WARNING
When the child safety lock is switched on, the respective door can not be
opened from the inside.
Never leave children or persons requiring help inside the vehicle when the
■
doors are locked. This may cause these people to get trapped in the vehicle. In
an emergency, they would not be able to leave the vehicle alone or to help
themselves. Trapped persons can be exposed to very high or very low temper-
atures.
Depending on the season, very high or low temperatures may develop in a
■
closed vehicle, causing serious injuries and illness or death especially in young
children.
Central locking system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Description of the central locking system
Manually unlocking or locking the driver's door
Central locking button
Manually unlocking the front passenger door and rear doors
The central locking system only works properly if all the doors and the boot lid are
completely closed. The vehicle can not be locked with the vehicle key when the
driver's door is open.
Longer times of an unlocked vehicle (for example, in your own garage) can cause
the vehicle battery to discharge so that the engine can no longer be started.
WARNING
Improper use of the central locking system can cause serious injury.
The central locking system locks all doors. Locking a vehicle from the inside
■
may prevent undesired opening of doors and intrusion by unauthorized per-
sons. In an emergency or in case of an accident, however, locked doors make
it difficult for helpers to access the passenger compartment to help people.

Using the system
WARNING (Continued)
Never allow children or people requiring help alone in the vehicle. With the
■
central locking button, all doors can be locked from the inside. This may result
in trapping yourself in the vehicle. Trapped persons can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
Depending on the season, very high or low temperatures may develop in a
■
closed vehicle, causing serious injuries and illness or death especially in young
children.
Never leave people in a locked vehicle. In an emergency, these persons are
■
unable to leave the vehicle alone or to help themselves.
