Applies to: vehicles with Keyless Access locking and starting system: the vehicle can be locked only when the ignition has been
switched off OR the driver has switched off the engine before leaving the vehicle.
Leaving the vehicle stationary and unlocked for long periods can discharge the vehicle battery and prevent the engine from starting.

Automatic locking (anti-theft protection)

If the vehicle is unlocked but not opened, it will be locked again automatically after around 45 seconds.
WARNING
Improper use of the central locking system could lead to serious injury.
The central locking system locks all doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside can prevent accidental opening of the doors and
unauthorised persons from entering the vehicle. However, locked doors can delay assistance to passengers inside the vehicle in the event
of an accident or emergency.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside using the central locking
button. This may mean that people lock themselves in the vehicle. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or very low
temperatures.
Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness
or fatalities, especially to small children.
Never leave anyone inside a locked vehicle. People in the vehicle could become trapped in an emergency and may not be able to get
themselves to safety.
Doors and the boot lid should therefore be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is in their path.
