WARNING  
Proceed as follows in order to store the settings  
and use the key memory in the remote control  
key:  
personalisation*  
Risk of crushing! Make sure that children do  
not play with the controls. Check that there  
are no objects in front of, behind or under the  
seat during adjustment. Make sure that none  
of the passengers in the rear seat is in danger  
of becoming trapped.  
The key memory in the remote control key means  
that certain settings in the car can be individually  
adapted for different people.  
1. Unlock the car with the remote control key in  
whose memory the setting2 shall be stored.  
The key memory function is available in combina-  
tion with, for example, power* driver's seat (p. 84).  
2. Make sure that the key memory function is  
activated in the menu system MY CAR.  
Settings for door mirrors (p. 106), driver's seat,  
steering force (p. 184) and the combined instru-  
ment panel's theme, contrast and colour mode  
(p. 67) can be stored in the key memory, depend-  
ing on the car's equipment level.  
Changing settings  
3. Make the desired settings for e.g. the seat  
and the door mirrors.  
If several people each with a remote control key  
approach the car, then the settings for e.g. seat  
and door mirrors are implemented for the person  
whose remote control key unlocks the driver's  
door.  
4. The settings are stored in the current remote  
control key's memory.  
The function1 can be activated/deactivated in the  
menu system MY CAR. For a description of the  
menu system, see MY CAR (p. 113).  
The next time the car is unlocked with the same  
remote control key, the positions that are stored  
in the key memory will be set automatically - pro-  
viding that they have been changed since the last  
time the current remote control key was used.  
If the driver's door has been opened by person A  
with remote control key A, but person B with  
remote control key B shall drive, then the settings  
can be changed as follows:  
When the function is activated, the settings are  
automatically linked to the key memory. This  
means that a change in a setting will automati-  
cally be saved in the specific remote control key's  
memory.  
Emergency stop  
Standing by the driver's door, or sitting  
If the seat accidentally begins to move, press one  
of the setting buttons for the seat or memory  
buttons in order to stop the seat.  
behind the steering wheel, person B presses  
the button for unlocking on his/her remote  
control key.  
Select one of three possible memories for  
seat adjustment with seat button 1-3.  
Restarting to reach the seat position stored in  
the key memory is performed by pressing the  
unlock button on the remote control key. The  
driver's door must then be open.  
Adjust the seat and door mirrors manually.

It is important to handle all remote control keys  
with great care.  
In order to unlock the doors or tailgate automati-  
cally without pressing a button on the remote  
control key, a remote control key must be within  
approx. 1.5 metres from the car's door handle or  
tailgate.  
When the remote control key has been returned

audible reminder ceases once either/or:  
If one of the remote control keys8 has been left  
in the car then the keyless functions are deacti-  
vated in case the car is e.g. locked with the other  
remote control key that belongs to the car. This  
prevents unauthorised entry.  
The person who wishes to lock or unlock a door  
must have the remote control key with him or her.  
It is not possible to lock or unlock a door if the  
remote control key is on the opposite side of the  
car.

Locking/unlocking - from the  
outside  
Locking/unlocking from the outside is carried  
out using the remote control key (p. 160). The  
remote control key can lock/unlock all doors, the  
tailgate and the fuel filler flap. Different sequen-  
ces for unlocking can be selected.  
Manual locking of the door  
In certain situations the car must be lockable  
manually, e.g. in the event of power failure.  
NOTE  
Remember that the alarm is triggered when  
the door is opened after being unlocked with  
the key blade - the alarm is switched off when  
the remote control key is inserted into the  
ignition switch.  
The left-hand front door can be locked with its  
lock cylinder and the remote control key's  
detachable key blade (p. 168).  
Other doors have no lock cylinders and instead  
have a lock switch on the end of each door which  
must be depressed using the key blade - they are  
then mechanically locked/blocked to prevent  
them being opened from outside. The doors can  
still be opened from the inside.  
In order that the lock sequence can be activated,  
the driver's door must be closed - if any of the  
other doors or the tailgate is open, then it/they  
is/are locked and the alarm is activated only  
when it/they are closed. For cars equipped with  
keyless locking system* all doors and the tailgate  
must be closed, see Keyless Drive* - locking  
(p. 167) and Keyless Drive* - unlocking (p. 168).  
WARNING  
Be aware of the risk of being locked in the  
car when it is locked from the outside using  
the remote control key - it is then not possible  
to open any of the doors from the inside with  
the door controls. For more information, see  
Deadlocks* (p. 174).  
Automatic relocking  
NOTE  
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened  
within two minutes of unlocking, all are locked  
again automatically. This function prevents the  
car from being left unlocked unintentionally. For  
cars with alarm, see Alarm* (p. 177).  
Be aware of the risk of locking the remote  
control key in the car.  
If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the remote  
control key, the battery may be discharged - lock  
or unlock the left-hand front door with the  
detachable key blade (p. 163).

Alarm*  
The alarm is a device that warns in the event of  
e.g. a break-in in the car.  
NOTE  
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in  
the event of movement in the passenger  
compartment - air currents are also regis-  
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered if  
the car is left with a window open or if the  
passenger compartment heater is used.
