Vehicle locking/unlocking from the inside
27In setting up and locking, all doors are unlocked or locked together by the central
locking system. The boot lid is unlocked. The luggage compartment lid can then
be opened by pressing the button.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the luggage compartment 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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. It is
also possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central locking but-
ton.
The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
Automatic locking and unlocking can be activated by a specialist garage on re-
quest.WARNINGLocked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. They do, however, make it more difficult for rescuers to
get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk 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.■
In case the key fails to operate the central locking, only the driver's door can be
unlocked or locked. The other doors and the tailgate can be manually locked or
unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 25.

Safe securing systemFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 25.
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors withthe door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent against attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
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.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the door can
be opened from the inside by a single pull on opening lever of the respective
door.
WARNINGIf the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then no longer pos-
sible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
You will be informed that the safe securing system has been activated after the
vehicle has been locked by means of the message on the instrument clus-
ter display.

With the remote control key, the vehicle can be locked or unlocked and the boot
lid unlocked.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or replaced, thesystem must be initialised by a specialist garage. Only then can the remote con-
trol key be used again.
Note
■ The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away » page 23.
■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.

there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!ABNoteOnly operate the remote control when the doors and luggage compartment lid
are closed and the vehicle is in your line of sight.
