Locking the doors prevents
involuntary opening in an exceptional situation (an
accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted
entry into the vehicle from outside,
for example at road crossings. Locked do
ors do, however, make it more difficult
for rescuers to get into the vehicle
in an emergency - danger to life!

In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors are
automatically unlocked in order to enable
rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.

Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central locking
system fails. You can lock or unlock ma
nually the other doors and the boot lid.
− Emergency locking of the door

safe securing
6) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes
the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door ha
ndle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as
an effective deterrent for attemp
ts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing sy
stem by locking twice within 2°seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash slowly again after about 30°seconds. The safe securing system is again activate
d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again. If the vehicle is locked and the safe securi
ng system is deactiva
ted, you can open the
vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever. The door is unlocked and opened at the same time.6)Only valid for some countries.WARNING (continued)

Remote control*DescriptionYou can use the remote control:•
to unlock and lock the car,
•
unlocking boot lid,
•
electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporated in the handle of the remote control key. The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control is approx. 10 m. But this range of
the remote control can be reduced if the
batteries are weak. The remote control key has a fold-open key
bit which can be used
for unlocking and
locking the car manually and also for starting the engine. If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed, it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•
The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
•
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to th
e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).•
The battery must be replaced, ideally by a specialist garage, if the central locking or
anti-theft alarm system does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away.•
If the driver door is opened, the vehi
cle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
