Locking the vehicle

E78282
WARNING
The vehicle does not lock itself
automatically. If no locking
button is pressed, the vehicle will
remain unlocked.
Note: Before leaving the vehicle,
ensure that the ignition switch is
pulled out. See Ignition switch
(page 141).
Note: A valid passive key must be
located within the detection range of
the respective door. If locking from
the tailgate, the passive key must be
within the tailgate detection range.
Note: Once activated, the vehicle
will remain locked for approximately
three seconds, even if the passive
key is within the detection range
during this delay period. This is to
allow you to pull a door handle and
check if the vehicle is locked. When
the delay period is over, the doors
can be opened again, provided the
passive key is within the respective
detection range. The delay period
can be set to zero by an expert.
