NOTE
It is important that only one pressure-sensi-
tive surface is activated at a time. If the han-
dle is grasped at the same time as the lock
area is pressed, there is a risk that double
commands may be sent. This may cause the
requested action (locking/unlocking) to be
delayed or not performed at all.

plate that can only be used for unlocking.
NOTE Please be aware that the system could be
activated in a car wash if the remote key is
