OPENING AND CLOSING – FROM OUTSIDE

Via the door lock

1. One turn of the key in the driver's

door lock unlocks the driver’s door only

2. Turning the key a second time unlocks

the other door, the tailgate and the fuel
filler door.

If the vehicle has been properly locked, the
hazard warning system flashes once.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the hazard
warning system does not react.

Do not lock the vehicle if there are
passengers still inside, because they

cannot unlock the doors.

Turn the key to the extreme left or right to
unlock/lock the door.

You can also operate the power windows
and the sliding/tilt sunroof via the door
lock.

To open: with the door closed, turn the
key to the "Unlock" position and hold it

To close: with the door closed, turn the
key to the "Lock" position and hold it.

Watch during the closing process to
be sure that no one is injured.

Releasing the key stops the operation.
