Malfunctions
The remote control may malfunction as a result
of interference from localised radio signals.
If this occurs, unlock and lock the car by insert-
ing the key into the door lock.
If the car can no longer be locked with a remote
control, the battery in the remote control is flat.
Use this remote control when driving a relatively
long distance to recharge its battery, see
page
26 .
Via the door lock
Do not lock the car from the outside when
there is someone inside it, as it cannot
then be unlocked from the inside in some
national-market versions.
<
In some national versions, the alarm sys-
tem
* is triggered when the door lock is
unlocked.
To switch off the alarm:
Unlock the car with the remote control, see
page
28 , or insert the remote control fully into
the ignition lock. <
For further details of the alarm system * , see
page 34 .
