Unlocking or locking of driver door
Fig. 6 Driver door lever: hidden lock cylinder.
If the central locking system should fail to op-
erate, the driver door can still be locked and
unlocked by turning the key in the lock.
As a general rule, when the driver door is
locked manually all other doors are locked.
When it is unlocked manually, only the driver
door opens. Please observe the instructions
relating to the anti-theft alarm system
››› page 133.

●Insert the key shaft into the lower opening in
the cover on the driver door handle ››› Fig. 6
(arrow) then remove the cover upwards.
●Insert the key blade into the lock cylinder to
unlock or lock the vehicle.
Special characteristics
●The anti-theft alarm will remain active
when vehicles are unlocked. However, the
alarm will not be triggered ››› page 133.
●After the driver door is opened, you have 15
seconds to switch on the ignition. Once this
time has elapsed, the alarm is triggered.
●Switch the ignition on. The electronic immo-
bilizer recognises a valid vehicle key and de-
activates the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked manually using the
key shaft ››› page 133.

out door cylinder

●Insert the key in the inside slot and turn it to
the right as far as it will go (if the door is on
