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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.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.
