Keys

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
subsequent identification by apply-
ing 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.
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
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

. 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

. In addition, the hazard warn-

ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
