the current legal requirements. This certification forms the basis for official
approval for use in other countries.
Note
•The remote control is automatically disabled when the ignition is
switched on.•The function of the remote control may be impaired by interference from
other nearby radio signals (e.g. from a mobile phone or TV transmitter) if
these are in the same frequency range.Locking and unlocking the vehicleUnlocking the vehicle
– Press button ⇒fig. 77 for about 1 second. Locking the vehicle
– Press button for about 1 second.
Opening the tailgate
– Press button and hold for at least one second.
The turn signals will flash twice as confirmation when you unlock the vehicle.
The vehicle will be locked again automatically if you do not open one of the
doors or the tailgate within 60 seconds after unlocking the vehicle with
button . This function prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the
unlocking button is pressed by mistake.
In vehicles with the
security central locking* feature, you can unlock just the
driver door and the tank flap by pressing button once or the whole vehicle
by pressing the button twice.
The turn signals flash once when the vehicle is locked to confirm that the
doors and tailgate are properly locked.
Moreover, apart from unlocking the vehicle, the seat* and mirror* memory
programmed in the key is activated. The driver seat and exterior mirrors will
be automatically adjusted to the positions stored in the memory.
The interior lights will automatically light up when the vehicle is unlocked and
go out when the vehicle is locked, provided that the switch is in the courtesy
light position.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the vehicle if it is locked from
the outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors and
windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.

Heated mirrors
The mirrors are heated (depending on the outside temperature) when the
heated rear window ⇒
page 126 is switched on.
The exterior mirror heating is not activated in temperatures above approxi-
mately 20°C.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
In vehicles with memory function for the driver seat, the setting of the exterior
mirrors is automatically stored together with the seat position ⇒page 138.
Tilting function for exterior mirror on the passenger side* (only if equipped
with memory for exterior mirrors)
When reverse gear is engaged, the mirror surface tilts slightly downwards,
provided the mirror control is switched to the exterior mirror on the passenger
side (knob in position ⇒ page 132, fig. 104). This provides a better view
of the kerb when parking.
The mirror returns to its original position as soon as reverse gear is disen-
gaged and the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed above 15 km/h, or when
the mirror control is turned to position or to the neutral position .
Caution
•Rear view convex or aspheric* mirrors increase the field of vision,
although objects appear smaller and further away in the mirrors. Therefore,
you should not rely on these mirrors for judging the distance of vehicles
behind.•If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g. when
parking), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the electric control. Do
not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere with the mirror
adjuster function.
Note
If the electrical adjustment ever fails to operate, the mirrors can be adjusted
by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.

and recall up to four different positions for the driver seat and
exterior mirrors.Memory buttons

seat and exterior mirror positions for up to four different drivers.
button
The seat memory will be disabled if the button is in the up position
(press and release). The word
/&& will light up next to the button (only

adjustment. Use of the button is recommended to disable the memory
system when the vehicle is being driven
temporarily by a different driver
whose settings do not need to be stored in the memory.
Note

⇒ page 140.Storing settingsThe button must be in its down position (pressed in) before
you can store the desired settings.

– Press and hold the button. At the same time, press one of the memory buttons for at least a second.
– Release both buttons. The settin g is now stored on the selected
memory button.Any new setting selected automatically cancels the existing setting stored on
the memory button. It is best to begin with memory button No. 1 for the first
driver and then assign the other memory buttons to each subsequent driver.
The seat and mirror positions are stored when the vehicle is locked with the
remote control and are assigned to the remote control key. The exterior
mirrors adjust automatically to the previous position when you unlock the
vehicle; the driver seat adjusts automatically when you open the driver door. However, this does not delete the settings stored in memory buttons 1 to 4.
These settings can be enabled at any time.
Activating settings
Stored settings can be recalled using either the memory
buttons or the remote control (remote control key).Using the memory buttons
– If the driver door is open, press the desired memory button
briefly.
– If the driver door is closed, press and hold down the appropriate memory button until the seat an d exterior mirrors reach their
programmed positions.
Using the remote control
– Unlock the vehicle using the remote control and open the driver door within the next ten minutes.The seat adjustment will have to be call ed up using the memory buttons if the
driver door is not opened within 10 minutes after unlocking the vehicle with
the remote control.
WARNING
•For safety reasons, the seat must only be adjusted when the vehicle is
at a standstill. Failure to do so could result in an accident.•In an emergency, the memory function can be stopped at any time by
pressing the STOP button or by briefly pressing any of the memory
buttons.
