General notes on the central locking system
If the electronic key is inserted in the starter switch, the
vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked with the remote
control or a KEYLESS-GO-card.
If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked:
• Aim transmitter eye at a receiver on either door
handle. Check the batteries of the electronic key, see
page 369, or synchronize the remote control,
seepage371.
• Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO only:
A KEYLESS-GO-card must be recognized by the
system as being outside the vehicle to enable the
vehicle to be locked or unlocked (maximum distance
between card and doors or trunk is approximately
3 ft. (1 m). Check the location of the KEYLESS-GO-
card, see page 37. Check the batteries of the
KEYLESS-GO-card, see page 372. The trunk lid will
open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO card is detected
in the trunk, see page 38.
Note:
If neither the remote control nor KEYLESS-GO system
functions, use the mechanical key to unlock or lock the
vehicle. To start engine, insert the electronic key in the
starter switch. There could be a slight delay until the
electronic key can be turned in the starter switch.
Important!
When unlocking the driver’s door with the mechanical
key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will
sound.
To cancel the alarm:
• insert the electronic key in the starter switch,
• press button Œ or ‹ on the electronic key or
• vehicles with KEYLESS-GO:
when carrying the KEYLESS-GO-card, grasp the
door handle or press the start-/stop button on the
gear selector lever.
