Locking

Valid for vehicles without a central locking system:
Locking from outside
The securing knob will move upwards or downwards in the door when unlocking
or locking.
Locking from inside
All closed vehicle doors are locked by pressing in the securing knobs from the
inside. The doors cannot be opened from the outside when the securing knobs
have been pressed in. The vehicle doors can be opened from the inside as follows:
the door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever;
The door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
Note
The opened door cannot be locked with the securing knob. This prevents the
possibility of forgetting the key in the locked vehicle.
The opened side doors at the rear and the front passenger door are locked by
pressing in the securing knob and slamming the door closed.
Please refer to the safety guidelines ⇒
in "Description" on page 39.

The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened from
the inside.
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety lock. You can switch the
child safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.

– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit in the rear door to the left in the
⇒ fig.
direction of the arrow 35.
Switching child safety lock off
– Use the vehicle key to turn the slit to the right against the direction of
the arrow.
So long as the child safety lock is switched on it is not possible to open the door
from the inside with the door opening lever. In this case the door can be opened
only from the outside.
