Radio remote control
Used to operate:
● central locking system
● anti-theft locking system

The radio remote control has a range of approx. 20 metres. It can be
restricted by external influences. The
hazard warning flashers confirm
operation.
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
● Range is exceeded.
● Battery voltage is too low.
● Frequent, repeated operation of the radio remote control while not
in range, which will require re-
synchronisation.
● Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.

gases, which cannot be seen or

and even death.
Caution
Before opening the boot lid check
overhead obstructions, such as a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the boot lid. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
boot lid.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the boot lid may
affect its ability to remain open.Vehicle security
