WARNING
Locking the doors prevents
involuntary opening in an exceptional situation (an
accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted
entry into the vehicle from outside,
for example at road crossings. Locked do
ors do, however, make it more difficult
for rescuers to get into the vehicle
in an emergency - danger to life!

In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors are
automatically unlocked in order to enable
rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
•
Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central locking
system fails. You can lock or unlock ma
nually the other doors and the boot lid.
− Emergency locking of the door
⇒page 43.
− Emergency unlocking of the boot lid
⇒page 44.
Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a
safe securing
6) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes
the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door ha
ndle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as
an effective deterrent for attemp
ts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing sy
stem by locking twice within 2°seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash slowly again after about 30°seconds. The safe securing system is again activate
d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again. If the vehicle is locked and the safe securi
ng system is deactiva
ted, you can open the
vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever. The door is unlocked and opened at the same time.6)Only valid for some countries.WARNING (continued)
