Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel filler
flap and tailgate at the same time based on the current setting 1)

The safe securing system » page 35 is integrated in the central locking system.
Once the car is locked from the outside, the door locks are automatically blocked
by the safe securing system »

Displaying an error
If the indicator light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.WARNING■ If the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car as it is then not possible 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!■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.
Note
■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi- cle.■
In case of failure of the central locking the driver's door can only be unlocked or
locked with the key. The other doors and the tailgate can be emergency locked or emergency released. ■Emergency locking of the door » page 240.

32Using the system

Vehicle keyFig. 12
Remote control key
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings on page 32.
Two remote control keys are provided with the vehicle » Fig. 12.
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 ofthe remote control 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.
The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after repair or replace-
ment of the receiver unit. Only then can the remote control key be used again.
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.
Otherwise, the children might 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 battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away » page 239.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.

AB33Unlocking and opening

If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safelock system or
anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to prevent
the car being unlocked unintentionally.
The seat and mirror are adjusted after the vehicle is unlocked » page 69.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.

Checking the battery condition
The battery is empty if the red warning iconB
» Fig. 13 does not flash when you
press a button on the remote control key. Replace the battery » page 239.
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 – risk to life!
CAUTION
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid 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.
■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal inter-
ference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same fre-
quency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
Note
For vehicles with anti-theft alarm the acoustic signals can also be activated/deac-
tivated by locking/unlocking » page 29.

ABC34Using the system

If the vehicle is locked via the sensor 1, it will not be possible to unlock it again
in the following 2 seconds via the sensor 2 - prevents accidental unlocking.
The KESSY system can find the valid key, even if it was left in the front of the ve-
hicle's roof for example D
» Fig. 14 . It is therefore not always necessary to know
where the key is.
Always check to see whether the vehicle is locked. Further information about the KESSY system » page 37.
CAUTION
■
Do not use objects which might prevent direct contact between the hand and
the sensor.■
Some types of gloves can impair the function of the grip sensor.
■
After leaving the vehicle, it does not lock automatically, the procedure for lock-
ing the vehicle must therefore be observed.
■
If the battery in the key is weak or discharged, the vehicle may not be unlocked
or locked via the KESSY system. In this case, use the emergency unlocking or
emergency locking on the driver's door » page 240.
