Using the system
WARNING
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
■
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) – risk of injury!
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
■
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally –
risk of accident!

CAUTION

21
Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
■
22
against moisture and severe shocks.
22
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
■
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
22
tion lock.
The function of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
■
from transmitters located near the vehicle that operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phones, television transmitters).
The battery must be replaced if the central locking does react to the remote
■
control at less than around 3 metres away
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.
