Opening and closing: from insideThis button serves to unlock or lock
doors and the liftgate, but does not
activate the anti-theft system. The fuel
filler door remains unlocked.
You have the option of setting the
central locking system to lock
automatically as soon as you begin to
drive. This can be set to be key-
specific.<530de220
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button
>all other doors, the liftgate/tailgate
and the fuel filler door will be
unlocked when the driver's door is
opened
>the driver's door will be locked again
when it is closed.<
Unlocking and opening doors >Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking sys-
tem 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.
Locking >Use the central locking button to lock
all of the doors simultaneously, or
>press down the individual lock but-
tons. As an added design feature to
prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle,
the driver's lock button will not
engage as long as the door is open.
When the vehicle is moving, do
not lock the doors with the lock
buttons. Doors locked in this manner
would not unlock automatically in the
event of an accident.
Since passengers or animals remaining
in the vehicle might be able to lock the
doors from the inside, take the vehicle's
keys with you so that the vehicle can be
opened again from the outside at any
time.<

Alarm system The concept The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood or the liftgate
is opened
>To movement in the vehicle interior:
interior protection, refer to Tilt alarm
sensor and Interior motion sensor
>To variations in the vehicle tilt angle
such as occur during attempts to
steal the wheels or tow the vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
>An acoustical alarm, which sounds
for 30 seconds
>The hazard warning flashers, which
flash for approx. five minutes
>The high beams, which flash on and
off in the same rhythm as the hazard
warning flashers.
Arming and disarming alarm
system When you lock or unlock the vehicle,
either with the remote control or at the
door lock, the alarm system is armed or
disarmed at the same time.
You can have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm
arming and disarming.<
The liftgate can also be opened with the
system armed using the button on the
remote control, refer to page31. The
liftgate is locked again when closed.
Pressing the button longer triggers the
alarm: panic mode, refer to page32.
Indicator lamp displays >The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed.
>The indicator lamp flashes when the
vehicle is locked: the doors or liftgate
are not properly closed. Even if you
do not close the alerted area, the sys-
tem begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes
continuously after 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated.
>The indicator lamp goes out when the
vehicle is unlocked: no manipulation
or attempted intrusions have been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.530us241
