The PCC's range for locking, unlocking and
tailgate is approx. 20 m from the car - for
other functions up to approx. 100 m. If the car does not verify a button being pressed - move closer and try again.

The information button function may be disrupted by surrounding radio waves,buildings, topographical conditions, etc.
Out of PCC rangeIf the PCC is too far away from the car for the information to be read then the status the carwas last left in is shown, without the lighttravelling around on the PCC. If several PCCs are used for the car then it is only the PCC last used for locking/unlockingthat shows correct status.
NOTE
If no indicator lamps illuminate when
the information button is used within range then this may be because the last commu-nication between the PCC and the car wasdisrupted by surrounding radio waves,buildings, topographical conditions etc.

Additional PCCs can beordered, see Remote control key with keyblade (p. 149). The car's electrical system can be set to three different levels - key position 0, I and II
(p. 70) - with the remote control key.

Keyless drive* - handling the PCC safely
It is important to handle all remote control keys with great care. If a PCC with keyless function is left in the car, it is deactivated temporarily when the caris locked. This prevents unauthorised entry. However, if someone breaks into the car and finds the PCC, it can be reactivated. It istherefore important to handle all PCCs withgreat care.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a PCC in the car.
