Car Pass

The Car Pass contains security

related vehicle data and should

therefore be kept in a safe place.
When the vehicle is taken to a

workshop, this vehicle data is needed

in order to perform certain operations.

Radio remote control

Used to operate:

● central locking system 3 26
● load compartment 3 35
● anti-theft locking system 3 37
● anti-theft alarm system 3 38

The remote control has a range of

approx. five metres. It can be

restricted by external influences. The

hazard warning flashers confirm

operation.
Handle with care, protect it from

moisture and high temperatures and

avoid unnecessary operation.
Depending on model, the vehicle may

use a 2-button or 3-button remote

control or an electronic key which

includes the functionality of the

remote control.
Electronic key system 3 24.

Fault

If the central locking system cannot

be operated with the remote control,

it may be due to the following:

● The range is exceeded.
● The battery voltage is too low.
● Frequent, repeated operation of

the remote control while not in

range, which will require

reprogramming by a workshop.

● Overload of the central locking

system by operating at frequent

intervals; the power supply is

interrupted for a short time.

● Interference from higher-power

radio waves from other sources.

Manual key operation 3 26.

Remote control battery

replacement

Replace the battery as soon as the

range reduces.

Batteries do not belong in household

waste. They must be disposed of at

an appropriate recycling collection

point.
