The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors and the lug-
gage compartment lid at the same time » page 44.
The safe securing system » page 42 is integrated in the central locking sys-
tem. Once the car is locked from the outside, the door locks 1)
are automatically
blocked by the safe securing system »
.
The following is true after unlocking
› All the doors and the boot lid are unlocked.
› The interior light operated via the door contact illuminates.
› The safe securing system is switched off 1)
.
› The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
The following is true after locking
› All the doors and the luggage compartment lid are locked.
› The interior light operated via the door contact goes out.
› The safe securing system is switched on 1)
.
› The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
Fault display
If the warning light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then illuminates for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.

This function only applies to certain countries.
39Unlocking and opening
Page 43 of 164
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If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again.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
button.
The vehicle doors can be unlocked and opened at any time by pulling once on
the door opening lever.
Failure of the central locking
If the central locking system fails only the driver's door can be unlocked or
locked with the key. The other doors and the boot lid can be emergency locked
or unlocked.
› Emergency locking of the door
» page 133.
› Emergency unlocking of the luggage compartment lid
» page 134.WARNING■
Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - there is a danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of injury and accidents! These individu-
als might also not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help
themselves. Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
■
If the car is locked from the outside and the safelock system is switched
on, there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible 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.
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ig-
nition lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking does react to the remote
control at less than around 3 metres away » page 133.
■
When leaving the vehicle, always check if it is locked.■If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
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
vehicle.
