qualiﬁed workshop.

Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise

certain equipment:

– Remote control key or electronic key

(depending on version).

– Sunroof and electric blind.

The front battery is located under the bonnet.

The batteries contain harmful

substances (sulphuric acid and lead).

They must be disposed of in accordance

with regulations and must never under any

circumstances be discarded with household

waste.

– Date and time.

– Preset radio stations.

Take used remote control batteries and

vehicle batteries to a special collection point.

After reconnecting the battery, the
