KEY/RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: general information (2/2)
The remote control operating
range
This varies according to the environ-
ment: therefore take care when han-
dling the remote control that you do not
inadvertently lock or unlock the doors.
Note: on certain vehicles, if a door
is not opened within approximately
30 seconds of the door being unlocked
by remote control, the doors will lock
again automatically.
Interference
Interference by factors in the immediate
vicinity (external installations or the use
of equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control) may
affect the operation of the remote con-
trol.
Advice
Avoid leaving the remote control in
hot, cold or humid areas.
For replacement, additional keys
or remote controls, contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
– To replace a remote control, the
vehicle and all its keys must be
taken to an approved Dealer
as both the vehicle and all the
remote controls are needed to in-
itialise 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
should have a service life of approx-
imately two years.
Refer to the information on “Radio
frequency remote control: batteries”
in Section 5 for the battery changing
procedure.
