heed the WARNINGS
When locking the vehicle manually, all doors are locked. Keep the
key turned in the locking position to close all windows and the power
sunroof (convenience closing). When the vehicle is unlocked manual-
ly, only the driver door is unlocked. Note the instructions for the anti-
theft alarm system ⇒ꢀ Power locking and closing system.
Take the emergency key out of the vehicle key ⇒ꢀ Vehicle key set.
Insert the emergency key from below into the opening of the cover
cap on the driver door ⇒ꢀfig. 176 (arrow) and lift the cover cap off.
Grasping the door handle and pulling slightly makes it easier to re-
move the cap.
Insert the emergency key into the lock cylinder and unlock or lock
the vehicle.
Reinsert the cover cap from top to bottom and press until it clicks
into place. Grasping the door handle and pulling slightly makes it eas-
ier to reinstall the cap.
Special considerations when unlocking:
If the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm system, the sys-
tem remains activated for the unlocked vehicle. But the alarm is not
triggered at first ⇒ꢀ Power locking and closing system.
Open the driver door. The alarm will sound.
