Folding up of the key – Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.The turn signal lights flash twice as
confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again auto
matically if you unlock the vehicle using
button but do not open a door or the
boot lid within the next 30 seconds. This
function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. In addition, when the car is unlocked, the
power seats and exterior mirrors* move
into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved. When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights and the lights of the entry area are automatically switched
on or off via the door contact.
Display of the locking The turn signal lights flash once to co
nfirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked. If the doors or the boot lid remain open
after the vehicle has been locked, the turn
signal lights do not flash unt
il they have been closed.
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!
Note
•
Operate the radio remote control only wh
en the doors and boot lid are closed
and you have visual contact with the vehicle.•
Once in the car, you must not press the lock button
of the radio remote
control before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvertently locked and, in addition, th
e anti-theft alarm system* being switched
on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
of the radio remote control.
•
The automatic raising of the small boot
lid can be impaired at temperatures
below +4°C.Synchonisation of the remote controlIf the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuatin
g 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 buttons 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.
•
Pressing of the button means that the d
oor will unlock with the key within 1
minute
⇒page 47, “Emergency unlocking and locking of the driver's door”.
Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle. How is the alarm system activated? The anti-theft alarm system is activated wh
en the vehicle is locked with the key in
the driver's door or by us
ing the radio remote control
⇒page 47, “Emergency
unlocking and locking of the driver's door
”. The door contact monitoring is acti-
vated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protection monitoring are activated appr
ox. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is opened
during activation, the monitoring is
only activated 5 se
conds after closing.

Technical Data
Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combin
ation of an automatic heating,
fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occupants of the car.The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which eliminates the need to alte
r the settings manually. The
automatic mode
⇒ page 110 ensures maximum wellbeing of th
e occupants at all times of the year.
Description of Climatronic system The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above approx. +2°C,
•
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a hi
gh coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine. Recommended setting for al
l periods of the year:
•
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
•
Press the button
⇒fig. 128
.
•
Move the air outlet vents
2 and
3 so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off* On vehicles fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with solar cells* the fresh air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun rays are sufficient after switching off the ignition. The solar
cells on the sliding/tilting roof deliver
power for the fresh air blower
. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents
2 and
3 must be opened
⇒ page 105, fig. 125
.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Note
On vehicles equipped with a
factory-fitted radio* or navi
gation*, the information of
the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can be switched off, see operating instructions of the ra
dio* or the navigation system*.

If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the Climatronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the Climatronic. When pressing again the button , th
e Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower spee
d. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air condi- tioning system is reduced particularly
if the vehicle is
fully occupied.
By pressing again the button , yo
u change into the “HIGH” mode.
The automatic mode is switched off by pres
sing the button for the air distribution
or increasing or decreasing the blower
speed. The temperature is nevertheless
regulated.switching cooling on and offswitching cooling on and off – Press the button . The warning light lights up in the button. – When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched

Setting temperatureYou can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side sepa-rately. – You can set the temperature for both sides after switching on the igni-
tion with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control
dial . The warning light in the button lights up, this indicates that differing temperatures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button lights up, the temperature for both sides cannot be set with the control dial . You ca
n reinitiate this function by pressing
