be affected by external influences.

be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
■ Range exceeded.
■ Battery voltage too low.
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
radio remote control while not in
range, which will require
reprogramming. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
■ 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.

124Driving and operatingStarting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be
inhibited to allow for charging of the
battery.
