors.

electric windows, and could trap
part of its body (neck, arm, hand,
etc.). Risk of serious injury.
