flash slowly after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up for
about 30 seconds without interruption and th en flashes slowly, there is a fault in the

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!
Note

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.

KESSY system* - DescriptionThe KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking and
locking of the vehicle and a start-up without ac tively using the remote control key. It is
sufficient to carry the key with you, for example in your pocket, for unlocking and
locking the vehicle or for starting the engine.
The functions of the central locking system , the safe securing system* and the anti-
theft alarm system* correspond to vehicles without KESSY system. Only the control
elements are different.
Control elements of the system:
Sensor on the outside of the door handle for the front door fig. 26 - serves
for locking the vehicle,

Sensor on the inside of the d oor handle for the front door fig. 26 - serves for
unlocking the vehicle.
Unlocking and locking the vehicleFig. 26 KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle
If a valid remote control key is located in the area fig. 26 or of the vehicle, it
is possible to unlock the relevant door of this area. This means, if the key is located in
the area , you can unlock the front left door. If the valid key is located in the area ,
it is possible to unlock the boot lid.Unlocking the vehicle– If you hold the door handle of the front door or cover the sensor  fig. 26 with
the whole palm of your hand, the vehicle is then unlocked. If you cover the sensor and at the same time the sensor when unlocking, the vehicle is not
unlocked.Locking the vehicle– Close the driver or front passenger door.
– If you touch the sensor with your finger s, the vehicle is now locked (while doing
so do not hold the door handle, othe rwise the vehicle cannot be locked).
– On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved into
the position P before unlocking.Deactivating safe securing system*– Use your fingers to cover the sensor twice within 2 seconds.Unlocking and locking the boot lid– If you press on the handle of the boot lid, the lid is then unlocked. If the vehicle is
fitted with the electric boot lid* system, the lid begins to open after pressing the
handle.
– If the boot lid is closed, it is locked.
Check locking
After locking the vehicle with the aid of the sensor fig. 26 , it is not possible to
unlock the vehicle with the aid of the sensor for 2 seconds. Thus, it is possible to
check if the vehicle is locked by pulling on the handle.
