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. five 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.
● Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals; the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.

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.
Note
Do not operate power sliding door
too often without engine running as
this 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 model variant). 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.

monitoring.
Deactivation
Unlocking the vehicle or switching on
the ignition deactivates the anti-theft
alarm system. Hazard warning lights
flash once to confirm deactivation.
Note

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 when
people or animals are being left in thevehicle, or if the auxiliary heater
3 123 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

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.
88Instruments and controls
Depending on vehicle, an additional
outlet may be located in the rear of the
vehicle.

while the engine is off will discharge
the vehicle battery. Do not exceed the
maximum power consumption of
120 watts.
9 Danger
To avoid the risk of fire, if multiple
power outlets are used
simultaneously, the total power
consumption of connected
accessories must not exceed
180 watts.
With ignition off the power outlet may
be deactivated.
Additionally, the power outlet may be
deactivated in case of low battery
voltage.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in
DIN VDE 40 839.Caution
Do not connect any current- delivering accessories, e.g.
electrical charging devices or
batteries.
Do not damage the outlets by
using unsuitable plugs.
