RefuelingFuel filler door
Always switch off the engine
before refueling, as it is not possi-
ble to add fuel with the engine running,
and attempts may also trigger the
SERVICE ENGINE SOON lamp.<
Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler
door to open and close it.
If an electrical malfunction occurs, you
can unlock the fuel filler door manually:
Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol
on the right trim panel of the luggage
compartment.
When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau-
tions posted at the service station.
Never carry spare fuel containers in
your vehicle. Whether empty or full,
these containers can leak, cause an
explosion, or lead to fire in the event of
a collision.<
Please observe while refuelling
Open the gas cap carefully to pre-
vent fuel from spraying out. Fuel
spray may cause injury.<
Place the gas cap in the bracket
attached to the fuel filler door.
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Lifting the
nozzle during refueling
>results in premature pump shutoff
>and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.
The fuel tank is full when the filler noz-
zle shuts off the first time.

28Opening and closing
KeysThe key set1Each master key with remote control
is powered by an extended-life bat-
tery that is charged automatically in
the ignition lock as you drive. For this
reason, user every master key at
least twice a year to keep its battery
charged. Depending on which master
key is recognized when the vehicle is
unlocked, different settings are called
up and carried out in the vehicle,
refer to Vehicle Memory, Key Memory
on page 59.
2Replacement key for storage in a safe
place, e.g. your wallet.
This key cannot be used to open the
locks for the luggage compartment
lid or the glove compartment. This
can be advantageous for valet park-
ing, for example. The key is not
intended for constant use.
Central locking systemThe conceptThe central locking system engages
and releases the locks on the:
>doors
>luggage compartment lid
>fuel filler door.
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed.
The central locking system can be
operated
>from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
>from inside via the central locking
system button.
If it is operated from inside, the fuel
filler door will not be locked, refer to
page 33.
When the system is actuated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is also
activated. This prevents the doors from
being unlocked via the lock buttons or
the release handle. The alarm system is
also activated or deactivated.
In the event of a sufficiently severe
accident, the central locking system
unlocks automatically. In addition, the
hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.
