Ð
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNING
If the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – hazard!

■
vehicle is in your line of sight.
To avoid the car being locked inadvertently once in the car, the lock button
■
of the remote control must not be pressed before the key is inserted into the ig-
nition lock. Should this happen, press the unlock button

If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it
is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery on the remote control was replaced.
