Keys
The key set
1Master keys with remote control: they
determine the functions of the Key
Memory, refer to page 31.
You can mark individual keys for subse-
quent identification by applying the col-
ored decals that you received when
accepting delivery of your vehicle
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key that is
charged automatically in the ignition
lock as you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master key
with remote control that is otherwise
not used, use that key approximately
once a year while driving for an
extended period to charge the bat-
tery.<
2Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet.
This key does not open the lock of the
luggage compartment lid – useful for
valet parking, for example.
This key is not intended for constant
use
Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system simultaneously
engages and releases the locks on the>doors
>luggage compartment lid
>fuel filler door
>storage compartment between the
backrests
>opened manual convertible top.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated
>from outside using the remote control
or via the driver's door lock
>from inside via the central locking sys-
tem button.
If it is operated from inside, the fuel filler
door will not be locked. Refer to page 18.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle. It
prevents the doors from being unlocked
with the lock buttons or release handles.
The alarm system is also armed.
The central locking system unlocks auto-
matically in the event of an accident. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and
interior lamps come on.
Remote control
The concept
The remote control provides two additional
functions for central locking.
>Switching on interior lamps, refer to
page 17.
With this function, you can also search
for the vehicle when parked in an
underground garage, for instance
>Opening the luggage compartment lid
separately, refer to page 17. It will open
slightly, regardless of whether it was
locked or unlocked.
Whenever you unlock or lock the vehicle,
you simultaneously deactivate/activate
the anti-theft system, disarm/arm the alarm

To lock
>Either use the central locking button to
lock both doors at once or
>press the individual door lock buttons
down.
To prevent the driver from being
inadvertently locked out of the
vehicle, the driver's door lock button
will not engage as long as the door is
open.<
Since persons or animals in the vehi-
cle could lock the doors from the
inside, always take the vehicle keys with
you so that the vehicle can be opened
again from the outside at any time.<
Luggage compartment lid
To open from the outside
Turn the master key to the left as far as it
will go. The luggage compartment lid will
open slightly.
If the alarm system is armed, opening the
luggage compartment with the key will trig-
ger an alarm; refer also to page 26.
To open from inside the vehicle
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 stationary.
To close
The handle recess in the interior trim panel
of the luggage compartment lid makes it
easier to pull the lid down.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage compart-
ment lid is clear when it is closed, following
the same precautions as with all closing
procedures.<
Operate the vehicle only when the
luggage compartment lid is closed,
since exhaust fumes could penetrate into
the interior of the vehicle. Should it be
absolutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open and
with the convertible top closed:
>Close all windows
>Increase the air supply from the air con-
ditioner or automatic climate control to
a high level. Refer to page 58 or 61.<
