The central locking system
will only work correctly
when all doors and the tailgate are closed properly.
The
vehicle cannot be locked with the key if the
driver door is open .
In vehicles with the Keyless Access locking and
starting system, the
veh icle can only be locked
when the ignition has been switched
off and the
driver door is closed .
If the vehicle is unlocked and not used for a long
time (e.g. in your own garage) the
vehicle battery
could discharge
or the engine may not start.

A WARNING
Improper use of the central locking system
could cause serious injury.
• The central locking system locks all
doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside
may prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally and unauthorised persons
from entering the vehicle . However, locked
doors can delay assistance to passengers in­
side the vehicle in the event of an accident or
emergency.
• Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors can
be
locked from the inside using the central
locking button. This may mean that people
lock themselves in the vehicle. People locked
in the vehicle may be subjected to very high
or very low temperatures.
• Depending on the time of year, locked ve­
hicles can be subjected to very high or very
low temperatures. This can cause serious in­
juries and illness or fatalities, especially for
small children.
• Never leave anyone inside a locked vehi­
cle. People in the vehicle could become trap­
ped in an emergency and may not be able to
get themselves to safety.
Description of the central locking system
r-('n First read and observe the introductory
L-Jr=JJ information and safety warnings & on
page 46.
The central locking system enables you to lock and
unlock
all the doors, the tailgate and tank flap from
one central point:
• From outside the vehi cle with the vehicle key
~page 47.
• From outside the vehicle with Keyless-Access
~page 49.
• From inside the vehicle with the central locking
button ~page 48.
Certain central locking functions can be activated
or deactivated in the infotainm ent system using the
@ill button and the~ and (Open and Clos e) function
buttons =>page 31, or the vehicle can be taken to a~
qualifi ed work shop .

The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta­
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de­
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu­
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec­
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog­
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc­
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be­
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam­
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig­
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.
