Insert the key bit into the lock cylinder of the driver door and
unlock or lock the door. If the larger side of the vehicle key
touches the door handle during locking or unlocking, either pull
the door handle slightly or reinsert the vehicle key in the lock
cylinder with the opposite side facing up.
Reinsert the cover cap from top to bottom and press until it clicks
into place. Grasping the door handle and pulling slightly makes it
easier to reinstall the cap.
Special considerations when unlocking:
If the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm system, the
system remains activated for the unlocked vehicle. But the alarm
is not triggered at first → Power locking system   .
Open the driver door. The alarm will sound.
Switch on the ignition. The electronic immobilizer recognizes a
valid remote control vehicle key when the ignition is switched on
and deactivates the anti-theft alarm system.
The driver door can be unlocked separately from the inside the vehicle by pulling the
door handle to open the door → Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside   .
The anti-theft alarm system, when installed, is not activated when the vehicle is
locked manually with the key bit → Anti-theft alarm system   .
