Manually unlocking and locking the driver door
Fig. 194 Door handle on driver door: Concealed lock cylinder.
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
When locking the vehicle manually, all doors are locked. Keep the key turned in the locking position to
close all windows and the power sunroof (convenience closing). When the vehicle is unlocked
manually, only the driver door is unlocked. Keep the key turned in the unlocking position to open all
windows. Note the instructions for the anti-theft alarm system.
Unfold the key bit from the remote control vehicle key.
Insert the key bit from below into the opening of the cover cap on the driver door ⇒
and lift the cover cap off. Grasping the door handle and pulling slightly makes it easier to remove the
cap.
Insert the key bit into the lock cylinder of the driver door and unlock or lock the door.
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 install 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 no alarm is triggered at first.
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.
The anti-theft alarm system, when installed, is not activated when the vehicle is locked manually
with the key bit.
