Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:•
to unlock and lock the car,
•
unlocking boot lid,
•
electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporated in the handle of the remote control key. The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control is approx. 10 m. But this range of
the remote control can be reduced if the
batteries are weak. The remote control key has a fold-open key
bit which can be used
for unlocking and
locking the car manually and also for starting the engine. If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed, it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
•
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to th
e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by a specialist garage, if the central locking or
anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away.•
If the driver door is opened, the vehi
cle cannot be locked using the remote
control.

opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system. Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the ke
y into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and sw
itch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The

tical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.

itions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on,
the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens
es can possibly mist up at the border
areas. − It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. − This mist has no influence on th
e life of the lighting system.
Daylight driving lightsIn some countries, the na
tional legal provisions require that the vehicles are equipped
with the function daylight driving lights.
