Unlocking and locking
So long as the child safety lock is switched on it is not possible to open the door
from the inside with the door opening lever. In this case the door can be opened
only from the outside.
Central locking system
Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the
same time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It
can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate ⇒ p age 33.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:
● from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒ p age 31;
● using the buttons for the central locking system ⇒ p age 32;
● with a remote control key ⇒ p age 34,
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒ p age 30 is not operating,
the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and
starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights
up for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of
the central locking or the interior monitor ⇒ p age 36. Visit a specialist garage to
obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒ p age 37.
Opening a single door
This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors
remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a
speed of about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. The
driver can also unlock the vehicle by pressing the button of the central locking
system.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents that doors open on their own in an exceptional sit-
uation (accident). Locked doors also prevent unauthorised entry into the vehi-
cle from outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however,
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency -
danger to life!
Note
● In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi-
cle.
● Only the front door which is fitted with a locking cylinder can be unlocked and
locked using the key if the central locking system fails. You can lock or unlock
manually the other doors and the boot lid.
– Emergency locking of the door ⇒ p age 32.
– Emergency unlocking of the boot lid ⇒ p age 33.
Safe securing
The central locking system can be equipped with a safe securing system. Locking
the vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked.
The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it
begins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with
the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system by locking twice within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30°seconds.
