Keys Central locking systemThe key set1 Master keys with remote control unit,
determine the functions of the Key
Memory, refer to page 54.
You can mark individual keys for
subsequent identification by applying
the colored decals that you received
when accepting delivery of your
vehicle.
Each master key is equipped with
an extended-life battery. This
battery is recharged in the ignition lock
during normal operation.
For this reason, if you have master keys
that are not being used you should use
those keys approx. once a year while
driving for an extended period to
charge the battery, refer also to
page 29.<
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for constant use
3 Door and ignition key
The lock for the glove compartment
cannot be operated with this key Ð
this is useful for valet parking, for
instance.
The conceptThe central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
>doors
>tailgate and rear window
>fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
>from outside via the remote control
as well as via the driver's door lock
>from inside by pressing a button.
Operating it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door, refer to page 32.
When the system is operated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is acti-
vated simultaneously. Both the door
locks and release handles remain
locked. The alarm system is also armed
or disarmed.
If locked from the inside, the central
locking systems unlocks automatically
in the event of an accident, but only
doors which were not locked separately
with the door lock buttons, refer to
page 32. In addition, the hazard
warning flashers and interior lamps
come on.

Opening and closing Ð from the insideYou can use this button to operate the
central locking system when the front
doors are closed. With this button, only
the doors, the tailgate and rear window
are unlocked or locked. The anti-theft
system is not activated.
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the passenger-
side door, the tailgate and the fuel filler
door will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.<
The central locking system can be
locked automatically as soon as
you begin to drive if you desire. This
can be adjusted to be key-specific.<
To unlock and open the doors>Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking
system and then pull each of the
release handles above the armrests
or
>pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
To lock the doors>Either use the central locking button
to lock all doors at once
or
>press the individual door lock buttons
down. To prevent the driver from
being inadvertently locked out of the
vehicle, the driver's door lock button
will not engage as long as the door is
open.
Since children might be able to
lock the doors from the inside,
always take the vehicle's keys with you
so that you can open the vehicle again
from the outside at any time.<
