Remote control vehicle keys

Fig. 17 Remote control vehicle key with panic button.

.NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components. Protect them from damage,
moisture and rough handling.
.Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the
function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle
key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you
are out of range.
.Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from trans-
mitters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or cellular
phones).
.Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak
battery can reduce the operating range.
.If the remote control vehicle key buttons or the power locking buttons ⇒ fig. 24 are pushed
repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep
it from being overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the rear
hatch is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.
