Keyless* - unlocking 6
Unlocking with Keyless-drive takes place
when a hand grasps a door handle or the tail-
gate's rubberised pressure plate is actuated -
open the door or tailgate as normal.
NOTE
The door handles normally register a hand
that takes hold of the handle, but with
thick gloves on or after a very quick hand
movement a second attempt may be
required, or with the glove taken off.

Keyless* - unlocking with the key
blade
If central locking cannot be activated with the
remote control key, e.g. if the batteries are
discharged, then the left-hand front door can
be opened using the remote control key's
detachable key blade (p. 166).
Hole for key blade - to loosen the cover.
To access the lock cylinder, the door handle's
plastic cover must be removed - this is also
done with the key blade:
1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straight
up into the hole on the underside of the
door handle/cover - do not prize.
> The plastic cover loosens automati-
cally by means of the torque when the
blade is pushed straight up and into
the opening.
2. Then insert the key blade in the lock cyl-
inder and unlock the door.
3. Refit the plastic cover after unlocking.
NOTE
When the left-hand front door is unlocked
using the key blade and is opened, this
triggers the alarm (p. 181). It is switched
off by inserting the remote control key in
the ignition switch, see Alarm - remote
control key not working (p. 183).
