Vehicle key
Fig. 8
Key: without/with remote control
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 28.
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi-
cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control » Fig. 8 - 
or with
radio remote control » Fig. 8 - 
.
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 operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence 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 if the central locking does react to the remote
control at less than around 3 metres away » page 29.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.
28Operation

The following applies if your vehicle has been locked using the central lockingbutton.
› It is not possible to open the doors or the boot lid from the outside (safety fea-
ture, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).
› The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by pulling on the open-
ing lever of the respective door. By the first pull on the opening lever, the door is unlocked . By the second pull on the opening lever, the door is opened.
› If at least one door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
› In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
Remote control
 Introduction

34
Synchronization
35
You can use the remote control key to:
› unlock and lock the vehicle,
› unlocking boot lid;
› open and close the windows
» page 40, Window convenience operation .
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The 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 replaced, the
system must be initialised by a specialist garage. Only then can the remote con-
trol key be used again.
Note■ The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence 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 if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away » page 29.
■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.
