Vehicle key
Indicator light in the vehicle key
Replacing the battery in the remote control key
Child safety lock
WARNING
If batteries with a diameter of 20 mm or other lithium batteries are swal-
lowed, serious or even fatal injuries may result in a very short time.
Always keep the vehicle key and key chains with batteries, spare batteries,
■
button cells and other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of reach of
children.
Get medical attention immediately if you assume that a battery has been
■
swallowed.
WARNING
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only for
a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
Never allow children or people requiring help alone in the vehicle. In an
■
emergency, they are unable to leave the vehicle alone or to help themselves.
For example, depending on the season, very high or low temperatures may
develop in a closed vehicle, causing serious injuries and illness or death, espe-
cially in young children.
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
■
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally -
risk of accident!

Replacement key
To obtain a replacement key or additional vehicle keys, the chassis number of the
vehicle is necessary.
Every new vehicle key must contain a microchip that is coded with the data of the
vehicle's electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key does not work if it contains no mi-
crochip, or contains a microchip that is not coded. This also applies to vehicle keys
 that are cut correctly.
