with remote control. Each key contains an
emergency key element.
The key is configured at the factory to cen-
trally lock and unlock the following:
R the doors

R the fuel filler flap G
Risk of accident
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. They could open a door from the
inside, even if it has been locked, or start
the vehicle if the key is left in it. They could
endanger themselves and others. You
should therefore take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even if you are
only leaving it for a short time.1 j Locking button

can close them using the convenience clos-
ing feature ( Y page 100). Factory settings

computer.
i If you do not open either a door or the
boot lid after you have unlocked the vehi-
cle, it will automatically relock after approx-
imately 40 seconds.
X To lock centrally: press the j button.

doors and boot lid are closed. The locking
knobs in the doors drop down. The anti-
theft alarm system* and the immobiliser
are primed.

system in such a way that pressing the
k button only unlocks the driver's door
and the fuel filler flap. This is useful if you fre-
quently travel on your own.

Y page 73). Opening the doors from the inside
You can open a door from the inside at any
time, even if it has been locked. 1

2 Door handle
X Pull door handle 2.
If the door is locked, locking knob 1 pops
up. The door is unlocked and can be
opened.
i When a door is opened, the side window
on that side opens slightly. When the door
is closed, the side window closes again.
! The side windows will not open or close
if the battery is discharged or if the side
windows have iced up. It will not be possi- ble to close the door. Do not attempt to
force the door closed. You could otherwise
damage the door or the window. Automatic locking feature
The vehicle will lock automatically once you
have pulled away.
You can switch off the automatic locking
function via the on-board computer
(Y page 127).
i The vehicle is locked automatically when
the ignition is switched on and the wheels
begin to turn. There is therefore a risk of
being locked out when the vehicle is being
pushed or tested on a dynamometer. Controls
