by external influences. The hazard
warning flashers confirm operation.

If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the remote control,
it may be due to the following:
● The range is exceeded.

● 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.
