Indicator light in the driv

After locking the vehicle the indicator light fl
ashes for 2 seconds fast, then more slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system
⇒page 41 is not operating, the
indicator light in the driver door flashes for
about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to
flash slowly after about 30 seconds. If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of the central locking or the interior monitor*
⇒page 47. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assist-
ance. Convenience operation of windows One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and locking the vehicle
⇒page 49.
Opening a single door* This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors and the fuel filler flap* remain locked and ar
e only unlocked after repetitive unlocking.
If you wish, you can have a sp
ecialist garage activate the function of the single door
opening mode or you can activate it yourself
in the menu of the information display*
⇒ page 24. Automatic locking* All the doors and the boot lid are locked au
tomatically 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about 15 km/h. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is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 addi-
tion, it is possible for the driver to unlock
the car by pressing the central locking button
 ⇒page 40 or by pulling the door opening lever.
If you wish, you can have a sp
ecialist garage activate the function of the single door
opening mode or you can activate it yourself

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)

ide assistance from the outside when the
doors are locked. Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note
The door opening lever and the buttons for
the central locking system do not operate
if the safe securing system is activated.Emergency locking of the doorsAll the other doors without locking cylinder
have an emergency locking which is only

Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:•
to unlock and lock the car,
•
unlocking boot lid,
•
electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporated in the handle of the remote control key. The receiver is located in the interior of the 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 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. 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.•
If the driver door is opened, the vehi
cle cannot be locked using the remote
control.

Note
•
The working life of the alarm siren is 6 years. More detailed information is available
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.•

You can switch the interior monitor and th
e towing protection monitoring off if
there is a possibility that movements from (e.g. children or animals) inside the vehicle interior or if the vehicle must be transpor
ted (e.g. by train or ship) or towed, might
trigger the alarm.•
The opened storage compartment for spectacles reduces the effectiveness of the
interior monitor. In order to ensure the func

It reduces the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows. If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centimeters. If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds, the closing process is interrupted once agai
n and the window goes down by several
centimeters.
You must try to close the window once ag
ain within 10 seconds after the window has
gone down twice, even if the obstacle wa
s not yet removed, the closing process is

right-hand steering
the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in

. The symbols which mark the switch positions are iden-
tical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you wi
thdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the driver's
door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle
can be parked with
the side lights on.
•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period,
we recommend switching off all lights, or
leaving only the parking lights switched on.•
The switching on of the described lights
should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.•
If a fault occurs in the light switch
, the low beam comes on automatically.
•
In the event of cool or humid weather cond
itions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on,
the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens
es can possibly mist up at the border
areas. − It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. − This mist has no influence on th
e life of the lighting system.
Daylight driving lightsIn some countries, the na
tional legal provisions require that the vehicles are equipped
with the function daylight driving lights.
