NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components. Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmit-ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒  Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the outside or
the power locking buttons ⇒  Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside are pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the rear hatch is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.
