Emergency locking of the doorsAll the other doors without locking cylinder have an emergency locking which is only
visible once the door is opened. The emergency locking must be used in particular if
the vehicle battery fails.Locking– Remove the panel fig. 27 .
– Insert the key into the slot and turn it into the horizontal position in the direc-
tion of the arrow (mirror-inverted on the right doors).
– Re-insert the panel.
After closing the door, you can no longer open it from outside. If the child safety lock
is not switched on, it is possible to open the door from the inside by pulling once on
the door opening lever. If the child safety lock is activated (only on the rear doors), first
of all it is necessary to pull once on the i nner door handle and then open the door from
the outside.

vehicle using the key or the radio remote control.Opening the boot lid– Press on the handle fig. 28 and at the same time raise the boot lid.Closing the boot lid– Pull the boot lid down and close it with a slight swing .
A handle which makes the closing easier is located on the inner paneling of the boot
lid.

wise, the boot lid might open suddenly when driving even if the boot lid lock is
closed - risk of accident!



After closing the boot lid, it is automatically locked within 2 seconds and the
anti-theft alarm sy stem* is activated. This applies only if the vehicle was locked
before closing the boot lid.

The function of the hand grip above the li cence plate is deactivated when starting
off or as of a speed of more than 5 km/hour for vehicles with central locking. The func-
tion of the hand grip is activated again when the vehicle has stopped and a door is
opened.
Emergency unlocking of the boot lidIf there is a fault in the central lockin g, you can open the boot lid as follows:
– Fold one of the outer rear seats forwards.
– Move the operating lever with the aid of a narrow object, e.g. a screwdriver, up to
the stop in the direction of arrow and then unlock the boot lid in the direction
of arrow .
– Open the boot lid from the outside.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 key is approx. 10 m. But this range 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 deacti vated when the ignition is switched on.

The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to the 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 vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control.
