Read and observe
on page 50 first.
If the boot lid is unlocked with the symbol button on the remote control
key, then the door is automatically locked after closing.
The period after which the boot lid is locked automatically can be extended by
a specialist garage.
After activation of delayed locking, the boot lid can be opened again after clos-

Delayed locking can be deactivated by a specialist garage at any time.

There is a risk of unwanted entry into the vehicle before the boot lid is locked
automatically. We therefore recommend locking the vehicle with the symbol
button on the remote control key.
