The key set
1 Master keys with remote control unit
– these keys determine the functions
of the Key Memory. Refer to page

You can mark the individual keys for

ing the colored decals that you

In every master key with the
remote control feature there is an
extended-life battery that is charged
automatically in the ignition lock as you
drive.
For this reason, if you have master keys
with the remote control feature that are
not being used otherwise, use those
keys at least once a year while driving
for an extended period to charge the
battery.

2 Spare key – for storage in a safe
place, such as in your wallet. This key
is not intended for constant use. The
luggage compartment lid and the

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system engages
and releases the following locks at the
same time:
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door
> glove compartment.
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the door lock as well
as via the remote control
> from inside by pressing a button.
The fuel filler door is not locked when
the central locking system is activated
from the inside, refer to page
34 .
When the system is actuated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is also
activated. This prevents the doors from
being unlocked via the lock buttons or
the release handle. The alarm system is
also activated or deactivated.
The central locking system is automati-
cally deactivated in the event of an
accident. In addition, the hazard warn-
ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
