Technical Data
Unlocking and lockingKeyTwo keys are provided with the vehicle. 
Depending on the equi
pment, your vehicle  
can be equipped with keys  
without radio remote control 
⇒fig. 32
 or with radio  
remote control*  
⇒fig. 33
. 
Key ring A plastic tag  
⇒fig. 32
 is attached to one of the keys with the identification of the key.  
This identification can be  
used to order replacement keys from specialist garages. 
Carefully  
store
 the 
key ring
 on which there is the number, because a replacement  
key can only be ordered with this number  
in case the key is lost or damaged. You  
should also therefore hand over this ke 
y 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 mois- 
ture and severe shocks.•
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust  
etc.) have a negative effect on the proper operation of the locking cylinder and the  ignition lock.
Note
Please approach a specialist garage if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one for you.

Changing the battery of the radio remote controlEach remote control key contains a battery 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 i
mmobiliser 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.

Central 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 makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors  remain locked and are only unlock 
ed 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 m ore 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. If you lock the vehicle with a key or a remo 
te control key, you can deactivate the safe  
securing system by locking  
two times 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.

.
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 li
d, 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 specia 
list garage to adapt 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 specialist garage, if the central locking  
or anti-theft alarm system does react to  
the remote control at less than 3 metres  
away.

– Press button   for about 1 second.Deactivating safe securing system – Press button   twice in 2 seconds. Further information  
⇒
page 38. 
Folding out of the key – Press button  . Folding up of the key – Press button   and collapse the key bit in the housing.The turn signal lights flash twice as  
confirmation that the vehicle has been  
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again auto 
matically if you unlock the vehicle using  
button   but do not open a door or the  
boot lid within the next 30 seconds. This  
function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. 
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system are, however,  deactivated during these 30 seconds. In addition, when the car is unlocked, the el 
ectrically adjustable seats and exterior  
mirrors* move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved. The turn signal lights flash once to co 
nfirm that the vehicle has been correctly  
locked. If the turn signal lights do not fl 
ash, check the doors, bonnet and boot lid  
again to ensure that they are closed. If th 
e doors, the bonnet or the boot lid remain  
open when the anti-theft alarm system is activated, the turn signal lights do not  flash until after they have been closed. When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the  
interior lights in the door contact are  
automatically switched on or off.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outsid 
e and the safe securing system is acti- 
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it  more difficult for rescuers to get into 
 the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note
•
Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed  
and you have visual co 
ntact with the vehicle.
•
Once in the car, you must 
not press the lock button 
 of the radio remote  
control before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvertently locked and the alarm syst 
em* being switched on. Should this  
happen, press the unlock button 
 of the radio remote control.
Synchonisation of the remote controlIf the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuatin 
g the remote control system then it is  
possible that the code in the key and the  
control unit in the vehicle are no longer  
synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are actu-

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 th
e 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 locking 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 agai
n 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  
vehicle with the radio remote control 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 receiver unit 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.

mote control key from a specialist garage  
and then assign the remote control key 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.•

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.•

however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.Retrieving seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward You can retrieve the stored settings
