DANGER
If batteries with a diameter of 20 mm or other lithium batteries are swal-
lowed, serious or even fatal injuries may result in a very short time.
● Always keep the vehicle key and key chains with batteries, spare batteries,
button cells and other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of reach of
children.
● Get medical attention immediately if you assume that a battery has been
swallowed.
WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle keys can cause accidents and seri-
ous injuries.
● Always take along all vehicle keys when leaving the vehicle. Children or
unauthorised persons can lock the doors and boot lid, start the engine, switch
on the ignition and thus operated electrical equipment, such as power win-
dows.
WARNING (Continued)
● Never allow children or people requiring help alone in the vehicle. In an
emergency, they are unable to leave the vehicle alone or to help themselves.
For example, depending on the season, very high or low temperatures may de-
velop in a closed vehicle, causing serious injuries and illness or death, espe-
cially in young children.
● Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. The steering lock can engage and the vehicle can no longer be steered.

Vehicle key
With the vehicle key, the vehicle can be remotely locked and unlocked.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the vehicle key. The receiver is loca-
ted in the interior of the vehicle. The effective range of the vehicle key is a few
metres around the vehicle when the battery is full.
When it is not possible to open or close the vehicle with the vehicle key, the vehi-
cle key must be re-synchronised ⇒ page 34 or the battery in the vehicle key
must be replaced ⇒ page 34.
Multiple vehicle keys may be used.
