Each remote control unit is equipped
with an extended-life battery which is
automatically recharged in the ignition lock
each time you drive the vehicle.

are not being used on a regular basis, you
should therefore remember to recharge
these units by using them to drive the
vehicle for an extended period at least
once a year, refer to page
