Opening and closing: from outside

Using remote control

When you engage/release the vehicle
locks, you also activate/deactivate the
anti-theft system, arm/disarm the alarm
system, and switch the interior lamps
on/off.

You can have an acknowledgment
signal set to confirm that the vehi-

cle is correctly locked.

Protect the remote control against

only the spare key, for example when
using hotel valet parking.
