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 en-
gine or operate electrical equipment (such
as power windows), which increases the risk
of an accident.
— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer be opened from the inside
= page 31, 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 29. 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.

Key / vehicle key
The term “key” can refer to the remote control or
convenience key*, or to a mobile device.
The term “vehicle key” refers to the remote con-
trol key or convenience key*. The convenience
238
key* is a remote control key with special func-
tions > page 33 and > page 80.
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 vehicle will unlock again if the unlock func-
tion in the central locking switch is pressed, one
of the door handles is pulled, the “P” gear is en-
gaged, or the ignition is switched off.
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 one of the front doors.
—If the most recently used convenience key” is
inside the luggage compartment, the luggage
compartment lid will automatically open again
after closing it.
— If the last convenience key* that was used is de-
tected inside the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be
locked from the outside for a brief time > ©.

If the anti-theft alarm system detects a vehicle
break-in, audio and visual warning signals are

cle. If the alarm is triggered, it will shut off auto-
matically after a certain amount of time.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the anti-
theft alarm system may have the following fea-
tures:

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).
