If I unlock\lock then both lamps in rear view mirror (green/Red) will blink for almost 1 minute.

Normally only the green for unlock and the red for lock blinks.

Have no manuals with the car, any idea's what this means?
 
I don't have this version, but I'm sure it means the batteries in your remote key are going low . . so I would replace them if I were you !!

I have read

"When the red and green indicator lamps flash for approximately 30 seconds when locking or unlocking the vehicle, then the batteries in the remote control should be changed. "


Cheers
 
I concurr,
Definatly batterys in your remote.Dont leave it too long before replacing them though, otherwise it wont switch off your immobiliser.
WARNING !! You are on borrowed time with these batterys

These guys are right.

I learnt the hard way. It cost me £182.70p for a Mercedes Engineer to come out on an emergency, and all he did was change my batteries in the key fob (*git*).

Oh well........
