trolled by the remote control units with
their integrated keys, refer to page

The color-coded decals that you
received when taking delivery of your

Each remote control unit is
equipped with an extended-life
battery which is automatically
recharged in the ignition lock each time
you drive the vehicle.
If you have any remote control units that
are not being used on a regular basis,
you should therefore remember to
recharge these units by using them to
drive the vehicle for an extended period
at least once a year, refer to page
