This button is used to operate the cen-
tral locking system when the front 
doors are closed. This only locks or 
unlocks the doors and the luggage 
compartment lid, but does not engage 
the deadlocks.

If you wish, the central locking 
system can be set to engage as 

soon as the car is driven away. You can 
have this setting programmed as part of 
the Key Memory facility.

<

1. Press the button for central locking
2. The handles are above the armrests: 

pull the handle of the door in ques-
tion

or

pull the door handle out twice at any 
door: to unlock and open.

> Either lock all doors by pressing the 

central locking button, or

> press the door safety buttons down. 

To avoid being shut out of the car 
accidentally, the driver's door cannot 
be locked with the safety button 
when it is open.

The doors can be locked from the 
inside by persons or animals in the 

passenger compartment. Always take 
the key with you, so that the car can be 
opened from the outside.

<

You can have an acoustic signal 
set to sound as a reminder if you 

open the driver's door without removing 
the key from the ignition beforehand.
