Unlocking and locking
•
The driver's door cannot be locked using the central locking system when
it is still open. The door must be locked separately after it has been closed.
This helps to prevent you from being locked out of the vehicle.
Central locking switch
The central locking system can be enabled from inside the
vehicle using the central locking switch on the driver's door.

The doors and the tailgate cannot be opened from the outside (for secu-
rity reasons, e.g. when stopped at traffic lights).
•
You can open the doors individually from the inside by pulling the inside
door handle.
•
When the driver's door is open, it cannot be locked by pressing the central
locking switch and then closing the door. This helps to prevent you from
being locked out of the vehicle. The door has to be locked separately after it
has been closed.
•
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, doors locked from
the inside will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
WARNING
The central locking switch is still operative when the ignition is switched
off. This switch can be used to automatically lock all the doors and the boot
lid. However, since this makes it difficult to enter the car from the outside,
you should never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Note
The central locking switch inside the vehicle will not be operative if the anti-
theft mechanism has been enabled.
