certain functions directly with brief com-
mands, refer to page29, without having to
open an equipment level.
For example, if you want to dial a phone
number, you do not have to say

Key/remote control
1Remote controls with integrated key.
They specify the functions of the Key
Memory. Individual functions of your
vehicle may behave differently depend-
ing on the remote control used.
To differentiate, you can mark the
remote controls using the color-coded
decals you received on taking delivery
of the vehicle
There is an extended-life battery
in every remote control which is
charged automatically in the ignition
lock as you drive.
If you have any remote control units that
are not being used on a regular basis,
you should therefore remember to
recharge these units by using them to
drive the vehicle for an extended period
at least once every six months, also
refer to page 36.
With Comfort Access, there is a battery
in every remote control. For instructions
on changing batteries, refer to
page37.<
2Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for constant use 3Adapter for spare key
The adapter can be used to store the
spare key. It can be stored in the place
provided within the luggage compart-
ment lid-mounted onboard tool kit to
ensure that it will always be available,
refer to page201. You can find more
detailed information on using the
adapter in the section Using the spare
key adapter
Removing key from remote control
Press button1 to release the key.
You can use the integrated key to unlock
and lock the following:
>The storage compartment under the
front armrest
>The driver's door
>The luggage compartment lid.
Within the storage compartment you will
also find the switch for locking the luggage
compartment separately, refer to page40.
If you lock the storage compartment and
only turn over the remote control, no
access is possible via the luggage com-
partment lid. This is an advantage in a
hotel, for example.

Using the spare key adapter
You will need the adapter to activate the
ignition and to start the vehicle with the
spare key.
Press lock button1, slide up the cover and
insert the spare key2 in the adapter. Close
the cover and insert the adapter in the igni-
tion lock.
Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
>with Comfort Access via the door
handle
and from inside via the button for the cen-
tral locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked. Refer to
page38.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/disarmed at the
same time.In an accident, the central locking system
automatically unlocks the vehicle. In addi-
tion, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps switch on.
Opening and closing:
from outside
Using remote control
When you engage/release the vehicle's
locks, you simultaneously activate/deacti-
vate the anti-theft system, arm/disarm the
alarm system
and switch the interior lamps
on/off.
In addition, the remote control offers you
another function:
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<
Protect remote control against unau-
thorized use, e.g. by handing over
only the remote control without an inte-
grated key when leaving the vehicle for
valet parking etc., refer to page34.<
For additional details on alarm system,
refer to page42.
