Locking / Unlocking Vehicle with Transmitter Key
For the above models, the following information reflects the functions of the radio remote control for the central locking that have been modified since the market launch.
Vehicles up to August 31, 2002 Production (all model years up to and including 2002):
^ Pushing the "Unlock" button once unlocks the driver door AND the filler cap.
^ Pushing the "Unlock" button twice unlocks all doors, the tailgate and the filler cap.
Vehicles as of September 1, 2002 Production (model years 2003 and 2004):
As of this production date, the transmitter key can now be used for both "Global" and "Selective" unlocking.
^ When set to "Global", all doors, the tailgate and the fuel filler flap are unlocked by pushing the "Unlock" button once.
^ When set to "Selective", only the driver door and the fuel filler flap are unlocked by pushing the "Unlock" button once. The other doors and the tailgate are only unlocked if the "Unlock" button is pushed a second time.
The "Global" or "Selective" function is coded in the All-Activity-Module (N10). This setting cannot be altered by the customer and needs to be coded via STAR DIAGNOSIS.
Note:
Manufacturer default setting for USA models is "Selective".
Vehicles as of September 1, 2003 Production (model year 2004):
If the vehicle is unlocked and only the tailgate is open:
Upon pushing the "Lock" button, the tailgate latch is locked along with the doors. Thus, the entire vehicle is locked after the tailgate is closed. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to push the "Lock" button a second time after closing the tailgate.
Note:
This function can be reverted to the former method of locking the tailgate, used prior to September 1, 2003 via STAR DIAGNOSIS.
