All turn signal lamps blink once to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked. The remote control can be programmed for two kinds of unlocking modes (see below): Selective unlocking mode - Press transmit button Œ once to unlock driver's door and fuel filler flap. Press transmit button Œ twice to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk. Global unlocking mode - Press transmit button Œ once to unlock both doors, fuel filler flap, and trunk.

Note: If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked by pressing the transmit button, then it may be necessary to change the batteries in the electronic main key (if ok, battery check lamp in electronic main key will light briefly when pressing transmit button) or to synchronize the remote control, see pages 363 and 365.
