CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponents. Pr ot
ect them from damage, impacts

se the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock

apping radio signals around the vehicle
working in the same range of frequencies
(e.g. radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehic
le, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control. Control lamp on the vehicle key
