The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-
teries. The receiver is in the interior of the ve-
hicle. The range of the vehicle key with re-
mote control and new batteries is several me-
tres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehi-
cle using the remote control key, this should
be re-synchronised ››› page 112 or the bat-
tery changed ››› page 111.

in until it locks in place.
Spare key
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,
the vehicle chassis number is required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and
be coded with the data from the vehicle elec-
tronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work
if it does not contain a microchip or the mi-
crochip has not been encoded. This is also
true for keys cut for the vehicle. The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be
obtained fr

om a technical service centre, a
specialised workshop or approved key serv-
ice qualified to provide this kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchron-
ised before use ››› page 112. WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may
re s

ult in severe injury and accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever
you le
ave the vehicle. Children and unauthor-
ised individuals could lock the doors or the
boot hatch, start the engine or turn on the ig-
nition, activating electrical systems, the elec-
tric windows, for example.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car
. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety. For example, de-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehic
le is in motion. The steering may
lock and it will not be possible to turn the
steering wheel. 110
