Keys
The key set
1 Master keys with remote control unit
– these keys determine the functions
of the Key Memory. Refer to page 61.
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 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
that are not being used, you should use
those keys at least once a year while
driving for an extended period to
charge the battery, refer also to
page 31.<
2 Spare key – for storage in a safe
place, such as in your wallet. This key
is not intended for constant use. The
glove compartment cannot be locked
and unlocked with this key – which 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
>tailgate and rear window
>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 35. 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 35. In addition, the hazard warn-
ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
