Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm, or other button cells, can result in severe or even fatal injuries within a very short period of time.
Always keep the vehicle key, key ring with batteries, spare batteries, round cells and other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of the
reach of children.
Call for medical help immediately you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.
DANGER
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or third parties could lock the doors and tailgate, start the
engine or switch on the ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and
may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures,
according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer
be able to steer the vehicle.

Description of the central locking system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
The central locking system enables you to lock or unlock all the doors, the tailgate and tank flap from one central point:
From outside the vehicle with the vehicle key  → Locking and unlocking the vehicle from the outside   .
From inside the vehicle with the central locking button  → Locking and unlocking the vehicle from the inside   .
Certain central locking functions can be activated or deactivated in the infotainment system using the button and the and
Opening and closing function buttons  → Menu and system settings (SETUP)   , or the vehicle can be taken to a qualified workshop.
The doors, the tailgate and the tank flap can be locked or unlocked manually if the vehicle key or central locking system fails  → Manual opening
and closing   .
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The vehicle may lock itself automatically at speeds of approximately 15 km/h (10 mph) and above  → Menu and system settings (SETUP)   . The
indicator lamp  in the central locking button will light up yellow when the vehicle is locked  → Fig. 28 .
Automatic unlocking (Auto Unlock)
In some cases, the vehicle automatically unlocks all doors and the tailgate. This will happen in any of the following situations  → Menu and system
settings (SETUP)   .
The vehicle is at a standstill and the vehicle key has been removed.
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox: the selector lever is in position P and the ignition has been switched off.
In an accident, when airbags have triggered  → Manual opening and closing   .
Automatic unlocking gives emergency response crew access to the vehicle.
If the buttons on the vehicle key  → Fig. 26  or  → Fig. 27  or one of the central locking buttons  → Fig. 28  are pressed repeatedly within a
short period of time, the central locking system will switch off briefly to prevent overloading. The vehicle is then unlocked for approximately 30
seconds. If the doors or the tailgate are not opened during this time the vehicle will lock again automatically.

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have a SAFELOCK mechanism and an anti-theft alarm  → Anti-theft alarm   .
The SAFELOCK mechanism deactivates the door opening levers if the vehicle has been locked. This makes it more difficult to break into the
vehicle. The doors can no longer be opened from the inside  → .

once the SAFELOCK mechanism is activated.
Locked doors make it more difficult for emergency service personnel to gain access to the vehicle and provide assistance when needed. In
an emergency, people locked inside the vehicle would not be able to leave the vehicle by unlocking the doors.

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have an anti-theft alarm and a SAFELOCK mechanism  → SAFELOCK mechanism   .
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked using the vehicle key.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm will sound an acoustic alarm for approximately 30 seconds and trigger a visible warning for up to 5 minutes if any of the
following unauthorised actions are performed while the vehicle is locked:
In vehicles with an open lock cylinder: a door unlocked mechanically with the vehicle key is opened and the ignition is not switched on within
approximately 15 seconds.
In vehicles with a covered lock cylinder: a door unlocked mechanically with the vehicle key is opened.
A door is opened.
The bonnet is opened.
The tailgate is opened.
The ignition is switched on using an invalid key.
The vehicle battery is disconnected.
There is movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles with interior monitoring)  → Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm   .
The vehicle is towed (vehicles with anti-tow alarm)  → Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm   .
The vehicle is lifted (vehicles with anti-tow alarm)  → Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm   .
The vehicle is transported on a car ferry or by rail (vehicles with anti-tow alarm or interior monitoring)  → Interior monitoring system and anti-
tow alarm   .
A trailer that is connected to the anti-theft alarm system is removed  → Towing a trailer   .
Switching off the alarm
Unlock the vehicle using the release button on the vehicle key or switch on the ignition using a valid vehicle key.
The alarm will be triggered again if a person gains access to the same or a different secured zone after the alarm has been switched off.
For example, if the tailgate is opened after a door had been opened.
The anti-theft alarm will not be activated if the vehicle is locked from the inside using the central locking button  .
If you unlock the driver door mechanically using the vehicle key, only the driver door is unlocked, and not the whole vehicle. The
SAFELOCK mechanism on all doors is not deactivated and the central locking button is not activated until you switch on the ignition (however the
doors will not be unlocked).
The anti-theft alarm will not function correctly if the vehicle battery is weak or discharged.
