Vehicle key
Fig. 8
Key: without/with remote control
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 22.
Two keys are provided with the vehicle » Fig. 8.
Keys without remote control
Keys with remote control (remote control keys)
WARNING■ Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) – risk of injury!■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally –
risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
■
The function of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters located near the vehicle that operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phones, television transmitters).
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking does react to the remote
control at less than around 3 metres away » page 23.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.
22Using the system

Safe securing systemFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 25.
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors withthe door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent against attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30 seconds.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the door can
be opened from the inside by a single pull on opening lever of the respective
door.
WARNINGIf the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then no longer pos-
sible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
You will be informed that the safe securing system has been activated after the
vehicle has been locked by means of the message   on the instrument clus-
ter display.

Warning light
Unlocking
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked. If the vehicle is unlocked using button
1
and none of the doors or the
luggage compartment lid are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is
automatically locked again and the safe securing system is reactivated. This func-
tion is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the luggage compartment lid remain open after the vehicle has
been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNINGIf the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
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 – risk to life!ABNoteOnly operate the remote control when the doors and luggage compartment lid
are closed and the vehicle is in your line of sight.
Synchronization
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 27.
If the vehicle does not unlock when pressing the remote control, the key may notbe synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the remote control key are
actuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery in the remote control key was replaced.
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.

The electrical power windows can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on.
WARNING■ If the vehicle is locked from the outside, do not leave anybody in the vehicle
as it is not possible to open the windows from the inside in the event of an
emergency.■
When closing the windows, proceed with caution so as to avoid causing
crushing injuries - risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
If the windows are frozen, first of all remove the ice » page 117, Windows and
exterior mirrors . Only then can the electrical power windows be operated, as oth-
erwise the window seal and the electrical power window mechanism could be
damaged.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
The windows must be kept closed at high speeds in order to prevent unnecessa-
rily high fuel consumption.NoteThe heating, air conditioning and ventilation system should be used to ventilate
the inside of the vehicle while driving. If the windows are open, dust as well as
other dirt can get into the vehicle, and there may also be wind noise at certain
speeds.

Power sliding/tilting roof
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
31
The power sliding/tilting roof (abbreviated in the following as 'sliding/tilting roof'), can only be operated with the rotary dial » Fig. 21 on page 31 when the ignition
is turned on . The control dial has several positions.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after switching
the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors is opened it is no lon-
ger possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
CAUTION
■ Always close the sliding/tilting roof before unhooking the battery.■If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the
sliding/tilting roof does not operate correctly. Next, move the rotary switch into
position A
» Fig. 21 on page 31 , pull the recess firmly downwards and hold for-
wards firmly. The sliding/tilting roof opens and closes again after around 10 sec-
onds. Do not release the control dial until it has done so.

First read and observe the introductory information given on page 37.
Switch the rear window heater on/off
When the heater is switched on, a lamp lights up inside the button. The rear window heater only operates when the engine is running.
The rear window heater switches off automatically after approx. 10 minutes.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free from
mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel econ-
omy.
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the rear window heater switches off automatically,
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 137,
