whether only the driver's door or the entire
vehicle should be unlocked <=?
page 35.
Automatic locking
The automat ic locking feature locks all the ve­
h icle doors and the rear lid when you drive
faster tha n 9 mph (15 km/h).
The car is unlocked again, when the opening
function in the power locking system sw itch
or at one of the door levers is actuated .
Anti-theft alarm warning system
If the anti-theft alarm warning system de­
tects a break- in into the vehicle, acoust ic and
visual warning signals are triggered .
The anti-theft warning system is activated au ­
tomatically when you lock the vehicle . It is de­
activated when u nlocking using the remote
key, with the mechanical key, and when you
switch the ignition on.
The alarm also turns off when the alarm cycle has expired.

flash twice. When you lock the vehicle the
turn signals flash once. If they do not flash ,
one of the doors, the rear lid or the hood is
not locked .
Unintentionally locking yourself out
In the follow ing cases there safeguards to
prevent you locking your remote master key in
the vehicle:
- The vehicle does not lock w ith the central
locking switch <=?
page 37 if the driver's
door is open.
- On veh icles with convenience key*, if the
most recently used master key is in the lug­
gage compartment, the rear lid is automati­
cally un locked again after it is closed.
Do not lock your veh icle w ith the
remote mas­
ter key or convenience key*
unti l all doors
and the rear lid are closed. In this way you
avoid locking yourself out accidentally .
Power side door closer*
The veh icle doors are equipped with a power
s ide door closer . When closing a door, you on ­
ly have to let it fall light ly into the latch . The
door will then automatically close by itself
¢& .
A WARNING
-- When you lock your vehicle from outside,
nobody - especially children -should re­
main inside the vehicle. Remember,
when you lock the vehicle from the out­
side the windows cannot be opened from
the inside.
- When you leave the vehicle, always take
the ignition key with you . This will pre­
vent passengers (children, for example)
from accidentally being locked in the ve­
hicle should they accidentally press the
power locking switch in the doors.
- Do not leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised. In an emergency it would
be impossible to open the doors from
the o utside without the key.

-Applies to vehicles with power side door
closer*:
- When closing a door, make sure noth­ ing can interfere w ith the door. This
could cause ser ious personal inj ury.

ployment a ll locked doors will be auto­
ma tically unlocked to g ive access to the
vehicle occupants from the outside .

f unct ion, you can lo ck the dr iver's door

you can still open the fuel tank flap in a n
emergency ¢
page 220.
- You are we ll advised not to keep valua­
bles inside an unattended vehicle, visib le
or not. Even a properly locked vehicle
cannot provide the security of a safe.
