easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply parking brake without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill slope or
uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear.
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

20Keys, doors and windowsLock cylinders
Designed to free-wheel if they are
forcefully rotated without the correct
key or if the correct key is not fully
inserted. To reset, turn cylinder with
the correct key until its slot is vertical, remove key and then re-insert it. If the
cylinder still free-wheels, turn the key through 180° and repeat operation.
Car Pass The Car Pass contains security
related vehicle data and should
therefore be kept in a safe place.
When 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 3 24
● load compartment 3 33
● anti-theft locking system 3 35
● anti-theft alarm system 3 36
The remote control has a range of
approx. five metres. It can be
restricted by external influences. The
hazard warning flashers confirm
operation.
Handle with care, protect it from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Depending on model, the vehicle may
use a 2-button or 3-button remote
control or an electronic key which
includes the functionality of the
remote control.
Electronic key system 3 22.
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.
