Drive-Away Locking

Drive-away locking (Auto Lock) is factory set to active (Refer
to 'Personalization', page 2.20).
When drive-away locking is active the central locking system
will automatically engage as the vehicle moves off. Both
doors and the trunk will lock. This function prevents
unwanted access to the vehicle when stopped at traffic lights
etc.
One pull of a door handle will centrally unlock both doors,
a second pull of the door handle will open that door.
In the event of a vehicle accident the doors will automatically
unlock.
