book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.

KEY/RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: general information (2/2)
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key inside and
never leave a child (or a
pet) unsupervised, even for a short
while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Radio frequency remote
control operating range
This varies according to the environ-
ment: take care not to lock or unlock
the doors by inadvertently pressing the
buttons on the remote control.
Interference
The presence of certain objects (metal
objects, mobile telephones, or an area
with strong electromagnetic radiation,
etc.) close to the key may create inter-
ference and affect the operation of the
system.
For replacement, or if you
require an additional remote
control.
You must only contact an approved
Dealer.
– To replace a remote control, the
vehicle must be taken to an ap-
proved Dealer as both the vehi-
cle and the remote control are
needed to initialise the system.
– Depending on the vehicle, you
have the option of using up to
four remote controls.
Remote control unit failure
Make sure that the correct battery
type is being used, and that the
battery is in good condition and in-
serted correctly. These batteries
have a service life of approximately
two years.
Refer to the information on the “Key,
radio frequency remote control: bat-
teries” in Section 5 for the battery
changing procedure.
