▶ 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.

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.
53Unlocking and opening

Unlocking / locking - KESSYFig. 39
The front door handle
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables unlocking and
locking of the vehicle without actively using the remote control key » Fig. 39.
The sensors for unlocking or locking are located in the handle of the front
door.
Unlocking
Locking
When unlocking or locking the vehicle, the key must be at a maximum distance
of approximately 1.5 m from the front door handle.
Locking
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved
into the position P before unlocking.
The vehicle cannot be locked from the outside if the ignition has not been
turned off.
After locking the car, it is not possible to unlock 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 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
opened).
The following message is shown in the information cluster display.Key in vehicle.KEY IN VEHICLE
CAUTION
■ Some types of gloves can affect the unlocking or locking device in the door
handle.■
There is no automatic locking after leaving the car.
Locking and unlocking the vehicle with the central locking button
Fig. 40
Central locking button
Read and observe and on page 53 first.
When the vehicle has not been locked from outside and no door is open, the
button 
» Fig. 40 can be used to unlock or lock the vehicle.

opening lever of the respective door. 
55Unlocking and opening

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
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
The following functions of the central locking system can be set individually in
the Infotainment » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - Car settings.

located. The other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked when the unlock-
ing is repeated.
Unlocking a vehicle side door
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 makes possible the re-
lease of both doors on one side as well as the fuel filler flap, depending on the
area in which the key is located. The other doors and the boot lid are only un-
locked when the unlocking is repeated.
Unlock all doors
This function allows you to unlock all doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap.
Automatic locking/unlocking

the holder of the interior mirror sensor. Do not attach any stickers or similar
objects in front of the light sensor on the windscreen in order to avoid impair-
ing the function or its reliability.■
