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

there is someone inside it, as it cannot
then be unlocked from the inside in some
