Opening and closing – from the inside

You can use this button to control the
central locking system whenever the
doors are closed. The doors and lug-
gage compartment lid are unlocked or
locked only. The anti-theft system is not
activated.

If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and

you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the passenger-
side door, the luggage compartment lid
and the fuel filler door will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.

If you desire, the central locking
system can be activated automati-

cally as soon as you begin to drive. This
can be adjusted to be key-specific.

To unlock and open the doors

> Either unlock the doors together with

the button for the central locking sys-
tem and then pull each of the release
handles above the armrests or

> pull the release handle for each door

twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.

To lock

> Either use the central locking button

to lock all doors at once or

> press down the individual door lock

buttons. The fuel filler door remains
unlocked. To prevent the driver from
being inadvertently locked out of the
vehicle, the driver's door lock button
will not engage as long as the door is
open.

Persons or animals inside the
vehicle may be able to lock the

doors from the inside. For this reason,
always take the vehicle keys with you
so that you can open the vehicle again
from the outside at any time.
