WARNING

Improper or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.

•

Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or

unauthorised persons could lock the doors and tailgate, start the engine, switch on the

ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.

•

Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could

become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to

safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low

temperatures, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or

fatalities, especially for small children.

Every vehicle key contains electronic components. Protect the key from damage, moisture

and excessive vibration.

Press the buttons on the key only if the corresponding function is actually needed. Pressing

a button when the function is not required could lead to the vehicle being unlocked unintentionally

or the alarm going off. This also applies even when you are not within the effective range.

The function of the vehicle key can be affected temporarily if there is more than one

transmitter in the direct vicinity working on the same frequency (e.g. a two-way radio or mobile

telephone).

Obstacles between the key and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and weak batteries can

reduce the range of the remote control.

If the buttons on the vehicle key ⇒ Fig. 16 or one of the central locking buttons ⇒ Central

locking system are pressed repeatedly within a short period of time, the central locking system will

switch off briefly to prevent overloading. The vehicle will then be unlocked. Lock the vehicle if

necessary.
