KEY, LOCKS AND ALARM
* Option/accessory. 234
Locking and unlocking with the
detachable key blade
Amongst other things, the detachable key blade
can be used to unlock the car from the outside -
e.g. if the remote control key's battery has
become discharged.
Unlocking
Pull out the front door handle on the left-
hand side
11 to its end position so that the
lock cylinder become visible.
Insert the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn clockwise 45 degrees so that the key
blade is pointing straight back.
Turn the key back 45 degrees to its starting
position. Remove the key from the lock cylin-
der and release the handle so that the rear
section of the handle is resting against the
car again.
5. Pull out the handle.
> The door opens.
Locking will be performed in the same way, but
with an anticlockwise turn 45 degrees instead of
clockwise in step (3).
Switching off the alarm
*
NOTE
When the door is unlocked using the key
blade and is then opened, the alarm is trig-
gered.
The backup reader's location in the cup holder.
Deactivate the alarm as follows:
1. Place the remote control key on the key sym-
bol in the backup reader in the bottom of the
cup holder in the tunnel console.
2. Then turn the start knob clockwise and
release it.
> The control automatically returns to its
starting position - the alarm signal stops
and the alarm switches off.
Locking
It is also possible to lock the car with the remote
control key's detachable key blade e.g. in the
event of a loss of power or if the key's battery
has become discharged.
The left-hand front door can be locked with its
lock cylinder and the detachable key blade.
Other doors have no lock cylinders and instead
have a lock switch on the end of each door which
must be depressed using the key blade - they are
then mechanically locked/blocked to prevent
them being opened from outside.
The doors can still be opened from the inside.
11 This applies whether the car is right-hand drive or left-hand drive.
