Automatic central locking
The doors and the trunk lock automatically
when the vehicle is set into motion.
You can open a locked door from the inside.
Open door only when conditions are safe to
do so.
The doors are designed to unlock automati-
cally after an accident if the force of the
impact exceeds a preset threshold.
The vehicle locks automatically when the igni-
tion is switched on and the wheels are turning
at vehicle speeds of approximately 9 mph
(15 km/h) or more. You could therefore lock
yourself out when the vehicle is pushed or
towed or is on a test stand.
You can deactivate the automatic central
locking using the control system
(Y page 138).
