Car Pass

The Car Pass contains security related vehicle data and should therefore be kept in a safe place.

When the vehicle is taken to a workshop, this vehicle data is needed in order to perform certain operations.

Radio remote control

Used to operate:

● central locking system 3 26

● load compartment 3 35

● anti-theft locking system 3 37

● anti-theft alarm system 3 38

The remote control has a range of approx. five metres. It can be restricted by external influences. The hazard warning flashers confirm operation.

Handle with care, protect it from moisture and high temperatures and avoid unnecessary operation.

Depending on model, the vehicle may use a 2-button or 3-button remote control or an electronic key which includes the functionality of the remote control.

Electronic key system 3 24.

Fault

If the central locking system cannot be operated with the remote control, it may be due to the following:

● The range is exceeded.

● The battery voltage is too low.

● Frequent, repeated operation of the remote control while not in range, which will require reprogramming by a workshop.

● Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent intervals; the power supply is interrupted for a short time.

● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.

Manual key operation 3 26.

Remote control battery replacement

Replace the battery as soon as the range reduces.

Batteries do not belong in household waste. They must be disposed of at an appropriate recycling collection point.

Note Do not put the electronic key in the load compartment during driving, as this is outside of the detection zone

(indicated by a warning chime at low speed 3 104 and a message in the Driver Information Centre 3 103).

Note In the event the electronic key is kept in the front passenger compartment and a message appears in the Driver Information Centre (possibly accompanied by a warning chime) indicating that it is out of reception range, we recommend inserting the electronic key in the card reader.

Note If the electronic key is not detected in the front passenger compartment after opening and closing a door with the engine running, a message appears in the Driver Information Centre (accompanied by a warning chime when a certain speed is exceeded), indicating that it is out of reception range.

This helps you avoid, e.g., driving off after dropping off a passenger who has the electronic key.

The message disappears when the electronic key is detected again.
