Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and the boot lid at the same time. The functions of the central locking
system can be individually adjusted » page 56.
After unlocking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting the following is
valid for the central locking. ▶ The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
▶ An double audible signal sounds additionally on vehicles which are fitted
with the anti-theft alarm system.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
▶ The interior lamp illuminates.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched off.
▶ The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
▶ The exterior mirrors are set into the driving position.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
After locking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting the following is
valid for the central locking. ▶ The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
▶ An audible signal sounds additionally on vehicles which are fitted with the
anti-theft alarm system.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked.
▶ The interior lamp goes out.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched on.
▶ The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
▶ The exterior mirrors are folded back into the park position.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the luggage compartment lid remain open after the vehicle has
been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
Protection against unwanted vehicle unlocking
If the vehicle is unlocked and a door or the boot lid not opened within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safe securing sys-
tem or anti-theft alarm system will be switched back on.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. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
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.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.

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 unlocking the vehicle again, the turn-signal
lights flash four times. If no door is opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle is
automatically 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 unlocked
(partially opened). The turn-signal lights flash four times as an indication that
the boot lid has been unlocked again. The boot lid remains released(partially

WARNINGDoors locked from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the
vehicle in an emergency – danger to life!
Safe securing system
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
As soon as the vehicle is locked from the outside, the safe lock prevents open-
ing the doors from the inside.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after switching out the ignition.
Check SAFELOCK! Owner's Manual!CHECK SAFELOCK
After locking the vehicle, the warning light in the driver's door flashes for
around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at
longer intervals.
Switching off
The safe lock can be switched off in one of the following ways.
▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ By disabling the button for interior monitoring and anti-towing » page 58.
The indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The SafeLock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
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
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!Individual settings

The anti-theft alarm system (hereinafter referred to as alarm system) increa-
ses protection against theft and break-in attempts into the vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 sec-
onds after the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
Triggering the alarm
The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶ Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.
▶ Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.
▶ Uncoupling the trailer.
If the driver's door of a vehicle is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder,
then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the button on the key or switching on
the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.

Repeated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to
overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a
short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the over-
heating protection has cooled down.
WARNING■ The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 63. If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of
injury!■
If the rear seats are accommodating people who are not completely inde-
pendent, e.g. children, it is recommended that the buttons in the rear doors
be disabled with button
E
for safety reasons.
CAUTION
■ In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause
there to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop
and move back several centimetres.■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.
■
Always close the windows before disconnecting the battery.
