Unlocking and locking
44Note
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.

through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we
recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back, the
posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we
recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long
distances, so that in specific cases as mentioned above the body can recuperate
from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate
your specific condition.

are fastened or stored on them, for example a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of the heating
elements in the seat heating can occur.

The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This has
a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.
