Information on locking
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved
into the position P before unlocking.
The vehicle cannot be locked from the outside if the ignition has not been
turned off.
After locking the vehicle, it is not possible to unlock it within the next 2 sec-
onds by touching the door handle. This can be used to check whether the vehi-
cle is locked.
Protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If one of the doors is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which
the vehicle was locked remains in the passenger compartment, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked. After automatically unlocking, the turn signal lights
will flash four times. If no door is opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle is au-
tomatically locked again.
If the boot lid is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which the vehicle was locked remains in the luggage compartment, the lid is automatical-
ly unlatched (partially opened). After automatically unlocking, the turn signal
lights will flash four times. The boot lid remains unlatched (partially opened);
the other doors remain locked.
CAUTION
Some types of gloves can affect the unlocking or locking device via the sen-
sors in the door handle.

START-STOPsystem
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
102
Manually deactivating/activating the system
103The START STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces
CO 2emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
(e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it again when mov-
ing off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, the others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
Therefore the system may react differently in situations which seem identi-
cal from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even where this has previously been manually deactivated with the button ).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains on.
Operation
