can be temporarily disrupted by interfer-
ence from transmitters in the vicinity of

ment).

tion is working, you should always keep
your eye on the vehicle to make sure it is
properly locked.
- Do not use the remote contral ifyou are

main inside the vehicle. Remember,
when you lock the vehicle fram the out-
side the windows cannot be opened from
the inside.

move
the ignition key and take it with
you. This will prevent passengers (chil-
dren, for example) from accidentally be-
ing locked in the vehicle should they acci-
dentally press the power locking switch.

unsup~rvised. In an emergency it would
be impossible to open the doors fram

ually using the vehicle key.
