your vehicle. You may stop it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is

switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locked vehicle

difficult for the emergency services to enter the
vehicle in an emergency.

safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a
very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle. Second-hand vehicle
