Technical Data
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the TCS system. The fact that the TCS system operates together with the ABS means that the TCS warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly. If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the TCS system
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the TCS system can be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the TCS system is fully functional again. Further information about the TCS
⇒page 165, “Traction control system (TCS)”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected, the warning light
comes on
after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short distance.Electronic stability programme (ESP)*
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on.
When the ESP helps to stabilise the vehicle (for example when applying and releasing a braking force to an individual wheel), then the warning light
flashes quickly in the
information display. The ESP system cannot be switched off, the
TCS system can only be switched off by
pressing the button

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 do
ors 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 unlock ma
nually the other doors and the boot lid.
− Emergency locking of the door
⇒page 43.
− Emergency unlocking of the boot lid
⇒page 44.
Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a
safe securing
6) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes
the door locks 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 attemp
ts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing sy
stem by locking twice within 2°seconds.
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 slowly again after about 30°seconds. The safe securing system is again activate
d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again. If the vehicle is locked and the safe securi
ng system is deactiva
ted, you can open the
vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever. The door is unlocked and opened at the same time.6)Only valid for some countries.WARNING (continued)

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 buttons on the radio-operated key are actuated 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 level 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. 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 closed driver's door or by us
ing 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 automati
cally locked again if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system. 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
opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The
alarm will be
