Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote control, this may
be due to the following reasons:

control is too low. Change the battery in
the remote control unit.
z The remote control has been repeatedly
operated outside the vehicle’s reception
range (e.g. at too great a distance from
the vehicle). The remote control must be
reprogrammed. We recommend you

The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the near side of the
lane.
When driving in coun tries which drive on

glare for oncoming traffic.

headlamp pattern should be adjusted
down to the horizontal position.
Have the headlamps adjusted by a
workshop.
