GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
CAUTIONS
The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions (e.g. amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones,
remote controls and alarm systems). If the
frequencies are jammed, you will not be
able to use your remote control. You can
lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Check your vehicle is locked before
leaving it unattended. This will
safeguard against any potential
malicious frequency blocking.
Note: You could unlock the doors if you
press the buttons on the remote control
unintentionally.
The operating range between your remote
control and your vehicle varies depending
on the environment.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
CONTROL
Note: Additional remote controls can be
programmed only if the vehicle is supplied
with atleast one remote control.
A maximum of eight remote controls
(including the one supplied with your
vehicle) can be programmed. The remote
controls must remain inside the vehicle
during the programming procedure. Fasten
the front seat belts and close all doors to
ensure that conflicting chimes do not
sound during programming.

Keys and Remote Controls

Programming a new remote
control
1. To programme new remote controls
turn the ignition key to position II four
times within six seconds.
2. Turn the ignition to position 0. A tone
sounds to indicate that it is now
possible to programme the remote
controls for ten seconds.
3. Press any button on a new remote
control. A tone will sound as
confirmation.
4. Repeat this last step for all your remote
controls, including your original. Do not
remove the key from the ignition when
pressing the button on this remote
control.
5. Switch the ignition back on (position
II) or wait for ten seconds without
programming another remote control
to end the key programming. Only the
remote controls which you have just
programmed are now able to lock and
unlock the vehicle.
Reprogramming the unlocking
function
Note: When you press the unlock button
either all the doors are unlocked or only the
driver s door is unlocked. Pressing the unlock
button again unlocks all the doors.
Press and hold the unlock and lock buttons
on the remote key simultaneously for at
least four seconds with the ignition off. The
direction indicators will flash twice to
confirm the change.
To return to the original unlocking function,
repeat the process.
Programming the additional key
Note: The additional keys can be
programmed only if you already have two
programmed keys.
