The following applies if your vehicle has been locked using the central locking
button.

It is not possible to open the doors or the luggage compartment lid from the
outside (safety feature, e.g. when stopping at traffic lights etc.).
›
The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
›
If at least one door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
›
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked from the inside in order to enable rescuers to gain
access to the vehicle.
WARNING
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off. Chil-
dren should never be left unattended in the vehicle since it is difficult to pro-
vide assistance from the outside when the doors are locked. Doors locked
from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emer-
gency – risk to life!
Note
If the safe securing system is activated
central locking buttons do not operate.
