WARNING
•
An improper use of the key can cause serious injuries.
•
Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle. In case of emer-
gency, they may not be able to leave the vehicle and not manage on their
own.
•
Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. Otherwise, this could result in
serious injuries, accidents or even the theft of your vehicle. Always take the
key with you when you leave the vehicle.
•
An uncontrolled use of the key could start the engine or activate any
electric equipment(e.g. electric win dows), causing risk of accident. The
vehicle can be locked when using the remote control key. This could
complicate the aid in cas of emergency.Note
•
The radio-frequency remote control can be programmed by means of
pressing the unlocking button once; as a result, only the driver door will
unlock. When the button is pressed once more, all doors and the tailgate will
be unlocked.

The remote control functions only when you are in range ⇒page 98,
fig. 64 (red area).
•
If the vehicle is unlocked using the button, it will lock again auto-
matically if any of the doors or the tailgate are not opened within 30 seconds
after unlocking it. This function prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked
if the unlock button is pressed by mistake.

If the vehicle cannot be opened and closed using the remote control, the
remote control key will have to be re-synchronised ⇒page 99.
