Central locking system Door locks – from outside The conceptThe central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and re-
leases the locks on the
>doors
>luggage compartment lid
>fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
>from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
>from inside by pressing a button.
Activating it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door (see page 38).
When the system is actuated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is acti-
vated simultaneously. Both the door
locks and release handles remain
locked. The alarm system
* is also
armed or disarmed.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically.
In addition, the hazard warning flashers
and interior lamps come on.
Using the keyOne turn of the key in the door lock
opens only the driver's door, a second
turn of the key opens the passenger
door, the luggage compartment lid and
the fuel filler door.
You can have a confirmation mes-
sage set to inform you that the car
has been properly locked.<
You will find additional information on
the alarm system on page 42.460de006
Convenience operating modeYou can also operate the electric win-
dows and sliding/tilt sunroof via the
door lock.
>To open: With the door closed, turn
the key to the "Unlock" position and

hold it.
Watch during the closing process
to make sure that nobody is in-
jured accidentally. Letting go of the key
stops the operation.

Luggage compartment lidOpening from the inside If the luggage compartment lid has not
been locked separately, you can open it
with this button in the footwell on the
driver's side when the vehicle is station-
ary.460de011
To closeThe handle recesses in the interior trim
panel of the luggage compartment lid
(arrows) make it easier to pull the lid
down.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage com-
partment lid is clear when it is closed,
as with all closing procedures.<460de067
Do not drive with the luggage
compartment lid open, since
exhaust fumes could penetrate the inte-
rior of the vehicle. Should it be abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open:
>Close all windows. Shut the sliding/
tilt sunroof
>Increase the airflow of the automatic
climate control to a high level. Refer
to page 88.<

Alarm system
*
>If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is dis-
armed: An attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.Avoiding unwanted alarm The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can prevent triggering false
alarms in high-rise garages or if the
vehicle is transported on a car-carrier
train, for instance, by doing the
following:
Lock the vehicle twice (= arm the sys-
tem). Press button 2 on the remote con-
trol twice in succession or lock the vehi-
cle twice with the key (refer to page 36).
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
Interior motion sensorThe transmitter and receiver of the inte-
rior motion sensor are located in a trim
panel in the vehicle's headliner.
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof must be completely
closed.
But make sure to turn off the interior
motion sensor (see previous column),
if
>children or animals are left in the
vehicle
>the windows and/or sunroof are left
open.460de159
The tilt sensor and interior motion
sensor are deactivated if the con-
venience closing mode for the windows
and the sliding/tilt sunroof is interrupted
within the first 10 seconds and then
reinitiated. If this happens, you must
disarm the system and then re-arm it.<

Sliding/tilt sunroof
*
To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt sun-
roof and keep it in your field of vision
until it is completely closed.
Remove the key from the ignition and
close the doors when you leave the
vehicle, so that children cannot operate
the sunroof and possibly injure them-
selves.<
To avoid pressure or drafts in the pas-
senger compartment when the sunroof
is open or raised, keep the air vents in
the dashboard open and increase the air
supply if necessary. Refer to page 91.
When competely opened, the sunroof
may cause unpleasant vibrations in the
vehicle interior. To eliminate these
vibrations, close the sunroof until this
natural effect disappears.
For the convenience operating mode
with the door lock or the remote con-
trol, refer to page 34 or 35.
Lifting – opening – closingIn ignition key position 1 or 2, press the
switch or slide it to the desired direction
until you feel resistance.
When lifting, the headliner retracts
several inches.
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sunroof for up
to 15 minutes, as long as neither of the
front doors has been opened and then
closed.460de015
Automatic opening and closing>Press the switch past the resistance
point briefly: The sunroof travels to
either the fully-closed or fully-open
position
>With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift": The sun-
roof automatically extends to its fully
raised position.
Pressing the switch again briefly stops
the motion immediately.
