Technical Data
Remote control*DescriptionThe vehicle can be unlocked and lock ed using the radio remote control.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporat ed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control
key is approx. 10 m. But this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master 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.
Unlocking and locking car
Unlocking the vehicle

– Press button for about 1 second.Locking the vehicle

– Press button for about 1 second.Deactivating safe securing system– Press button twice in 2 seconds. Further information page 36.Folding out of the key– Press button .Folding up of the key– Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.
The turn signal lights flash twice as confir mation that the vehicle has been unlocked.
The vehicle will lock again automatically if you unlock the vehicle using button but
do not open a door or the boot lid within th e next 30 seconds. This function is intended
to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system are, however, deacti-
vated during these 30 seconds.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the electrically adjustable seats and exterior
mirrors* move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver seat
and exterior mirrors is retrieved.
The turn signal lights flash once to confir m that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the turn signal lights do not flash, ch eck the doors, bonnet and boot lid again to
ensure that they are closed. If the doors, the bonnet or the boot lid remain open when
the anti-theft alarm system is activated, the turn signal lights do not flash until after
they have been closed.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights in the door contact are auto-
matically switched on or off.

also switched on at the same time when
the rear window heater is activated.
For the sake of the environment
As soon as the window is de-iced or free from mist, the heating should be switched off.
The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel economy
page 132, “Saving electricity”.Sun visorsThe sun visors can be pulled out of the fixtures and swiveled towards the side window.
The visor above the interior mirr or* can only be folded down. fig. 49 .

WARNING

Convex (curved outward) or spherical (differently curved) exterior mirrors
increase the vision field. They do, howe ver, make objects appear smaller in the
mirror. These mirrors are only of limi ted use, therefore, for estimating
distances to the following vehicles.

Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the distances
to the following vehicles.Note

Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.

You can set the exterior mirr ors by hand, if the power setting function fails at any
time by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.

Contact your specialist garage if a fault ex ists with the power setting of the exterior

The memory system can be deactivated at any time with the button . The seat and
the exterior mirrors can al so be manually operated. Memory buttons
Memory for the seat offers the possibility to store the individual driver seat and
external mirror position. An individual posi
tion can be allocated to each of the three
memory buttons page 58, fig. 56 , that is three in total. By pressing the appro-
priate memory button the seat and external mirror will automatically move into the
position allocated to this button page 59.
Note

When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memory button to each additional driver.

Each new setting stored with the same button erases the previous setting.

Each time you store the seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward you
also have to re-store the individual setting of the exterior mirror on the passenger side
for reversing.
Assigning radio remote cont rol* to the memory buttonsAfter storing the settings of the seat and exterior mirrors, you have 10 seconds in order
to assign the radio remote control to the appropriate memory button.
– Withdraw the ignition key.
– Press the release button page 39 and hold it presse d for 1 second until an
audible signal confirms that the setting has been stored. The setting is stored with
the memory button which you have selected.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also
using the radio remote control, you have to assign the radio remote control to a
memory button in each case.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional re mote control key from a specialist garage
and then assign the remote contro l key to another memory button.
Note

If the radio remote control had previous ly been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
