Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Safe securing system
Unlocking the vehicle using the key
Locking the vehicle with the key
Vehicle locking/unlocking from the inside
When using central locking or unlocking, all doors are locked or unlocked simulta-
neously. The luggage compartment lid is unlocked. The luggage compartment lid
can then be opened by pressing the button.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the luggage compartment lid are locked automatically once the
car reaches a speed of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. It is
also possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central locking but-
ton.
The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
Automatic locking and unlocking can be activated by a specialist garage on re-
quest.
WARNING
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. They do, however, make it more difficult for rescuers to
get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
■
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi-
cle.
If the central locking fails, only the driver's door can be locked or unlocked using
■
the key. The other doors and the luggage compartment can be locked or unlocked
23
manually.

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 23.
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The
warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-
gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with
the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent against attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30 seconds.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the door can
be opened from the inside by a single pull on opening lever of the respective
door.
