be locked or unlocked remotely.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and batteries. The receiver is in the inte-
rior of the vehicle. The range of the vehicle key with remote control and new
batteries is several metres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehicle using the remote control key,
this should be re-synchronised
page 77.
Different keys belonging to the vehicle may be used.
Folding the key shaft in and out
When the button is pressed, the key shaft is released and unfolds.
To fold it press the button and fold the key shaft in until it locks in place.
Duplicate keys
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys, the vehicle chassis number is
required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and be coded with the data from the
electronic vehicle immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work if it does not
contain a microchip or the microchip has not been encoded. This is also true
for keys cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be obtained from an authorised tech-
nical service, a specialist workshop or approved key service qualified to
create this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchronised before use
Caution
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic components. Protect the vehicle
keys from damage, impacts and humidity.

Operating instructions
Note
Only use the key button when you require the corresponding function.
Pushing the button unnecessarily could accidentally unlock the vehicle or
trigger the alarm. It is also possible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
Key operation can be greatly influenced by overlapping radio signals
around the vehicle working in the same range of frequencies (for example,
radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather
conditions and discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the
remote control.
