Keyless Entry Transmitter: Description and Operation
Central Locking System With Radio Frequency Remote Control Functions (05.98 Through 10.00)
For vehicles from 10.00
Vehicles with radio frequency remote control can be unlocked or locked without direct activation of the door locks. The radio frequency remote control also activates/deactivates the anti-theft warning system. The following information describes the additional functions not found in central locking systems without radio frequency remote control.
The transmitter unit with batteries is located in the handle of the vehicle key. The Central Locking System Control Module -J276- is located behind the instrument cluster.
The effective range of radio frequency remote control is 6 -15 m (20 - 50 ft.). The range depends on various factors (atmospheric conditions, metallic materials in the area of the vehicle, condition of the batteries in the key).
The vehicle will not unlock if the battery is already considerably discharged. The vehicle cannot be locked with the radio frequency remote control and the corresponding key cannot be synchronized.
To unlock vehicle:
- Point key toward vehicle within the effective range and briefly press unlock button - 1 -. Opening of vehicle and anti-theft warning system (if equipped) deactivation are indicated by emergency flashers lighting up twice.
To lock vehicle:
- Press briefly on lock button - 2 -. Opening of vehicle and anti-theft warning system (if equipped) deactivation is indicated by emergency flashers lighting up twice.
If lock button - 2 - is pressed for at least one second, anti-theft warning system is activated at same time.
Locking of vehicle and activation of anti-theft warning system will be displayed by emergency flashers lighting up one time.
When lock button - 2 - or unlock button - 1 - is pressed, indicator light - 3 - in key blinks. If this light does not blink, batteries in the key may be discharged. If necessary, replace batteries.
No synchronizing is required after changing batteries.
Each time locks are unlocked or locked using the radio frequency remote control, system code is changed.
If lock and/or unlock buttons are operated more than 50 times outside system receiving range, system will not react until button - 1 - or - 2 - is pressed quickly two times.
