Displaying an error
If the indicator light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.WARNING■ If the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or open
a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers
to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.
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 vehi- cle.■
Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 32. The other doors and the tailgate can be emer-
gency locked or emergency released. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 194.

Vehicle keyFig. 11
Key: without/with remote control
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings
on page 31.
Two keys are provided with the vehicle » Fig. 11.
Keys without remote control
Keys with remote control (remote control keys)
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range ofthe remote control can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The remote control key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking
and locking the car manually and also for starting the engine.
The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after repair or replace-
ment of the receiver unit. Only then can the remote control key be used again.
WARNING■ Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
Otherwise, children might 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 unintentionally –
risk of accident!
CAUTION■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away » page 193.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, which will be able to provide
you with a new one.

Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
36
Interior monitor and towing protection
36
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against vehicle break-ins. If an attempt is made to break into the vehicle, the system triggers au-
dible and visual warning signals (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
An alarm is triggered when the following monitored areas of the vehicle have afault.
› Bonnet.
› Boot lid.
› Doors.
› Ignition lock.
› Vehicle inclination
» page 36.
› Interior of car
» page 36.
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 124, Driving with a trailer .
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the alarm system is activated.
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the doors and windows are closed in order
to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
Activating/deactivating
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 36.
Activating
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked.
If the vehicle is unlocked and a door or the boot lid not opened within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safe securing system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched back on. This function is intended to
prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Deactivating
The alarm system is deactivated automatically after the vehicle is unlocked. If the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds, the alarm system is automatically activa-ted again.
Note
If the vehicle is unlocked by inserting the key into the driver door, the key must
be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on within 15 seconds
of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system.
Interior monitor and towing protection
Fig. 17
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 36.
The interior monitor detects movements inside the car or the inclination of the vehicle, and then triggers the alarm.
