Airbag System

The airbag system co nsist s of several
separate systems.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system will be triggered
in the event of a serious accident involving

a frontal impact an d forms safety cu shions
for the driver and front passenger. The

forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of

injuries to the uppe r body a nd head
thereby substantially reduced.

Side airbag system

T he side airbag is triggered in the even t of
a side-on collision to form a safety cushio n

for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially

reduces the risk of i njury to the upper body
and pelvis.

Fault

If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the radi o remote control,

it may be due to the follo wing:
z The range of the radio remote control

has been exceed ed.

z Radio remote control battery voltage is

too low.

z F requent, repeated operation of

the radio remote control out side the
reception range of the ve hicle (e.g. too

far from ve hicl e, remote control is th en
n o longer recognised). See remote

control synchr onisat ion.

z If the central locking system is

o verloaded as a result of repeated
o peration at short intervals. The power

s upply is cut off for a brief peri od .

z Interference from higher-power radio

waves fr om other sources.

To eliminate the cause of a fault, we
recommend contacting a workshop

for assistance.
Open driver’s door with key – see page 27.

K ey with fix ed blade, see Fi g. 15331 T o n
previous page.

Have the workshop change the battery.

In t he event of a functional i ty p roblem
or battery replacement, sy nchronize the

radio remote co ntrol.

After changing the battery, unlock the
door using the key in the lock, see overleaf.

The radio remote control i s synchr o nized
by inserting th e key in the ignit ion lock.

Remote control battery replacement

Replace the battery as soon as the range of
the radio remote control begins to shrin k.
