Opening and closing
Central locking
General description
The power locking system locks or unlocks all
doors and the rear lid simultaneously.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally. You
have the following choices:
- Remote master key
c:::> page 34,
-Door handles with convenience key*
c:::> page 34,
-Lock cylinder at the dr iver's door c:::> page 36,
or
- Power loc king switch inside
c:::> page 35.
Automatic locking
The automat ic locking feature locks all the veh i­
cle doors and the rear l id when you drive faster
than 9 mph ( 15 km/h).
The car is unlocked again once the ignition key is
removed . In add ition, the vehicle can be unlocked
if the opening function in the power locking sys­
tem sw itch or at one of the door levers is actuat­
ed. The Auto Lock function can be turned on and
off in the rad io or MMI*
c:::> page 36.
Additionally, in the event of a crash with a irbag
deployment the doors are automatically un­ locked to allow access to the vehicle .
Selective unlo cking
When you lock the vehicle, the power locking sys­
tem w ill lock the doors and the rear lid. When un ­
lock ing, you can set in the radio or
MMI* whether
only the drive r's door o r the ent ire vehicle should
be un locked
c:::> page 3 6.
Anti- theft alarm w arning sy stem
If the anti-theft alarm warning system detects a
break-in into the vehicle, acoustic and v isual
warn ing s ignals are tr iggered .
The anti-theft warning system is activated auto­
mat ically when you lock the vehicle. It is deact i­
vated when unlocking using the remote key, w ith
the mechanical key, and when you switch on the
i gnit ion.
Op ening and cl osing
The alarm also turns off when the a larm cycle has
expired.
Turn signals
When you unlock the veh icle, the turn s ignals
flash twice, when you lock it once. If they do not
flash , one of the doors, the luggage compart­
ment lid or the hood is not locked or the ignition
is still switched on.
Unint entionally locking your self out
In the follow ing cases there safeguards to pre­
vent you locking your remote master key in the
vehicle:
- The vehicle does not lock w ith the power lock­
ing sw itch
c:::> page 35 if the d river's door is
open.
- On veh icles with co nvenience key*, if the most
recently used master key is in the luggage com­
par tment, the rear lid is automatically unlocked
again after it is closed .
Do not lock your veh icle w ith the remote master
key or co nvenience key* unt il all doors and the
rear lid are closed. In this way you avoid locking
yourself out accidentally .
A WARNING ,-c=-
-When you leave the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key and take it with you. This
will prevent passengers (children, for exam­
ple) from accidentally being locked in the
veh icle should they accidentally press the
power locking sw itch in the front doors .
- Do not leave children inside the vehicle un­
supervised . In an emergency it would be im­
possible to open the doors from the outs ide
without the key.
(D Tips
- In the event of a crash with airbag deploy­
ment all locked doors w ill be automatically
unlocked to give access to the veh icle occu­
pants from the outside.
- If the power locking system should mal­
function, you can lock the driver's door us­ ing the mecha nical key

9. If the garage door or other system does not
open using the buttons in the roof headliner
even though the programming was success­
fu l, the system may use a rolling code in­
stead of a f ixed code.
Rolling code program­
ming must be performed ¢ page 43.
The other two buttons in the roof headliner can
be programmed accord ing to the instructions
above. Begin w ith the third step .
Erasing button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be erased indi­
vidua lly. They must a ll be erased together. Repro­
gram the buttons if necessary.
.. Switch the ignition on.
.. Press and hold both outer b uttons in the roof
headliner until the LED ® turns off complete ly
(after about 20 seconds).
Reprogramming the buttons
"'S witch the ign ition on.
"'T o reprogram an individual button, press and
hold the button until the LED® starts to flash
quick ly (after about
10 seconds). Release the
button immediately. Programming mode is ac­
t ive for 5 minutes .
.. Conti nue with the fifth step.
(D) Tips
-Programming using the buttons in the roof
headliner is not possib le w ith all Infotain­
ment systems . If this is the case, program
the buttons as descr ibed in version A
¢page 41.
-The required distance between the hand
transmitter and the Homelink module in
the radiator grille¢
fig. 36 depends on the
system that you are prog rammin g.
- Depending on the model of the system, you
may need to release the button on the re­
mote control during programming and
press it again . Hold each position you try for
at least 15 seconds before trying another
position. Keep the turn signals on your vehi­
cle in view when doing this.
Opening and closing
Rolling code programming
Applies to vehicles: with garage door opener (Homelink)
Rolling code programming is also needed for
some systems .
Identifying a rolling code
.. Press and hold the button in the roof headliner
that was already programmed.
"' Watch the LEO @¢
page 41 , fig. 35. If the LED
blinks quickly, the systems (such as a garage
door) is equipped with a roll ing code.
"' Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the motor unit in a system
.. Locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's motor un it. The exact location and color
of the button may vary depend ing on the brand
of the system .
"' Press the programming button on the garage
door opene r moto r un it (th is w ill usually acti­
vate an "i ndicator" on the motor unit). You now
have approximately
30 seconds to program the
button in the roof headliner.
Programming the button in the roof
headliner
"'Press and hold the previous ly programmed but­
ton in the roof headliner for 2 seconds .
.. To end ro lling code programming, press and
hold the button again for 2 seconds.
.. With some systems, the button may need to be
pressed a third time to end the programming
process .
After programm ing, the system should detect
the signal and begin moving when the button in
the roof headliner is pressed. Now you may pro ­
gram the ot her buttons as needed .
(D Tips
-The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person.
- If you have difficulty programming the roll­
ing code, referring to the user guide for the
system may help .

Driving
-Oc ca siona l noises when the parking brake is
applied and released are normal and are not
a cause for conce rn.
- When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes thro ugh a se lf-test cycle at regu­
l ar inte rvals . Any associated noises are nor­
mal.
Parking
.,. Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle .
.,. Pull the switch@¢
page 77, fig. 81 to set the
parking b rake.
.,. Automat ic transm iss ion: Move the se lector lev-
er to P.
.. Turn the eng ine off ¢,&. .
.. Manua l transmission: Shift in to 1st gea r.
.. When on inclines or declines, tu rn the steering
whee l so that the vehicle w ill roll into the curb
if it beg ins to move.
A WARNING
- When you leave your veh icle -even if only
br iefly -always remove the ignition key . This
applies part icu larly when children remain in
t h e ve hicl e. Otherwise the childre n could
s tar t the engine, release the p arking br ake
or opera te e lectr ica l equi pment (e.g . power
win dows) . There is the ris k of an acci den t.
- When the vehicle is lo cked, no one -particu­
larly not children should rema in in the vehi ­
cl e. Locked doors make it more difficult for
emergency wor kers to get into the vehicle -
putt ing lives at risk.
Starting from rest
The starting assist function ensures that the
parking brake is released automatically upon
starting .
Stopping and applying parking brake

-
Starting and automatically releasing the
park ing brake
.. When you sta rt to drive as usual, the parking
bra ke is automatically released and yo ur vehicle
beg ins to move.
When stop ping at a traffic signal or stopping in
c ity t raffic on vehicles with an a utomat ic t rans ­
mission, the parking brake can be app lied. The
vehicle does not have to be he ld with the foot­
brake. The pa rking brake eliminates the tendency
to c reep with a d rive ra nge engaged. As soon as
yo u drive off as usua l, the park ing b rake is re­
l eased a utomat ica lly and the vehi cle starts to
m ove .
Starting on slopes
When sta rting on inclines, the starting assist pre ­
ven ts the vehicle from unintentionally ro lling
bac k. The braking force of the parking b rake is
n ot released until suff icient dr iving force has
been built up at the wheels.
(D Tips
For safety reasons, the pa rking bra ke is re­
l eased a utoma tically on ly w hen t he d river's
s a fety be lt is en gaged in t he b uckle.
Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling back unin tentionally on an in­
cline, do the f ollowing:
.. Keep the sw itch @¢ page 77, fig . 81 pulled
and dep ress the accelera to r. T he pa rking brake
s t ays app lied and p revents the veh icle from
roll ing ba ckw ard .
.. Yo u can re lease the swi tch @ once you are s ure
that you are deve loping enough d riving force at
the whee ls by depressing the accelerato r.
Depend ing on the weight of the rig (vehi cle an d
t ra ile r) and the seve rity of the incline, yo u may
r o ll backwards as yo u start. You can p revent roll­
i ng backwards by holding the parking brake
switch @pulled o ut and acce lerating -just as
you would when starting on a hill wi th a conven­
tiona l hand b rake .
