Description
You can lock and unlock the veh icle centrally . You
have the following options:
- Remote control key
c> page 25,
-Sensors in the door handles* c> page 26,
-Inner central locking switch c> page 2 7, or
- Lock cylinder on the driver's door
c> page 28.
Turn signals
The turn s ignals flash tw ice when you un lock the
veh icle and flash once when you lock the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked and the flashing contin­
ues, then
- one of the doors or the luggage compa rtment
lid is open,
- the ignition is still switched on, or
- the P selector lever position (vehicles with au -
tomat ic transmission*) is not engaged.
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) .
T he vehicle can be unlocked if the opening func­
tion in the central locking system switch is used,
one of the door handles is pulled or the ignition key is removed.
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.

when they close. You can set in the Infotainment
system if
only the driver's door or the entire vehi ­
cle shou ld unlock when unlocking

key or convenience key* until all doors and the
luggage compartment lid are closed . This helps
to prevent you from locking yourself out acc iden­

will prevent passengers (children, for exam­
ple) from accidenta lly being locked in the

hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
- The LED in the driver's door rail blinks when
you lock the vehicle . If the LED lights up for
