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

1. Press the button for the central lock-

ing system

2. Pull the release handle above the

armrest on the door you wish to open

pull the release handle for any door
twice: to unlock and open the door.

To lock

> Either use the central locking button

to lock both doors at once or

> press the individual door lock buttons

down. In this case, the fuel filler door
will stay 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 the vehicle can be opened again
from the outside at any time.
