1. Blower
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the
indicator light in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off. The display shows the
blower symbol and OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is
activated. Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more quickly in
very warm weather. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation

Unlocking the vehicle
1. A keyless drive remote control must be on the same side of the vehicle as the door to be opened, and be within 5
feet (1.5 meters) of the lock or the trunk opening control (see the shaded areas in the illustration).
2. Pull a door handle to unlock and open the door or press the trunk opening control on the trunk lid.
Locking the vehicle
The doors and the trunk can be locked by pressing the lock button in any of the outside door handles.
NOTE
If one or more doors and/or the trunk is not fully closed when the lock button is pressed, the door(s) or trunk will not
be locked.
Locking or unlocking the vehicle with the key blade
The driver's door on vehicles equipped with keyless drive can be locked or unlocked with the remote control's
detachable key blade if necessary. See page 109
for information on removing the key blade from the remote control.
To access the keyhole in the driver's door:
113 05 Locks and alarm
Keyless drive (option as available)
1. Pry off the keyhole cover by inserting the key blade or a small screwdriver in the hole on the underside of the cover
(indicated by the arrow in the inset illustration in page above).
2. Insert the key blade as far as possible in the driver's door lock. Turn the key blade clockwise approximately one
quarter turn to unlock the driver's door only. This will trigger the alarm.
Disabling the alarm : Press the Unlock button on the keyless drive remote control. If the batteries in the remote are
weak, remove the keyless drive start control from the ignition switch by pressing the catch (see the illustration on page
131) and pulling the control out of the ignition switch. Insert the ignition key section of a keyless drive remote control
in the ignition switch.
Keyless drive remote control and driver's seat memory
This function is only available on vehicles equipped with the optional power driver's seat.
When you leave the car with a keyless drive remote control in your possession and lock any door, the position of
the driver's seat will be stored in the seat's memory.
The next time a door is opened by a person with the same remote control in his/her possession, the driver's seat will
automatically move to the position that it was in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive remote controls approach the vehicle at the same time, the driver's seat will
assume the position it was in for the person who opens a door first.
Keyless drive information messages
If anyone leaves the vehicle with the only keyless drive remote control in his or her possession while the ignition is
switched on, a message will be shown in the information display and an audible signal will sound.
