Door locks – from outsideUsing the remote control The remote control makes opening and
locking the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore, it provides
two additional functions that can only
be executed by means of the remote
control:
>To switch on interior lamps
With this function, you can also
"search for" your vehicle, when
parked in an underground garage,
for instance.
>To open luggage compartment
The luggage compartment lid will
open slightly, regardless of whether
the lid was previously locked or un-
locked.
The anti-theft system is also deacti-
vated/activated simultaneously with
the unlocking or locking of the vehicle,
and the alarm system
* is disarmed/
armed, and the interior lamps are
turned on/off.
You can have a confirmation mes-
sage set to inform you that the car
has been properly locked.<
Master keysKeys with a transmitter for remote con-
trol are master keys. Refer to page 32.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this rea-
son, always take the vehicle keys with
you so that the vehicle can be opened
again from the outside at any time.<463de024
Transmitters that are in regular use
will always be operational, as the
rechargeable battery in the transmitter
is automatically recharged in the ignition
lock while the car is being driven.
If it should prove impossible to lock the
car with a particular transmitter via the
remote control, the battery is in need of
recharging. Use this transmitter for a
lengthy journey, to recharge its battery.
Also see page 32.<

automatically:
>if the brakes are applied
>if the clutch is depressed or the auto-
matic transmission selector lever is
moved from "Drive" to "Neutral"

or not met for an extended length of
time, e. g., when you step on the
accelerator pedal.

Ski bag
*
The ski bag allows the safe and clean
transport of four pairs of skis or two
snowboards.
The length of the ski bag and the addi-
tional space provided in the luggage
compartment make it possible to carry
skis with a length of up to 6.8 feet
(2.1 meters). The ski bag can only
accommodate two pairs of skis with a
length of 6.8 feet (2.1 meters), because
of the tapered shape of the bag.

tener and place it on the armrest

the cover forward
3 Press knob 2: The cover in the lug-

nient access to the stored items, and
can also be left open to promote dry-
ing.394de119

the bag by tightening the strap at
the buckle.<
Please ensure that the skis are clean
