WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get
out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the outside,
the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (
page 62). The doors can then
Y
be opened from the inside after the vehicle has
been locked from the outside. The anti-theft
alarm system is triggered if the door is opened
from the inside. Switch off the alarm
(
page 60).

WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the key,
the key could be unintentionally turned in the
ignition lock. This could cause the engine to
be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
key. Remove any bulky keyrings before insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock.
!
Keep the key away from strong magnetic
fields. Otherwise, the remote control function
could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin-
ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the key:
with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
R
or another key
with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R
inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
R
This can impair the key's function.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start function: do
not keep the key on the luggage compartment
cover or in the luggage compartment. Other-
wise, the key may not be detected, e.g. when
starting the engine using the Start/Stop button.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in or in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle. This occurs, for
example:
during engine start
R
during driving
R
when using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
R
when the external door handles are touched
R
