your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the

Locking the vehicle

when you leave the vehicle, even for a shor t time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could
cause malfunctions.
