Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)*
The
Auto Lock* function automatically locks all doors and the tailgate when
the vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again automatically when the ignition key is
removed. Alternatively, the driver can also unlock the vehicle using the
central locking switch
 or by opening one of the doors.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the vehicle if it is locked from
the outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors and
windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.

•The doors and the tailgate cannot be opened from the outside (for secu-
rity reasons, e.g. when stopped at traffic lights).•You can open the doors individually from the inside by pulling the inside
door handle.•When the driver door is open, it cannot be locked by pressing the central
locking switch and then closing the door. This helps to prevent you from
being locked out of the vehicle. The door has to be locked separately after it
has been closed.•In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, doors locked from
the inside will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.WARNING
The central locking switch is still operative when the ignition is switched
off. This switch can be used to automatically lock all the doors and the tail-
gate. However, since this makes it difficult to enter the vehicle from the
outside, you should never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Locked
doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at
risk.
Note
The central locking switch inside the vehicle will not be operative if the anti-
theft mechanism has been enabled.

If any of these areas are entered, the alarm will be triggered.
How is the alarm disabled?
The alarm can be switched off by unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control, or by switching on the ignition with the key, thus “disabling” the
alarm system. The alarm will also switch off when it comes to the end of its
cycle.
Turn sig nals
The turn signals flash briefly when the vehicle is locked to confirm that the
doors, the engine bonnet and the tailgate are properly closed and locked.
If the turn signals do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the tailgate
to make sure they are properly closed. The turn signals will also flash briefly
if one of the doors or the tailgate or engine bonnet is closed after the alarm
system has been enabled.
LED
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver door trim will flash
rapidly for about 30 seconds and then continue flashing slowly. This is to
indicate that the anti-theft alarm system (including the interior monitoring
and tow-away protection ) is operative. If the LED lights up continuously for
about 30 seconds when the vehicle is locked instead of flashing, this means
the alarm system is not working properly.Note
•To make sure that the alarm is fully operative when leaving the vehicle,
briefly check that all the doors and windows and the sunroof* are closed.
•The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is enabled.Interior monitoring*

The interior monitoring triggers an alarm if it detects move-
ment inside the vehicle.You should disable the interior monitoring if there is a possibility
that the alarm could be triggered, e.g. by a pet or by an object
moving inside the vehicle ⇒ . The tow-away protection feature,
which is integrated into the alarm system, should be disabled if the
vehicle is being towed or transp orted (e.g. by rail or ship).
