Remote control
Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is automatically recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. Use each remote control at least twice a year for longer road trips in order to maintain the batteries' charge status. In cars with Comfort
Access, the remote control contains a replaceable battery.
The settings called up and implemented when the car is unlocked depend on which remote control is used to unlock the car, refer to Personal Profile, next column.
In addition, information about service requirements is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 221.
