Keys Central locking system The key set1 The master keys with remote control
determine the functions of the Key
Memory, refer to page 61.
You can mark individual keys for
subsequent identification by applying
the colored decals that you received
when accepting delivery of your
vehicle.
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key which is
charged automatically in the ignition
lock as you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master
key that is otherwise not used, use that
key approx. once every year while
driving for an extended period. This will
charge the battery, refer also to
page 32.< 463de023
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for continuous use
3 Door and ignition key
The lock for the glove compartment
cannot be operated with this key.
This is recommended for valet
parking, for instance.
The concept The central locking system is ready for
operation as soon as you close the front
doors. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
>doors
>liftgate/tailgate
>fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
>from outside via the driver's door lock
as well as via the remote control
>from inside via the button for the
central locking system.
If the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer
to page 35.
When the system is actuated from
outside of the vehicle, the anti-theft
system is actuated simultaneously. The
alarm system is also armed or
disarmed.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically
(only those doors which were not
locked separately with the safety lock
buttons), refer to page 35. In addition,
the hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.

Opening and closing Ð from the insideYou can operate the central locking
system with this button when the
driver's door is closed. The doors and
liftgate are unlocked or locked only.
However, the anti-theft system is not
activated. Also, the fuel Þller door
remains unlocked to allow refueling.
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button
>all other doors, the tailgate/liftgate
and the fuel filler door will be
unlocked when the driver's door is
opened
>the driver's door will be locked again
when it is closed.< 530de220
To unlock and open the doors >Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking
system and then pull the door handle
above the armrest
or
>pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
To engage the locks >Use the central locking button to lock
all of the doors simultaneously,
or
>press down the individual safety lock
buttons. The fuel filler door remains
unlocked. As an added design
feature to prevent the driver from
being inadvertently locked out of the
vehicle, the driver's safety lock
button will not engage as long as the
door is open.
When the vehicle is moving, do
not lock the doors with the safety
lock buttons. Doors locked in this
manner would not unlock automatically
in the event of an accident.
Since passengers or animals remaining
in the vehicle might be able to lock the
doors from the inside, take the vehicle's
keys with you so that the vehicle can be
opened again from the outside at any
time.<
