Opening and closing
Automatic locking
The vehicle will lock itself once you have
pulled away.
You can open a door from the inside at any
time, even if it has been locked.
i
The doors unlock automatically in the event
of an accident if the force of the impact exceeds
a predetermined level.
The vehicle is locked automatically when the ig-
nition is switched on and the wheels begin to
turn. You could therefore lock yourself out when
the vehicle is being pushed or is on a dynamom-
eter.
You may switch off the automatic locking
function using COMAND ( page 208).
Locking and unlocking the vehicle
from the inside
You can lock or unlock the vehicle centrally
from the inside with the central locking or
unlocking button. This feature may be use-
ful if, for example, you wish to unlock the
front-passenger door from the inside or
lock the vehicle before pulling away.
