Note: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

The distance between the transmitter and the vehicle is approximately 10 m.

A reduction in operating range may be caused by:
  • weather conditions
  • proximity to radio antennas
  • presence of structures around the vehicle
  • other vehicles parked close to your vehicle.
The radio frequency used by the remote control may also be used by other radio transmission devices, such as amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headsets, wireless remote controls, mobile phones, chargers and alarm systems. If there is interference on the frequencies, the remote control will not be usable. The doors can be locked and unlocked with the key.

Note: Make sure the vehicle doors are locked before leaving the vehicle.

Note: Within the operating range, the remote control may operate if any button is pressed accidentally.

Note: The remote control contains sensitive electrical components. Exposure to moisture or impacts may cause permanent damage.
