from that can cause engine misfires . Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter .

ceeded approx imately 9 mph (1S km/h) .
The vehicle can be unlocked if the openi ng func­
tion in the centra l locking system sw itch is used
or one of the door handles is pulled. The A uto
L ock function can be switched on and off in the
Infotainment system
c::> page 28.
I n t he event of a crash with a irbag deployment ,
t he doors will a lso automat ically unlock to allow
access to the veh icle .
Selective unlocking
The doors and luggage compartment lid w ill lock
when they close. You can set in the Infotainment
