The memory stores the values for the journey and the con-
sumption from the moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than two hours, the mem-
ory is automatically erased. If the journey is continued in
less than two hours after the ignition is switched off, the
new data is added to the data already stored in the mem-
ory.
2Total mem-
ory (for all

The memory records the values for a specific number of
partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles) for 9999 km
(or miles), depending on the model of instrument panel.
On reaching either of these limits, the memory is automati-
cally erased and starts to count from 0 again.

Pushing the button unnecessarily could accidentally unlock the vehicle or
trigger the alarm. It is also possible even when you are outside the radius of

Key operation can be greatly influenced by overlapping radio signals around
the vehicle working in the same range of frequencies (for example, radio
transmitters, mobile telephones).

Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather condi-
tions and discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the
remote control.

submenu Convenience, you may push the button twice Ÿpage 70 to
