Keys

The key set

1 Each master key with remote control

is powered by an extended-life bat-
tery that is charged automatically in
the ignition lock as you drive. For this
reason, user every master key at
least twice a year to keep its battery
charged. Depending on which master
key is recognized when the vehicle is
unlocked, different settings are called
up and carried out in the vehicle,
refer to Vehicle Memory, Key Memory
on page

2 Replacement key for storage in a safe

place, e.g. your wallet.

This key cannot be used to open the
locks for the luggage compartment
lid or the glove compartment. This
can be advantageous for valet park-
ing, for example. The key is not
intended for constant use.

Central locking system

The concept

The central locking system engages
and releases the locks on the:
> doors

> luggage compartment lid

> fuel filler door.
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 and

using the remote control

> from inside via the central locking

system button.

If it is operated from inside, the fuel
filler door will not be locked, refer to
page

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.

In the event of a sufficiently severe
accident, the central locking system
unlocks automatically. In addition, the
hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.
