Remote control
Use this procedure in the following situations:
– Remote control battery discharged.
– Remote control malfunction.
– Vehicle battery discharged.
– Vehicle in an area subject to strong
electromagnetic interference.
In the first case, change the remote control
battery.
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
If one of the doors or the boot is still
open, central locking will not take
place.
However, if the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be activated after 45 seconds.
In the second case, reinitialise the remote
control.
Refer to the corresponding sections.
The remote control does not work when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors
or boot are not subsequently
opened, the vehicle will automatically lock
itself again after about 30 seconds. If the
vehicle is fitted with an alarm, it will be
reactivated automatically.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic
vehicle immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
remember to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.

for a short time.

key code and the transponder code, enabling a
new key to be ordered.
