Opening and closing – from the inside
Use this button to operate the central
locking system when the front doors are
closed. The doors and luggage com-
partment lid are unlocked or locked
only. The antitheft alarm system is not
activated. Also, the fuel filler door re-
mains unlocked to allow refueling.
If you desire, the central locking
system will secure the locks as
soon as you start to drive. This can be
adjusted to be key-specific.<

If only the driver's door was un-
locked from the outside and you
press the button
> all other doors, the luggage compart-
ment lid and the fuel filler door will be
unlocked if the driver's door is open
> the driver's door will be locked again
if it is closed.<
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.
Doors locked from outside can be
opened from inside by first press-
ing the button and then pulling the re-
lease handle twice.<
To engage the locks
> Use the central locking button to lock
all of the doors simultaneously, or
> press down the individual door lock
buttons. The fuel filler door remains
then unlocked. As an added design
feature to prevent the driver from be-
ing inadvertently locked out of the ve-
hicle, the driver's door 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 open automatically in the
event of an accident. Children might be
able to lock the doors from the inside.
For this reason, always take the vehi-
cle's keys with you so that the vehicle
can be opened again from the outside
at any time.<
