Displaying an error
If the warning 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.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must re-
main in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or open 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
■ 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.■
Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 33. The other doors and the boot lid can be emer-
gency locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 232.

Key types
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings
on page 32.
Explanation of graphic » Fig. 11
Keys without remote control
Keys with remote control (remote control keys)
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 wireless key has a flip-out key bit.The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after the receiver unit is
repaired or replaced. 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 231.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.

locked.
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 1)

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

ference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same fre-
quency range.

tivated by locking/unlocking » page 29.
Synchronising the remote control
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 32.
If the vehicle does not unlock when pressing the remote control, the key may not

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.
