The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The remote control key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking
and locking the car manually and also for starting the engine.
The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after the receiver unit is
repaired or replaced. Only then can the remote control key be used again.
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
Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
■
against moisture and severe shocks.
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-
tion lock.
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
■
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 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.
