Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the radio frequency remote
control, it may be due to the following:
z
The range of the remote control has
been exceeded.
z
Remote control battery voltage is too
low. Battery replacement –
see next column.
z
Frequent, repeated operation of the
remote control outside the reception
range of the vehicle (e.g. too far from
vehicle, remote control is then no longer
recognised). Remote control
synchronisation - see right-hand column.
z
If the central locking system is
overloaded as a result of repeated
operation at short intervals. The power
supply is cut off for a brief period.
z
Interference from higher-power radio
waves from other sources.
