WARNINGIf the car is locked from the outside and the safelock system is switched on,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – hazard!

are closed and the vehicle is in your line of sight.■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.
ABSynchronization
If the vehicle does not unlock when pressing the remote control, the key may not be synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the remote control key areactuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery in the remote control key was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the key as follows:
› press any button on the remote control key;
› pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute.
