Automatic Central Locking - Mercedes-Benz 2005 M-Class Operator's Manual

Automatic central locking

The doors and the liftgate automatically
lock when the ignition is switched on and
the left front wheel turns at vehicle speeds
of approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or
more.
You can open a locked door from the in-
side. Open door only when conditions are
safe to do so.
If one of the front doors is then opened
from the inside, the vehicle is unlocked
centrally unless only the driver's door was
previously unlocked.
i
The doors unlock automatically after an
accident if the force of the impact ex-
ceeds a preset threshold.
To prevent the vehicle door locks from
locking, deactivate the automatic cen-
tral locking when the vehicle
is pushed or towed
is on a test stand
during a wheel change
You can deactivate the automatic locking
using the central locking switch.
