Opening and closing
Keys
The key set
1 Master keys with remote control.
They govern the functions of the Key
Memory. Certain functions in your
vehicle may operate differently
depending on the key, refer to
page
58 .
To distinguish between keys, you can
mark each key with remote control by
applying one of the colored decals
that you received when accepting
delivery of your vehicle
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.
Therefore, use otherwise unused mas-
ter keys for a longer journey every six
months so that the battery can be
charged.

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
glove compartment cannot be locked
and unlocked with this key. This is
useful for valet parking, for example
Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system simultaneously
engages and releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the remote control
as well as via the driver's door lock
> 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
32 . When
the system is actuated from the out-
side, the anti-theft system is also acti-
vated. This prevents the doors from
being unlocked via the lock buttons or
the release handle. The alarm system is
also activated or deactivated.
If locked from the inside, the central
locking system unlocks automatically in
the event of an accident, except on
doors that have been locked individu-
ally using the lock buttons, refer to
page
32 . In addition, the hazard warn-
ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
