and enable operation of the vehicle sys­
tems such as power window or power sun­
roof leading to serious personal injury.

thorized key is used. The vehicle may not
start if another radio device such as a key .,.

ally switches off unnecessary conven­ i ence funct ions. It is possible that you
will not be able to unlock your vehicle us­
i ng these conven ien ce f unctions.
