WARNING

Replacing the battery in the remote control key

■

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 the danger of injury and accidents oc-

curring!

■

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

vehicle 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!

Warning light in the driver's door

After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in

quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.

If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.

In addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the car by

pressing the central locking button  » page 47.

If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system » page 46 is not operat-

ing, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes

out and starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.

The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the

opening lever of the respective door.

Note

If the indicator light first flashes fast for about 2 seconds, then lights up for

about 30 seconds continuously and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the

central locking system or in the interior monitor and in the towing protec-

tion » page 50. Seek help from a specialist garage.

Individual settings can be applied in a specialist workshop.

The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door

locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. It is

then not possible to open the doors with the door handle, either from the in-

side or from the outside.

CAUTION

If the safe securing system is activated» page 46, the door opening lever and

the central locking buttons do not operate.

You will be informed that the safe securing system is activated after the vehi-

cle is locked by the CHECK DEADLOCK message on the instrument cluster dis-
