Unlocking and locking

Synchronisation
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it
is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code 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. ÐKESSY system
Introductory information
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables a comfort unlocking
and locking of the vehicle and a start-up without actively using the remote con-
trol key. The KESSY system is integrated in the central locking system.
The safe securing system and anti-theft alarm system correspond to vehicles
without the KESSY system. Only the control elements are different.
When unlocking and locking the vehicle or for starting the engine it suffices to
carry the key with you, e.g. in your pocket. ÐLocking/unlocking
Fig. 13
KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle To lock/unlock a vehicle fitted with the KESSY system, it is necessary for the valid

Introductory information
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked with the radio
remote control or the key in the driver's door . The door contact monitoring is ac-
tivated approx. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protec-
tion monitoring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is
opened during activation, the monitoring is only activated 5 seconds after closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The alarm system is deactivated by pressing the unlock button on the radio re-
mote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle. £

Unlocking and locking

If the vehicle is unlocked within 45 seconds by inserting the key into the driver
door, the key must be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on
within 15 seconds of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system. The
alarm is triggered if the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
› bonnet;
› boot lid;
› doors;
› ignition lock;
› Vehicle inclination
» page 34;
› Interior of the vehicle
» page 34;
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply;
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control
or switching on the ignition. Note
■ The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
■ Before leaving the car, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors, and
the electric sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof are properly closed to
ensure the full functionality of the anti-theft alarm system. ■ Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. Ð Interior monitor and towing protection monitoring

automatically the next time the car is locked. Note
■ Switch off the interior monitor and the towing protection monitoring if there is
a possibility of the alarm being triggered by movements from (e.g. children or ani-
mals) within the vehicle interior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by
train or ship) or towed. ■ The opened glasses storage compartment reduces the effectiveness of the in-
terior monitor. To ensure the full functionality of the interior monitor, the glasses
storage compartment must always be closed before locking the vehicle. Ð
34 Using the system

Adjusting the top position of the lid
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 38.If the space for opening the lid is restricted (e.g. height of garage) or for more
convenient operation (e.g. according to a person's height), it is possible to adjust
the top position of the boot lid.
Adjusting
› Stop the lid in the desired position (electrically or manually).
› Press the inner button B
» Fig. 21 on page 38 and press and hold it for approx.
3 seconds. Storing the position in the memory of the control unit is confirmed
with an audible signal.
Deleting the adjusted position
› Carefully lift up the lid manually to the maximum opening position.
› Press and hold the inner button B
» Fig. 21 on page 38 for approx. 3

seconds.
An audible signal sounds and the height which was originally set is deleted from
the memory of the control unit, while the basic position of the top lid position is
again set. Note
■ The lid always opens at the height which was last stored in the memory of the
control unit. ■ The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually. ÐOperational problems
First read and observe the introductory information given on page
38.If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the boot lid is open, it is
necessary to activate the electric boot lid system. Activation refers to the initiali-
sation of the control unit by manually closing the lid. Thus, the end position of the
lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

Operational faults
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 40.
Electrically operated power windows do not operate
If the battery has been disconnected and then reconnected while the window
was opened, the electrically operated power windows do not operate. The system
must be activated. Proceed as follows in order to re-establish the function:
› switch on the ignition;
› pull the top edge of the button to close the window;
› release the button;
› pull the relevant button upwards again for approx. 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there to
be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move
back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 42.ÐElectric sliding/tilting roof
Introductory information
Fig. 25
Control dial for the power slid-
ing/tilting roof
The sliding/tilting roof is operated by means of the control dial » Fig. 25 and only
functions when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions.
ä
The sliding/tilting roof can still be opened, closed and tilted for approx. 10
mi-
nutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors
is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof. Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the slid-
ing/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to
the switch position A
» Fig. 25 and pressed forward for about 10

seconds.Ð Using the system
Comfort position
› Turn the switch to position C
» Fig. 25 on page 43.
Opening fully
› Turn the switch to position B
» Fig. 25 on page 43 and hold it in this position
(spring-tensioned position).
Tilting roof
› Turn the switch to position D
» Fig. 25 on page 43.
Closing
› Turn the switch to position A
» Fig. 25 on page 43.
Force limiter
The sliding/tilting roof is fitted with a force limiter. If an obstacle (e.g. ice) pre-
vents closing, the sliding/tilting roof stops and opens completely. The sliding/tilt-
ing roof can be closed completely without the force limiter by turning the switch
into position A
» Fig. 25 on page 43 at the front for as long as it takes for the
sliding/tilting roof to close completely » .
When the sliding/tilting roof is in the comfort position, the intensity of the wind
noise is much less.
The sun screen is also opened automatically when the roof slides open. WARNING
Close the sliding/tilting roof carefully - risk of injury! £
