Malfunctions

The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and boot lid at the same time.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
unlocking

The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.

The interior light, which is switched by the door contact, comes on.
›
The SafeLock system is switched off.
›
The warning icon in the driver door stops flashing.
›
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to
prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.

WARNING
50
Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
■
50
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
50
ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!
51
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
■
52
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
52
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
53
hicle could then start to move - risk of accident! These individuals would
53
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
53
CAUTION
Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
■
against moisture and severe shocks.
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
■
etc.) impair the function of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
■
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away
» page 177.
Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
■
Note
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the
vehicle.
