Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical tipsTe c h n i c a l D a t a Replacing the remote control battery
When the light Ÿpage 188, fig. 132 on the remote control does not
come on when the button is pressed, the remote control battery should soon
be replaced.
The battery is located beneath a cover on the back of the remote control. Turn
the slot to the left using a flat, blunt object (e.g. a coin). When changing the
battery, use another battery of the same model and observe the polarity when
fitting it Ÿ.
Range
The receiver is in the interior of the vehicle. The remote control, when fitted
with new batteries, has a range of several hundred metres. Obstacles
between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and
discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the remote control.
An optimum range is obtained by keeping the remote control vertical, with
the aerial Ÿpage 188, fig. 132 pointing upwards. When doing so, do not
cover the aerial with your fingers or with the palm of your hand.
There must be a minimum distance of two metres between the remote control
and the vehicle.
Caution
xThe radiofrequency remote control contains electronic components.
Therefore, avoid getting the remote control wet and from being knocked and
protect it from direct sunlight.
xUse of inappropriate batteries may damage the remote control. For this
reason, always replace the dead battery with another of the same voltage,
size and specifications.
For the sake of the environment
Please dispose of old batteries so that they do not harm the environment.
For the sake of the environment
The remote control battery may contain perchlorate. Observe the legal
requirements for their disposal.
Programming the auxiliary heater
The heater or ventilation inside the vehicle can be programmed for a certain
period.
Before programming, check that the day is correctly set in the Auxiliary
heater - day of the week menu Ÿ.
Enabling the Auxiliary heater menu on the instrument panel
xFrom the main menu, select the Auxiliary heater submenu and press the
button on the windscreen wiper lever.
xALTERNATIVELY: press the or arrow buttons on the multi-function
steering wheel until the Auxiliary heater menu is displayed.
a)Within its range, the remote control might not receive the signal sent by the vehicle

button on the remote control once again.
