Unlocking and lockingKeyDescriptionThe vehicle is supplied with two keys without remote control ⇒fig. 31 or with two
keys with remote control* ⇒fig. 32. The keys fit in all vehicle locks.
Key ring
The key ring only has the key number on it which is essential for producing other
keys. This number can be used to order replacement keys from specialist garages.The key ring with the number should be separately and securely kept in safe
keeping since keys can only be replaced if they are lost or damaged by giving this
number. You should also therefore hand over this key ring to the purchaser when
selling the vehicle.
WARNING
•
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is
only for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the
vehicle. The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
•
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintention-
ally - risk of accident!Caution
•
Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against mois-
ture and severe shocks.
•
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on the proper operation of the locking cylinder and the
ignition lock.Note
Please approach a specialist garage if you lose a key since he can obtain a new one
for you.

are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain
access to the vehicle.

doors and the boot lid are locked. Children should never be left unattended
in the vehicle since it is difficult to provide assistance from the outside when
the doors are locked. Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to get into
the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!

process is stopped and the window goes down by several centimeters. You
should then take particular care when closing the windows! You may other-
wise suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed
in the window!
•
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power
windows in the rear doors (safety pushbutton) ⇒page 49, fig. 43 when
children are being transported on the rear seats.
•

well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is more at
certain speeds.
