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's 
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. You 
may also have this adjusted so that it is 
specific to keys.
<
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
or
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. As an added design feature to 
prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle, 
the driver's door lock button will not 
engage as long as the door is open.
Since passengers or animals 
remaining in the vehicle might be 
able to lock the doors from the inside, 
always take the vehicle's keys with you 
so that the vehicle can be opened again 
from the outside at any time.
