The vehicle is equipped with a central locking system which makes it possible
to unlock / lock all the doors, the fuel filler flap and boot lid simultaneously.
The door unlocking can be adjusted individually » page 54.
The unlocking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing
twice.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically.
The locking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing once.
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons (e.g. children) could lock the car, turn on the ignition or start
the engine - there is a danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the keyway clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a negative
effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.

Read and observe
and on page 52 first.
SafeLock prevents the doors from behind opened from inside as well as win-
dow operation. This makes it more difficult for anyone to break into the vehi-
cle.
Switching on
SafeLock switches on when the vehicle is locked.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.
SAFE interlock. note! Log book!CHECK SAFELOCK
Switch-on display
With the activated SafeLock, the warning light in the driver´s door flashes for 2
seconds in rapid succession, this then starts to flash at longer intervals.
Switching off ▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection
» page 58 .
The warning light in the driver´s door flashes fast for about 2 seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The safelock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or
open a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
