Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock  all doors, the fuel filler
flap 1)
 and tailgate 2)
 at the same time.
The safe securing system  » page 35 is integrated in the central locking system.
Once the car is locked from the outside, the door locks 3)
 are automatically blocked
by the safe securing system  »

› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap 1)
 are unlocked.
› The interior light operated via the door contact illuminates.
› The safe securing system is switched off 3)
.
› The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.

› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
Displaying an error
If the warning 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.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must re-
main 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!
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 33. The other doors and the boot lid can be emer-
gency locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door  » page 232.

Key types
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings 
 on page 32.
Explanation of graphic  » 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 wireless key has a flip-out key bit.The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after the receiver unit is
repaired or replaced. 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, the 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 231.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.

An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
The alarm is  switched off  by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors and
the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of the
anti-theft alarm system.

Luggage compartment lid
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Opening/closing
41
Automatic locking
41WARNING■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even it
was locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases may
get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the luggage compartment lid,
it could crack – risk of injury!
CAUTION
If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is automatically
locked right away as soon as it is closed.
Note
The function of the button in the grip above the licence plate is deactivated when
starting off or at a speed of 5 km/hour or more for vehicles with central locking.
The function is restored after the vehicle stops and the door is opened.
40Using the system      
Page 45 of 266

When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter  » page 43. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton) 
S
  » Fig. 21  on page 42 when children are
being transported on the rear seats.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice  » page 191 , Windows and exterior mirrors  and only then operate the electrical
power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power window mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there
to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window  » page 43.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If
this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You
will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection
has cooled down.
