following:
■ Fault in electronic key.
■ Electronic key is out of reception range.
■ The battery voltage is too low.
■ 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.
To rectify the cause of the fault,
