water or steam away from and then back onto the door handle sensor surface in quick succes-
sion.

not lock and the vehicle will not lock via sensors in the front door handles or the remote control vehicle
key.

be possible to unlock and lock the vehicle using Keyless Access The vehicle can still be manually
locked or unlocked with the emergency key.

no remote control vehicle key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recognize the remote control
vehicle key. The key may not be recognized, for example, if it is covered by something that interferes
with the signal (such as a briefcase), or if the remote control vehicle key battery is weak. Electronic
devices such as cell phones can also interfere with the signal.
