vated with risk of injury, for example, in the electric windows.

the doors or the tailgate 30 seconds after unlocking the car. This function prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is
pressed by mistake.

this should be re-synchronised ⇒page 95 or change the battery ⇒page 95.
