Operation, Safety

Malfunction of the remote controlThe remote control may not function correctly due
to local radio wave interference. The vehicle will
then not lock properly.
This can be identified by the missing locking
sound and the missing check-back signal of the
emergency flasher.
If this should occur:
f Lock the vehicle with the key in the door.
The remote-control standby function
switches off after 7 daysIf the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the re-
mote control within 7 days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to prevent dis-
charging of the vehicle battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver’s door with the
key at the door lock.
Leave the door closed in order to prevent the
alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control.
The remote control is now activated again and
the alarm system is switched off.
Operational readiness of the remote
control interruptedEncoded data is transmitted to the vehicle each
time the wireless remote control is operated. If the
remote control is operated too often outside the
range of the vehicle, this can result in the central
locking system no longer responding.
In this case, the remote control and vehicle must
be synchronized.
Carrying out the synchronization
1. Unlock the driver's door with the key at the door lock.
2. Open driver’s door and insert the ignition key into the ignition lock within 10 seconds to
prevent the alarm system from being
triggered.
3. With the key inserted, press and hold button 1
