be affected by external influences.
The hazard warning flashers confirm
operation.
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
● Range exceeded.
● Battery voltage too low.
● Frequent, repeated operation of
the radio remote control while not
in range, which will require
reprogramming. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
● Overload of the central locking
system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
● Interference from higher-power
radio waves from other sources.

turning the switch to left (L) or right
(R). Then swivel the control to adjust
the mirror.
