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.
NOTE
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.
