WARNING
Never leave children or disabled persons
●
in the vehicle. In case of emergency, they
may not be able to leave the vehicle or
manage on their own.
An uncontrolled use of the key could start
●
the engine or activate any electric equip-
ment (e.g. electric windows), causing risk
of accident. The doors can be locked using
the remote control key. This could become
an obstacle for assistance in an emergen-
cy situation.
Never forget the keys inside the vehicle.
●
An unauthorised use of your vehicle could
result in injury, damage or theft. Therefore
always take the key with you when you
leave the vehicle.
Never remove the key from the ignition if
●
the vehicle is in motion. Otherwise, the
steering could suddenly block and it would
be impossible to steer the vehicle.
CAUTION

components. Protect them from damage,
impacts and humidity.
Note
Only use the key button when you require
●
the corresponding function. Pushing the

the radius of action.
Key operation can be greatly influenced
●
by overlapping radio signals close to the
vehicle working in the same range of fre-
quencies, for example, radio transmitters or
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.

pressed or one of the central locking but-
