WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible
to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it
more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!

If the vehicle cannot be unlock ed by actuating the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the butt ons on the radio-operated key are actu-
ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the
battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
•Press any button on the remote control.
•after pressing the button, the door must be unlocked using the key within 1
minute ⇒ page 40, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”.

with the key in the driver's door or by using the radio remote control ⇒page 40,
“Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”. The door contact moni-
toring is activated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing
