20Keys, doors and windowsWhen the vehicle is taken to a
workshop, this vehicle data is needed in order to perform certain operations.
Radio remote control
Used to operate: ● central locking system
● anti-theft locking system
● anti-theft alarm system
Depending on model, the vehicle may use a 2-button or 3-button remote
control.
The remote control has a range of
approx. 5 metres. It can be affected
by external influences. The hazard
warning flashers confirm operation.
Handle with care, protect it from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the remote control,
it may be due to the following:
● The range is exceeded.
● The battery voltage is too low.
● Frequent, repeated operation of the remote control while not in
range, which will require
reprogramming by a workshop.
● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Unlocking 3 21.
Remote control battery
replacement
Replace the battery as soon as the
range reduces.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Remove screw and open battery
compartment by inserting a coin into
the slot and twisting.
Replace the battery (battery type
CR2016), paying attention to the
installation position.

movement.
Notice
If the power sliding door is locked
from the inside with the child lock
active, a warning chime will sound.
Unlock the door manually from the
inside.
Closing
Press switch again; the LED flashes and a chime sounds during operation.
In the event of opening or closing
difficulties, e.g. due to frost, press and hold the switch to increase power to
the sliding door.9 Warning
Take care when operating the
power sliding door. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
Take particular care when the
vehicle is parked on a slope: open
or close the door fully until it
latches into its locking position.
Keep a close watch on the moving door when operating. Ensure thatnothing becomes trapped during
operation and no-one is standing
within the moving area.
Notice
Do not operate power sliding door too often without engine running asthis will discharge the vehicle
battery.
Emergency exit
In an emergency, the sliding side door
can be opened manually after
releasing the interior handle.
Alternatively, if the vehicle is
unlocked, open the door using the exterior handle (depending on modelvariant). Lift the handle (3) to the
second notch position, then slide the
door backwards using the handle (2)
near the front edge of the door.
Reset
If the door has been opened
manually, the power sliding door
system must be reset.

32Keys, doors and windowsIf the hazard warning lights do not
flash upon activation, a door or the
bonnet is not fully closed.
Notice
Changes to the vehicle interior, e.g.
the use of seat covers, and open
windows, could impair the function
of passenger compartment
monitoring.
Deactivation
Unlocking the vehicle or switching on
the ignition deactivates the anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights
flash once to confirm deactivation.
Notice
If the alarm has been triggered,
unlocking the vehicle with the key
will not stop the alarm siren. To stop the siren, switch on the ignition. The
hazard warning lights will not flash
upon deactivation if the alarm has
been triggered.
Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment
Switch off monitoring of the
passenger compartment when
people or animals are being left in thevehicle, or if the auxiliary heater
3 111 is set for a timed or remote
controlled start.
Depending on vehicle configuration:
● press and hold e, or
● switch ignition on and off twice quickly, then close doors and
activate the anti-theft alarm
system
An audible signal will sound as
confirmation.
The status will remain until the doors
are unlocked.
Alarm
When triggered, the alarm sounds via a separate battery-backed power
sounder, and the hazard warning
lights flash simultaneously. The
number and duration of alarm signals
are stipulated by legislation.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected
or its power supply is interrupted, the
alarm siren will be triggered. First
deactivate the anti-theft alarm system if the vehicle battery must be
disconnected.
To silence the alarm siren (if
triggered) and therefore deactivate
the anti-theft alarm system, reconnect vehicle battery and unlock vehicle
with remote control button c (or
switch on the ignition).
Immobiliser
The system is part of the ignition
switch and checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to be started with
the key being used.
