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. The functions of the central locking sys-
tem can be individually adjusted » page 55.
After unlocking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting the following is
valid for the central locking. ▶ The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
▶ An double audible signal sounds additionally on vehicles which are fitted
with the anti-theft alarm system.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
▶ The interior light comes on.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched off.
▶ The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
After locking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting the following is
valid for the central locking.
▶ The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
▶ An audible signal sounds additionally on vehicles which are fitted with the

▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked.
▶
The interior lamp goes out.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched on.
▶ The indicator 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 has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
Protection against unintended vehicle unlocking
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.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 - there is a 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. These individuals
might not be able to exit the vehicle by themselves or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
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 ig-
nition lock.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.

frequency range.■
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.
