WARNING

Changes or modifications not

Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.

Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. If the frequencies are jammed, you
will not be able to use your remote control.
You can lock and unlock the doors with the
key.

Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.

Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
