 Never leave children, disabled persons or
anyone who cannot help themselves in the ve-
hicle. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
For example, depending on the time of year,
people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed
to very high or low temperatures.
 Heat build-up in the passenger compart-
ment and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the ve-
hicle that are much higher than the outside
temperatures, particularly in summer. Tem-
peratures can quickly reach levels that can
cause unconsciousness and death, particu-
larly to small children.
 Never remove the key from steering lock
while the vehicle is moving or while it is rolling
to a stop. The steering wheel column will lock
up and you will not be able to steer or control
the vehicle.
Note
 Never leave any vehicle keys inside the ve-
hicle. Entry by unauthorized persons could
harm the vehicle or your vehicle could be stolen.
Always take the keys with you whenever you
leave your vehicle.
 Unsuitable batteries can damage the remote
control key. Replace used batteries with new
ones of the same voltage and same size.
Tips
 The remote control key only works when you
are in range of the receiver ⇒ page 40, fig. 25
(blue area).
 When you unlock your vehicle with the re-
mote control, you have 30 seconds to open a
door or the rear lid. If you do not, the vehicle will
automatically relock itself. This safety relock fea-
ture prevents you from leaving your vehicle un-
locked.
 If the remote control does not work, it may
have to be synchronized again ⇒ page 41.
 If you try to use the remote control several
times outside its effective range, the remote con-
trol may not work and will have to be reset
⇒ page 41.
 Use the remote control only if you intend to
use one of the functions. Since terrain and con-
ditions may vary, pressing the remote may un-
lock the vehicle or set off the panic function even
if you think your are out of range.
Resetting the remote control key
The remote key has to be reset if it does not lock or unlock the vehicle.
Resetting the remote control key
– Unlock the driver's door manually by
inserting the key in the door lock.
– Switch on the ignition.
Tips
The remote control key will have to be reset if
you press the button several times outside its
effective range and the vehicle can no longer be
locked or unlocked using the remote.
