Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and boot lid at the same time.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
unlocking
› The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
› The interior light, which is switched by the door contact, comes on.
› The SafeLock system is switched off.
› The warning icon in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 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.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
locking
› The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked.
›The interior light switched by the door contact goes off.
› The SafeLock system is switched on.
› The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of accident! These individuals would
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
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.) impair the function of the locking cylinder and ignition 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 177 .
■
Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
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
vehicle.49Unlocking and opening

ment, the boot lid is released (partially opened). The turn signal lights flash

gage compartment lid remains released(partially open). The other doors re-
main locked.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Key in vehicle.

Exterior mirrors
69WARNING■ Convex (curved outward) or aspherical exterior mirrors increase the field
of vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror.
These mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to
the following vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.

Mirror with automatic dimming
When the engine is switched off the mirror dims automatically depending on
the light falling on the sensors.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external devices (e.g. navigation systems) on to the windscreen
or in the vicinity of the interior mirror »
