matically when the vehicle reaches a speed of
about 15 km/h (Auto Lock) ››› page 82. You
can unlock the vehicle again using button  on the central locking switch.

been unlocked by pressing the  button on
the remote control key ››› page 84, the rear lid
can be re-opened for a certain length of time.
