 Troubleshooting
The central locking system locks all doors and the boot lid of the vehicle. The vehicle cannot be
locked if the driver door is open.
The vehicle can only be locked if the ignition has been switched off or the driver has switched off
the engine before leaving the vehicle.
Automatic locking (anti-theft protection)
The vehicle will lock itself again automatically after around 45 seconds if one of the following
conditions applies:
• The vehicle was unlocked but not opened.
• The ignition was not switched on.
• The boot lid was not opened.
• The vehicle has been unlocked using the lock cylinder.
• The vehicle was locked with the central locking button in the vehicle interior.
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.
