Technical Data
Unlocking and lockingKeyThe vehicle is supplied with two keys. Depending on the equipment, your vehicle
can be equipped with keys without radio remote control ⇒fig. 32 or with radio
remote control* ⇒fig. 33 .
Key ring
The key ring ⇒fig. 32 only has the key number on it which is essential for producing
other keys. This number can be used to order replacement keys from specialist
garages. The
key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in safe
keeping since keys can only be replaced if th ey are lost or damaged by giving this
number. You should also therefore give this key ring to the purchaser when selling
the vehicle.
WARNING
•
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the ve hicle - even if it is
only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the
vehicle. The children migh t otherwise start the engine or operate electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
•
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintention-
ally - risk of accident!Caution
•
Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against
moisture and severe shocks.
•
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on proper op eration of the keys and the ignition lock.Note
Please approach a specialist garage if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one
for you.

36Changing the battery of the radio remote controlEach radio-operated key contains a ba ttery which is housed in the cover
of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 34 . We recommend having the
battery of the key replaced by a spec ialist garage. You should, however,
proceed as follows if you wish to replace the battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a thin screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key ⇒fig. 34 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 35 in direction of
arrow. – Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is
facing downwards. The correct polarity is also shown on the cover of
the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing
and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accord ance with environmental regulations.
Note
•
The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original
battery.
•
If it is still not be possib le to unlock or lock the ve hicle with the remote control
even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised
⇒ page 42.
Electronic immobiliserThe electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by
an unauthorised person.An electronic chip is integrated in the he ad of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inser ted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic immobiliser is automatically activa ted when you withdraw the ignition key
from the lock.

Unlocking and locking
38Central locking system*DescriptionUnlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the
same time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It
can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate ⇒page 41, fig. 39 .
Operation of the central locking system is possible:•
from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 39,
•
using the button for the central locking system ⇒page 40,
•
by using the remote control ⇒page 42.
•
with the securing knobs in the doors ⇒page 40, fig. 38 - only for vehicles which
are not fitted with electrically operated power windows (only for locking).
Warning light and securing knobs in the doors
All the securing knob s move upwards when unlocking.
The driver door must be closed when locking. Other doors can also be closed after
locking.
All the securing knobs move downwards when locking. If this is not the case, the
relevant door must be opened once again and properly closed.
The warning light flashes in the driver door, next to the securing knob, to confirm
that the vehicle has been correctly locked. The warning light will not flash if the safe
securing system is deactivated ⇒page 38.
This is not the case, however, for vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system* since the
indicator light is showing that the system is active.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒page 45, “Window convenience operation”.
Opening a single door*
This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors remain
locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. If you wish, you can have a specialist garage
activate the function of the single door
opening mode.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situation
(an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from
outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it
more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger
to life!
Note
•
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
•
Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central
locking system fails. You can lock or unlo ck manually the other doors and the boot
lid.
•
Emergency locking of the door ⇒page 40.
•
After locking the vehicle via the central locking system, optically check if all the
doors have been locked - posi tion of the securing knobs.
Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door lock s to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door ha ndle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the vehicle with
the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.
The warning light in the driver door will not flash if the safe securing system is deac-
tivated.
This is not the case, however, for vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system* since the
indicator light is showing that the system is active.

Boot lidOpen the boot lid by pressing the ha nd grip above the licence plate after
unlocking the vehicle using the key or the radio remote control. On vehi-
cles with central locking*, the boot lid is automatically unlocked and
locked with the other locks.
Opening the boot lid
– Press on the handle ⇒fig. 39 and at the same time raise the boot lid.
Closing the boot lid
– Pull the boot lid down and close it with a slight swing ⇒.A handle which makes the clos ing easier is located on the inner paneling of the
boot lid.
WARNING
•
Ensure that the lock is properly enga ged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly wh en driving even if the boot lid lock
is closed - risk of accident!
•
Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise
exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
•
Do not press on the rear window when closing the boot lid, it could crack
- risk of injury!
Remote control*DescriptionThe vehicle can be unlocked and locked using the radio remote control.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of th e car. The operating range of the remote
control is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control can be reduced if the
batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit whic h can be used for unlocking and locking
the car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiv er unit has been repaired or a new unit
installed, it is then necessary for a specialist garage to initialise the system. Only
after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deac tivated when the ignition is switched
on.
•
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by a secialist garage, if the central locking
or anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres
away.

ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the
battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
•
Press any button on the remote control.
•
pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1
minute.
Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the le vel of protection against people seeking
to break into the vehicle. The system tri ggers audible and visual warning signals if
an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
Optical and acoustic signals alert if an al arm has been triggered (the turn signal
lights flash and the signal horn honks).
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is
activated 30 seconds after closing the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the radio remote control. The vehicle is au tomatically locked again if the vehicle is
not opened within 30 seconds after reac tivating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock an d switch the ignition on within 15 seconds
after unlocking the door in order to deac tivate the anti-theft alarm system. The
alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:•
Bonnet,
•
Boot lid,
•
Doors,
•
Ignition lock,
•
Vehicle interior
4),
•
A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
Deactivation of interior monitor
The process of switching off and switching on the interior monitoring system is the
same as for switching off and switching on the safe securing system ⇒page 38.
This function makes it possible for example to leave animals in the vehicle.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the car with the radio remote control in the
key or if you switch the ignition on.Note
•
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is avail-
able by a specialist garage.
•
Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric
sliding/tilting roof* are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm
system is fully operational.
•
Coding of the radio remote control and the receptor part precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.
4)The alarm will be triggered through movement of occupants within the interior of the vehicle
or an attempt to steal the radio. The rear part of the interior of the vehicle is not fully moni-
tored under certain circumstances.

using the radio remote control, you have to assign the radio remote control to a
memory button in each case.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional key with radio remote control from a
specialist garage and then assign the radio remote control to another memory
button.
Note
•
If the radio remote control had previous ly been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
•
If you assign the radio remote control to a memory button which has already
been assigned to a radio remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by a
new assignment in this case.
•
The assignment of the radio remote control to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
Retrieving seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward
