ZA WARNING
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the key with you. This applies
particularly when children remain in the ve-
hicle. Otherwise, children could start the ve-
hicle or operate electrical equipment (such
as power windows), which increases the risk
of an accident.

— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside
= page 37, Anti-theft alarm system.
Locked doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to enter the vehicle,
which puts lives at risk.
All doors and the luggage compartment lid can
be centrally unlocked and locked at once. You can
select in the MMI if the entire vehicle or only the
driver's door should unlock when unlocking the
vehicle > page 35. The turn signals flash twice
when you unlock the vehicle and flash once when
you lock the vehicle. If they do not flash when
locking, check if all doors and lids are closed.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may
have different options for centrally unlocking and
locking your vehicle.

Vehicle key
The term “vehicle key” refers to the remote con-
trol key or convenience key*. The convenience
key* is a remote control key with special func-
tions > page 39 and > page 103.

Automatic locking
If you unlock the vehicle but then do not open
any of the doors, the luggage compartment, or
the hood within a short period time, the vehicle
locks again automatically. This feature prevents
the vehicle from being accidentally left unlocked
for a long period of time.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex-
ceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). The ve-
hicle will unlock again if the unlock function in
the central locking switch is pressed, the “P” gear
is engaged, or the ignition is switched off.
You can open the doors individually from the in-
side by pulling the door handle one time. To open
the rear doors individually, you must pull the
door handle twice.
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and
the luggage compartment lid are closed and
there is no key in the vehicle. This reduces the
risk of locking yourself out accidentally.
The
following features help to reduce the risk of
locking your vehicle key in the vehicle:
—If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by pressing the & button on the re-
mote control key or by touching the locking
sensor* on a door.
— If the vehicle key that was used most recently is
inside the luggage compartment, the luggage
compartment lid will automatically open again
after it closes >@.
— If the vehicle key that was last used is detected
inside the vehicle, then the vehicle cannot be
locked from the outside > ©.

Z\ WARNING
Observe the safety precautions > page 34. >

Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm system

If the anti-theft alarm system detects a vehicle
break-in, audio and visual warning signals are
triggered. The anti-theft alarm system is switch-

doors, hood, and/or luggage compartment lid.
Interior/towing protection monitor
The alarm will be triggered if there are move-
ments detected in the vehicle interior (for exam-
ple, by animals) or if there is a change in the vehi-
cle angle (for example, when the vehicle is being
towed).
You can prevent the alarm from being triggered
by deactivating the interior/towing protection
monitor.

vehicle when it is locked from the outside, be-
cause the windows can no longer be opened
from the inside. Locked doors make it more
difficult for emergency workers to enter the
vehicle, which puts lives at risk.

ly functions correctly when the windows and
the roof* are closed.

ZA WARNING
If batteries or coin cell batteries are swal-
lowed or enter the body in any other way, they
can cause serious or fatal injuries within a
short period of time. There is a risk of chemi-
cal burns.
— Keep vehicle keys and key fobs with batter-
ies out of the reach of children.
— Keep new or used batteries away from chil-
dren.
— If the battery compartment on a vehicle key
does not close securely, stop using the key
and keep it away from children.
— Seek medical attention immediately if you
suspect that a battery was swallowed or has
entered the body in any other way.

ing
methods that will not harm the environ-
ment. Do not dispose of them in household

Luggage compartment
lid
General information

inside it. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or around the vehi-
ley
—To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,
make sure that no one is in the operating
area of the luggage compartment lid, in-
cluding the hinge areas and the upper and
lower edge of the luggage compartment lid.
— After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that it is latched. The luggage
compartment lid could open suddenly while
driving, which would increase the risk of an
accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
from the surrounding area can enter the ve-
hicle interior and increase the risk of asphyx-
iation.
— If there is a luggage rack (such as a bicycle
rack) on the luggage compartment lid, the
luggage compartment lid may not open
completely under certain circumstances or it
could close by itself if open due to the extra
weight. Therefore, the open luggage com-
partment lid must be given additional sup-
port or the cargo must first be removed
from the luggage rack.
— Applies to vehicles with power-operated or
sensor-controlled luggage compartment lid:
Pay careful attention when closing the lug-
gage compartment lid. Otherwise, you could
cause serious injury to yourself or others de-
spite the pinch protection.


ZA\ WARNING
— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside
= page 37. Locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for emergency workers to enter the ve-
hicle, which puts lives at risk.
— Always close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors when the vehicle is
not in use. Otherwise someone such as a
child could enter the vehicle through the
luggage compartment and become locked

@) Note
The luggage compartment lid can bump into
objects such as the garage ceiling when open-
ing and become damaged.
@) Tips
— When the vehicle is locked, the luggage
compartment lid can be unlocked separately
by pressing the “S button twice on the vehi-
cle key. The luggage compartment lid locks
automatically when it is closed again.

ment lid using the handle can be deactivat-
ed or activated in the MMI > page 35.

Sitting correctly and safely

— The upper edge of the head restraint is as even
as possible with the top of your head

back of the head
— The head restraints in any occupied rear seats
are all the way up

Z\ WARNING
— There is one head restraint for each seat. All
vehicle occupants must adjust the head re-
straint correctly before every trip. Having
head restraints that are not adjusted cor-
rectly or not installed in the vehicle increas-
es the risk of a neck injury during sudden or
unexpected driving or braking maneuvers or
in a collision.
— Only remove the rear seat head restraints if
it is necessary to install a child safety seat
=> page 84. Stow the removed head re-
straints securely, for example in the luggage
compartment. Reinstall the head restraints
immediately once the child safety seat has
been removed. Driving without head re-
straints increases the risk of serious neck in-
juries.
