WARNING■Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ised persons (e.g. children) could lock the vehicle, turn on the ignition or
start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.

After locking the car, it is not possible to unlock it within the next 2 seconds by touching the door handle. This can be used to check whether the vehicle is
locked.
Protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If one of the doors is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which
the vehicle was locked remains in the passenger compartment, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked. After automatically unlocking, the turn signal lights
will flash four times. If no door is opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle is au-
tomatically locked again.
If the boot lid is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which the vehicle was locked remains in the luggage compartment, the lid is automatical-
ly unlatched (partially opened). After automatically unlocking, the turn signal
lights will flash four times. The boot lid remains unlatched (partially opened);
the other doors remain locked.
CAUTION

SafeLockRead and observe
and on page 45 first.
SafeLock prevents the doors from behind opened from inside as well as win-
dow operation. This makes an attempted break-in to the vehicle more difficult.
Activating
SafeLock is activated when the vehicle is locked from the outside.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.
Check SAFELOCK! Log book!CHECK SAFELOCK
Activation display
When SafeLock is activated the warning light in the driver's door flashes for 2
seconds in rapid succession, then starts to flash at longer intervals.
Deactivating
▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection
» page 49 .
The warning light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2 seconds, then
goes out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the SafeLock system is switched off, the door can
be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on the opening lever.
The SafeLock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the SafeLock system activated, no-one may remain
in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or open a
window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescu-
ers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Individual settings
Read and observe
and on page 45 first.
The following functions of the central locking system can be set individually in
the Infotainment » Owner's Manual Infotainment .
All doors
The function allows you to unlock all doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap.
Single door
The function allows you to only unlock the driver's door and the fuel filler flap
with the radio remote control. KESSY allows the unlocking of a single door
which is in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The other doors
and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is unlocked or
touched.
Doors on a vehicle side
This function enables you to unlock both doors on the driver's side and the
fuel filler flap with the radio remote control unit. KESSY allows the unlocking of
both doors which are in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The
other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is un-
locked or touched.
Automatic locking/unlocking
This function enables the locking of all doors and the boot lid from a speed of
15 km / h. Opening the doors and the boot lid from the outside is not possible.
The renewed unlocking of the doors and the boot lid is carried out when the
ignition key is removed or when the door is opened from inside (depending on
the individual setting for the central locking system).

WARNING■Always close the window carefully and in a controlled manner. Otherwise
these could cause severe crushing injuries.■
Power windows in the driver's door and the rear doors are equipped with
a force limiter (only applies to the Variant 2 ) » page 52 . If there is an ob-
stacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by sever-
al centimetres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk
of injury.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean (free of ice and similar) to ensure the correct func-
tionality of the electric windows.■
Always close the electric windows before disconnecting the battery.
Note
If the windows are opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle
and in addition the wind noise is more at certain speeds.

Force limiter
Read and observe
and on page 51 first.
Only version 2 of the power windows is equipped with the power limiter
(does not apply to the passenger window).
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes
down by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only not operational if you attempt to close the window
again within the next 10 seconds – the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING■ Variant 1 of the power window » Fig. 39 on page 51 has no force limiter.
The windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
The passenger window in variant 2 of the power window » Fig. 39 on
page 51 has no force limiter. The window should nevertheless be closed
carefully – risk of injury!
Malfunctions
