Keys/remote controls
1 Each remote control has an integrated key.
Power is supplied by a long-life recharge-
able battery that is automatically recharged
when it is in the ignition lock while the car is
being driven. Consequently, you should use
each remote control at least twice a year in
order to keep the batteries charged. The
settings called up and implemented when
the car is unlocked depend on which
remote control is used to unlock the car,
refer to Personal Profile, next page.
In addition, information about service
requirements is stored in the remote con-
trol, refer to Service data in the remote con-
trol on page
185 .
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place, such
as in your wallet. This key is not intended for

key. It can be connected on the inner left-
hand side of the glove compartment lid. You
will find more information about the adapter
under Using the adapter for a spare key.
