The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-

mote control and new batteries is several me-
tres around the vehicle.

Replacing a key
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 vehicle elec-
tronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work
if it does not contain a microchip or the mi-
crochip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys cut for the vehicle.

obtained from a technical service centre, a

WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
result in severe injury and accident.
Always take all the keys with you whenever
●
you leave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
or the bat-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the
boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activating electrical systems, the elec-
tric windows, for example.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
, the key shaft
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel.

CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponents. Protect them from damage, impacts
and humidity.
Note
Only use the key button when you require
●
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock
the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is also pos-
sible 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
(e.g. radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehicle, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control.
