WARNING!
**)Voltage at fuel pump (running) with engine not running (approx. 2 volts
less than battery voltage)
Example:
For this example, 12.2 volts was measured at battery. If voltage at pump
is approx. 2 volts less than battery voltage,it equals a minimum delivery of
550 cc's in 30 seconds.
Note:
Note:
- Close pressure gauge tap position -B- (lever at right angle to direction
of flow).
- Operate remote control at short intervals until a pressure of approx. 3
bar has built-up.
- If pressure builds up too high, lower excess pressure by carefully
opening tap.
WARNING!
Danger of fuel spray when opening pressure tap. Hold open end of
pressure gauge over a suitable container to catch over spray.
- Observe pressure drop.
After 10 minutes pressure must not drop below 2.2 bar.
- Check line connections for leaks and/or replace fuel delivery unit if
necessary Page 20-10 .

Assembly Overview
To unlock vehicle:
To lock vehicle:
- Press briefly on lock button -2-. Opening of vehicle and anti-theft warning system (if
equipped) deactivation is indicated by emergency flashers lighting up twice.
If lock button -2- is pressed for at least one second, anti-theft warning system is activated
at same time.
When lock button -2- or unlock button -1- is pressed, indicator light -3- in key blinks. If this
light does not blink, batteries in the key may be discharged. If necessary, replace
batteries.
Each time locks are unlocked or locked using the radio frequency remote control, system
code is changed.
If lock and/or unlock buttons are operated more than 50 times outside system receiving
range, system will not react until button -1- or -2- is pressed quickly two times.

or:
Note:
- While holding lock button -2-, press unlock button -1- three times.
- Release lock button -2-. Indicator light -3- in key blinks five times.
If control module has accepted synchronizing of the key, the vehicle locks and unlocks
once and emergency flasher system is activated accordingly.

Requirements
Note:
The adaptation of all keys (pressing button) must not exceed 15 seconds.
A successful adaptation can be recognized via "Read measuring value block" -function 08,
display group number 003. When radio-frequency key(s) is/are operated, the first two
measured values must indicate the status OK At the same time, the position number of the
key must be indicated in the last measured value (first, second, third, fourth key).
If the radio-frequency remote control key is operated repeatedly, the third indication -no
measured value- switches to "OK".
