by external influences. The hazard
warning flashers confirm operation.
Handle with care, protect it from
moisture and high temperatures and

● Frequent, repeated operation of the remote control while not in
range, which will require
reprogramming by a workshop.
● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Unlocking 3 21.
