Vehicle key
Fig. 8
Key: without/with remote control
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 28.
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi-
cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control » Fig. 8 -
or with
radio remote control » Fig. 8 -
.
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.
The children might 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 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 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 if the central locking does react to the remote
control at less than around 3 metres away » page 29.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.

When using central locking or unlocking, all doors are locked or unlocked simulta-
neously. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It can be opened by pressing the
handle above the licence plate » page 37, Opening/closing .
Warning light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system » page 32 is not operating,
the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and
starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first flashes fast for about 2 seconds, then lights up for about
30 seconds continuously and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the central
locking system or in the interior monitor and in the towing protection » page 36.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Convenience operation of windows
The windows can be opened and closed when unlocking and locking the vehi-
cle » page 40 .
WARNING■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.■
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. Chil-
dren should never be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to pro-
vide assistance from the outside when the doors are locked. Doors locked
from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emer-
gency – risk to life!
31Unlocking and locking
Page 35 of 219
CAUTIONIf the safe securing system is activated» page 32, the door opening lever and
the central locking buttons do not operate.
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 locked or unlocked with the key if the central lock-
ing system fails. The other doors and the tailgate can be locked or unlocked man-
ually. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 31.
■ Emergency unlocking of the boot lid » page 38.
Individual settings
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 31.
Opening a single door
This selection function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The oth-
er doors remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a
speed of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. In addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the car by press-
ing the central locking button
» page 33 .
The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by pulling on the opening lever of the respective door. By the first pull on the opening lever, the door is un-
locked . By the second pull on the opening lever, the door is opened.
Note
Individual settings can be applied in a specialist workshop.
Safe securing
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 31.
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors withthe door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30 seconds.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the door can
be unlocked and opened from the inside by pulling on the opening lever of the respective door. By the first pull on the opening lever, the door is unlocked. By
the second pull on the opening lever, the door is opened.
WARNINGIf 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 no longer pos-
sible 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 –
risk to life!
Note
■ The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked even if the
safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not activa- ted.■
You will be informed that the safe securing system is activated after the vehicle
is locked by the CHECK DEADLOCK message on the instrument cluster display. On
vehicles equipped with the MAXI DOT display, the display shows Check deadlock.

You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlocking boot lid;
› open and close the windows
» page 40, Window convenience operation .
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 of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The 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 replaced, the
system must be initialised by a specialist garage. Only then can the remote con-
trol key be used again.
Note■ The remote control is automatically deactivated 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 if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away » page 29.
■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.
