To unlock and open the doors

Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking
system 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.

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
unlocked. As an added design
feature 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.

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

lock buttons. Doors locked in this
manner would not open automatically in
the event of an accident.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this reason,
you should always remove the key and
take it with you to be sure that you will
be able to unlock the vehicle from the
outside at all times.
