The programming instructions in the manual are about matching the key to
the engine immobiliser / door locks. The key sometimes loses range and
the frequency needs to be reset by a different method.
On my UK 2001 model - and I may not have remembered this correctly - get
in the car - put the key in the ignition and turn it to the on position
(but don't start the car) - press the lock button on the remote three
times within 30 seconds - turn off ignition - remove key.
Perhaps someone else can confirm the procedure.
