26WARNING

If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body inju-
ries or major vehicle damage.

The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accident s and fire when working in the engine compartment,
e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is also essential to
observe all warnings page 148.
Note


symbols shown in the following functional description are to be found as indicator
lights in the instrument cluster.

Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 -
danger) or yellow symbol s (priority 2 - warning).
Turn signal system

Either the left
 or right
 indicator light flashes depending on the position of the turn
signal lever.
The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a turn signal light fails. This does
not apply when towing a trailer.
Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the turn
signal lights as well as both indicator lights to flash.
Further information about the turn signal system page 49.
Turn signal system for vehicles towing a trailer

Technical Data
Remote control*DescriptionThe vehicle can be unlocked and lock ed using the radio remote control.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporat ed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control
key is approx. 10 m. But this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit which 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 receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed,
it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it
possible to again use the remote control.
Note

The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.

The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to th e 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.
Unlocking and locking car
Unlocking the vehicle

– Press button for about 1 second.Locking the vehicle

– Press button for about 1 second.Deactivating safe securing system– Press button twice in 2 seconds. Further information page 36.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 confir mation that the vehicle has been unlocked.
The vehicle will lock again automatically if you unlock the vehicle using button but
do not open a door or the boot lid within th e 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, deacti-
vated during these 30 seconds.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the electrically 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 confir m that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the turn signal lights do not flash, ch eck the doors, bonnet and boot lid again to
ensure that they are closed. If the 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 auto-
matically switched on or off.

Unlocking and locking
40WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside 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 th e vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note

Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed and
you have visual contact 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 inadvert-
ently locked and the alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press the
unlock button
 of the radio remote control.
Synchronisation 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 co ntrol unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the butt ons 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 d oor will unlock with the key within 1
minute.
Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the leve l of protection against people seeking to
break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning signals if an
attempt is made to break into the vehicle. Optical and acoustic signals alert if an alarm
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 au tomatically when the vehicle is locked with
the key on the driver's door or by using th e 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 anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the ke y into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and sw itch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
unlocking the door in order to deactivate 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 disconnected
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 36.
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 monitored
under certain circumstances.
