page 34,
-Door handles with convenience key*
O?page 34,
-Lock cylinder at the dr iver's door ¢ page 36,
or
- Power lock ing switch ins ide¢
page 35.
Automatic lo cking
The automat ic locking feature locks all the vehi­
cle doors and the rear lid when you drive faster
than 9 mph ( 15 km/h) .
The car is unlocked again once the ignition key is
removed . In addition, the vehicle can be unlocked
if the opening function in the power locki ng sys ­
tem sw itch or at one of the door levers is actuat­
ed. The A uto Lock funct io n can be tu rned on and

Addit ionally, in the event of a crash with airbag
deployment the doors are automatically un­
l ocked to allow access to the veh icle.
Selective unlocking
When you lock the vehicle, the power locking sys­
tem will lock the doors and the rear lid . When
unlocking, yo u can set in the rad io or MMI*
whether
only the d river 's doo r o r the entire vehi­
cle shou ld be un loc ked
¢ page 36.

0 I­co .... .... 9. If the garage door or other system does not
open using the buttons in the roof headliner
even though the programming was success ­
ful, the system may use a rolling code in­
stead of a f ixed code.
R o lling code pr og ram ­
ming
must be performed ¢ page 43.
The other two buttons in the roof headliner can
be programmed according to the instructions
above. Begin w ith the third step .

t ive for 5 minutes.
.. Cont inue with the fifth step.
{D) Tips
- Programm ing us ing the buttons in the roof
headliner is not possib le w ith all Infotain­
ment systems. If th is is the case, program
the buttons as descr ibed in version A
¢page 41.
- The required d istance between the hand
transm itter and the Homelink mod ule in
the radiator gr ille¢

"' Program the rolling code as follows:
Acti vating 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 depending on the brand
of the system .
"' Press the programming button on the garage
door opene r motor un it (this will usua lly acti­

After programming, the system should detect
the signal and begin moving when the button in
the roof headliner is pressed. Now you may pro ­
gram the other buttons as needed.
(D Tips
- The ro lling code can be p rogrammed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person .
