Key

The vehicle's equipment includes two keys with remote control. There is an emergency key element in each of the two keys supplied.

The key is configured at the factory to centrally lock and unlock the following:

  • The doors

  • The boot lid

  • The fuel filler flap

  • The glove compartment

Risk of accident

Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could open even a locked door from the inside or start the vehicle if the key is left in it and thereby endanger themselves and others. You should therefore take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for a short time.

Cabriolet:

You can also open and close the soft-top with the key more.

Factory settings

  

To unlock centrally: press the button.
 

The turn signals flash once. The locking knobs in the doors pop up. The anti-theft alarm system* is deactivated.

If you do not open either a door or the boot lid after you have unlocked the vehicle, it will automatically relock after approximately 40 seconds.
  

To lock centrally: press the button.
 

The turn signals flash three times if the doors and boot lid are closed. The locking knobs in the doors drop down. The anti-theft alarm system* or the immobiliser is primed.

Individual settings

You can change the function of the key in such a way that pressing the button only unlocks the driver's door and the fuel filler flap. This can be useful if you frequently travel on your own and do not want the front-passenger door and the boot lid to be unlocked at the same time as the driver's door.

  

To activate or deactivate: press and hold the and buttons simultaneously for approximately six seconds until the battery check lamp flashes twice.

The key now functions as follows:

  

To unlock the driver's door: press the button once.
  

To unlock centrally: press the button twice.
  

To lock centrally: press the button.

Restoring the factory settings

  

Press the and buttons simultaneously for approximately six seconds until the battery check lamp flashes twice.

KEYLESS GO key*

If you are carrying the KEYLESS GO key on your person, you can use the KEYLESS GO functions of your vehicle. The KEYLESS GO key should not be more than one metre away from the vehicle. However, you can also use the KEYLESS GO key like a normal key with remote control.

When you pull the door handle, the following unlock centrally if the factory settings have not been changed:

  • the doors

  • the boot lid

  • the fuel filler flap

  • the glove compartment

If you pull on the handle of the boot lid, only the boot of your vehicle is unlocked.

Risk of accident

Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could open a locked door from the inside, or, if a valid KEYLESS GO key has been left in the vehicle, start the vehicle by pressing the KEYLESS GO button on the selector lever, thereby endangering themselves and others. Switch off the engine and take the KEYLESS GO key with you, even if you are only leaving the vehicle for a short time.

Important notes

  • If the KEYLESS GO key is removed from the vehicle (in luggage or in an article of clothing, for instance), it will no longer be possible to start the vehicle.

  • If the KEYLESS GO key is removed from the vehicle while the engine is running, e.g. if the front passenger leaves the vehicle with the KEYLESS GO key, the following message will appear in the multi-function display as you pull away: Key not detected.

  • If the KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle, the vehicle can be started at any time. If you have left the KEYLESS GO key in the vehicle, you will see the following message in the multi-function display when you lock the vehicle: Key still in vehicle.

Factory settings

  

To unlock centrally: pull the door handle.
 

The turn signals flash once. The locking knobs in the doors pop up. The anti-theft alarm system* is deactivated.

If you do not open either a door or the boot lid after you have unlocked the vehicle, it will relock automatically after approximately 40 seconds.

When a door is opened, the side window on that side opens slightly. When the door is closed, the window closes again.

The side windows will not open or close if the battery is discharged or if the side windows have iced up. It will not be possible to close the door. Do not attempt to force the door closed. You could otherwise damage the door or the window.

It is possible that the vehicle may be inadvertently unlocked if the KEYLESS GO key is within a maximum of one meter of the vehicle and the door handle is splashed by a gush of water or you are cleaning the door handle.

Locking button on the door
  

To lock centrally: Press locking button on the door handle.
 

The turn signals flash three times. The locking knobs in the doors drop down. The anti-theft alarm system* or the immobiliser is primed.

Locking from the boot*

On vehicles with KEYLESS GO* and remote boot lid closing*, you can close the boot lid automatically and thereby centrally lock your vehicle more.

Individual settings

You can change the function of the key. When you now grasp the door handle on the driver's door, you will only unlock the driver's door and the fuel filler flap. This can be useful if you frequently travel on your own and do not want the front-passenger door and the boot lid to be unlocked at the same time as the driver's door.

  

To activate or deactivate: press and hold the and buttons on the key simultaneously for approximately six seconds until the battery check lamp flashes twice.
 

The KEYLESS GO key will now function as follows:
  

To unlock the driver's door: pull the door handle on the driver's door.
  

To unlock centrally: pull the front-passenger door handle.
  

To lock centrally: press the locking button on the door handle.

Restoring the factory settings

  

Press the and buttons on the key simultaneously for approximately six seconds until the battery check lamp flashes twice.

If the door is locked, locking knob pops up. The door is unlocked and can be opened.

When a door is opened, the side window on that side opens slightly. When the door is closed, the window closes again.

The side windows will not open or close if the battery is discharged or if the side windows have iced up. It will not be possible to close the door. Do not attempt to force the door closed. You could otherwise damage the door or the window.

Automatic locking

The vehicle will lock automatically once you have pulled away.

You can switch off the automatic locking function via the on-board computer more.

The doors unlock automatically in the event of an accident if the force of the impact exceeds a predetermined level.

The vehicle is locked automatically when the ignition is switched on and the wheels begin to turn. There is therefore a risk of being locked out when the vehicle is being pushed or tested on a dynamometer.

Locking/unlocking the vehicle from the inside

You can centrally lock or unlock the vehicle from the inside. This feature may be useful if, for example, you wish to unlock the front-passenger door from the inside or lock the vehicle before you pull away.

Risk of accident

Do not leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could open a door from the inside even if it is locked and thereby endanger themselves and others.
