Note
● If the vehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, it is likely that the vehicle
will not be able to be lock or unlocked with
the Keyless Access system. The vehicle can
›››
be unlocked or locked manually
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the system fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
●
er of salt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. If this is the
›››
case, wash the vehicle page 251.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
gearbox, it may only be locked in the gear
