Opening and closing: from inside

You can operate the central locking
system with this button when the
driver's door is closed. The doors and
liftgate are unlocked or locked only.
However, the anti-theft system is not
activated. Also, the fuel filler door
remains unlocked to allow refueling.

You have the option of setting the
central locking system to lock

automatically as soon as you move off.
This can be adjusted to be key-
specific.

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

you press the button
>

all other doors, the liftgate/tailgate
and the fuel filler door will be
unlocked when the driver's door is
opened

the driver's door will be locked again
when it is closed.

Unlocking and opening doors

Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking sys-
tem and then pull the door handle
above the armrest or

pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.

Locking

Use the central locking button to lock
all of the doors simultaneously, or

press down the individual safety lock
buttons. As an added design feature
to prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle,
the driver's safety lock button will not
engage as long as the door is open.

When the vehicle is moving, do
not lock the doors with the safety

lock buttons. Doors locked in this man-
ner would not unlock automatically in
the event of an accident.
Since passengers or animals remaining
in the vehicle might be able to lock the
doors from the inside, take the vehicle's
keys with you so that the vehicle can be
opened again from the outside at any
time.
