pressing the unlock button on the remote

When a door handle, or the luggage 
compartment release button are 
operated, the vehicle will search for a 
recognised remote handset signal before 
unlocking. The handset must be within 
one metre of the entry point.

The buttons on the remote handset can 
be used to lock and unlock the vehicle 
when approaching or leaving the vehicle.

arm the alarm. To leave the vehicle in a

remote handset.
