restricted by external influences. The
hazard warning flashers confirm
operation.

moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.

be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:

■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
radio remote control while not in
range, which will require re-
synchronisation.
■ Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
