Spare keys cannot be issued without the key number on the plastic key tab.
Therefore:•
Always keep the key tab in a safe place.
•
Never leave the key tab in the vehicle.
•
If you sell the vehicle, please give the plastic key tab to the new owner.
Replacing a key
If you lose a key, please contact the Technical Service. Have the remote
control coding for that key disabled. You should therefore bring the plastic
key tab and all available keys with you. It is also important to notify your
insurance company if a key or the plastic key tab has been lost.
WARNING
•
Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you only
intend to be gone for a short time. This is particularly important if there are
children in the car, as they might otherwise be able to start the engine or
use power-operated equipment (e.g. the electric windows), which could
lead to injuries.
•
Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the ignition
key from the lock! Otherwise, the steering lock could engage suddenly,
causing an accident.

tored by the indicator light.Condition of the key battery
The indicator light ⇒fig. 67 (arrow) flashes when one of the buttons is
pressed. If the indicator light does not light up or flash, this means that the
battery is exhausted and must be replaced.
Replacing the batteries ⇒ page 95.

ised persons from starting up the vehicle.There is an electronic chip inside th e key which automatically deactivates the
immobiliser when the key is inserted into the ignition lock. The electronic
immobiliser is enabled automatically when the ignition key is removed from
the ignition lock after coming to a stop.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display.

Unlocking and locking
96Central lockingDescription
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all
the doors, the boot lid and the tank flap together.The central locking system on your vehicle locks and unlocks all the doors
and the tank flap simultaneously. The tailgate is unlocked when the vehicle
is opened. However, the handle must be used to open it. The vehicle can be
locked and unlocked using the remote control ⇒page 102 or by turning the
key in the lock in the driver's door.
The windows can also be centrally opened or closed using the central locking
system ⇒page 107. The sun roof* can be closed but not opened using the
central locking system.
The central locking system is combined with an anti-theft security system. If
the vehicle is locked with the key from the outside, the interior opening levers
stop working, which make it difficult fo r unauthorised people to get into the
vehicle.
Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still normally enable
all the locks individually. The fuel tank flap can be released manually if neces-
sary. For manual release of the tank flap ⇒page 209.
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)*
The Auto Lock* function locks the doors and the boot lid when the vehicle
exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again automatically when the ignition key is
removed. Alternatively, the driver can also unlock the vehicle using the
central locking switch
 or by opening one of the doors.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) inside the car if it is locked from
the outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors and
windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Note
•
Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still lock and
unlock the driver's door and the tailgate using the key. For manual release of
the tank flap ⇒page 209. Locking the doors manually if central locking fails
to work ⇒page 99.
•
The anti-theft mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* cannot be enabled if
the central locking is not working.
•
Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a locked
vehicle is not a safe.
