Emergency release for ignition key
In the event of a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical
system, it may no longer be possible to remove the igni-
tion key.
If you are not able to remove the ignition key because the
vehicle battery has discharged (for example), remove the
key as follows:
– Press the release catch ⇒ fig. 32 using a ball-point
pen or a similar object and pull the emergency key out
of the remote control key.
– Use the emergency key to lock the vehicle ⇒ page 45.
– Have the vehicle's electrical system checked by a quali-
fied workshop.
Starting the vehicle with the spare key
– Open the glove box and take out the adapter for the spare
key ⇒ fig. 33 -arrow-.
– Insert the spare key ⇒ fig. 34 all the way into the adapter.
Please note that the key will only engage in one position.
– Press the spare key lightly into the adapter until you hear
it click into place.
– Insert the adapter, spare key first, into the ignition lock.
You should now be able to start the engine in the usual
way.
