Volumetric sensor
This is a surveillance function or a control incorporated in the anti-
theft alarm system which detects through ultrasound unauthorized
access to the vehicle interior (i.e. through a window). This system
has two sensors: a transmitter and a receiver.

The volumetricsensor is switched on automatically when the anti-
theft alarm is activated whether by locking manually with the key
or by remote control.

• A warning lamp in the driver’s door will flash if the alarm has been
triggered by the volumetricsensor. This flashing is different from that of the
activated alarm.
• If the volumetricsensor has caused the alarm to set off three times the
alarm system will no longer go off.
• Other sensors (door opening, luggage compartment, etc.) will continue to
set off the alarm.

Locking and unlocking the vehicle
You can use the remote control to carry out the following
operations without having to use the key:
– Opening and closing the central locking.
– Switching the anti-theft alarm* and the safety locking system on
and off.
– Individual opening* of just the driver’s door.
– Connecting and diconnecting the inside light
⇒"Doors, central
locking" chapter.
The radio wave emitter with batteries is incorporated into the grip
of the car key. The receiver is in the cabin.

Synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be opened by pressing the radio transmitter
button, it could be that the code of the key no longer matches that
of the control unit in the vehicle. This can occur if the transmitter
button is frequently pressed outside the effective range of the
system.
The infrared key must be resynchronized. The synchronization
process must be completed with 1 1 mmi
in
nu
ut
te
e
.
The necessary steps for the programming of the key are:
1. Insert key into driver’s door lock and turn three times forwards
(unlock), before 5 seconds have elapsed (maximum). Each time
hold it for 1/2 second in the unlock position. Remove key. The
warning lamp in the inner driver’s door cover will flash to show that
the operation has been properly completed.
2. Press and hold “close” button
⇒ fig. 68, arrow 2.
3. Press “open” button
⇒ fig. 68, arrow 13 times. Release
“close” button. The key has now been recoded. To check the
system, the warning lamp in the door trim will flash, and the light
in the key will flash 5 times.
If any further infrared keys are being used, they must also be
synchronised. To do this, steps 2 to 4 of the synchronisation
procedure must be carried out. This procedure must not last any
longer than 15 seconds for each key and must be carried out
immediately after the synchronisation of the previous key.

Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
When the hazard warning lamps are switched on, all four signal
lights flash simultaneously. The warning lamps for the indicators
and a warning lamp in the switch will also flash.
Note legal requirements when employing such safety measures.
K
Parking distance control (PDC)*6
This system helps prevent small bumps which may occur while
parking, especially in city traffic when parking between other cars.
If the appropriate switch (PDC) in the centre console is pressed, the
sensors in the vehicle’s bumper warn the driver of the proximity of
objects with an intermittent beep and a warning lamp. This
warning occurs when the distance between vehicle and obstacle is
40cm. The beep speeds up until it becomes continuous, when the
distance is approximately 20cm.
