Synchronization Of Ignition Keys With Radio-frequency Remote Control From 05.00
Synchronization is necessary when the vehicle does not open or close when radio-frequency button is operated or when the relevant malfunction is indicated in the Read measuring value block function. It is possible that the key code and control module code no longer match. This can occur if the send button on the key is operated frequently outside the operational range of the system.
The vehicle key(s) must be resynchronized if this occurs. The synchronization procedure must not last longer than 15 seconds.
- Insert key into ignition lock.
- Switch on ignition.
- Switch ignition off within 5 seconds.
- Switch ignition on again within 5 seconds.
- Using the new key (being adapted), mechanically lock the vehicle within 15 seconds (i.e. driver-side door) or lock it via the internal locking switch and then operate the radio-frequency button on the key.
- After a pause of more than one second (but within 30 seconds), operate the radio-frequency button on the key a second time.
