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 50.
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
30 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. 

If the “Reboot” interface is not displayed, you must manually restore the web browser display.
47Unlocking and opening

SafeLockRead and observe
and on page 48 first.
SafeLock prevents opening the doors from inside as well as window operation.
This makes an attempted break-in to the vehicle more difficult.
Activating
SafeLock is activated when the vehicle is locked from the outside.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.
Check SAFELOCK! Log book!CHECK DEADLOCK
Activation display
When SafeLock is activated, the warning light in the driver's door flashes for 2
seconds in rapid succession, then starts to flash at longer intervals.
Deactivating
▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection
» page 52 .
The warning light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2 seconds, then
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 system switches back on when 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!
Individual settings

and on page 48 first.
The following central locking functions can be individually set via the MAXI
DOT display » page 43, Menu item

All doors
The function allows you to unlock all doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap.
Single door
The function allows you to unlock only the driver's door and the fuel filler flap
with the radio remote control. KESSY allows the unlocking of a single door
which is in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The other doors
and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is unlocked or
touched.
Doors on a vehicle side
This function enables you to unlock both doors on the driver's side and the
fuel filler flap with the radio remote control unit. KESSY allows the unlocking of
both doors which are in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The
other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is un-
locked or touched.
Automatic locking/unlocking
This function enables the locking of all doors and the boot lid from a speed of
15 km / h. Opening the doors and the boot lid from the outside is not possible.
The renewed unlocking of the doors and the boot lid is carried out when the
ignition key is removed or when the door is opened from inside (depending on
the individual setting for the central locking system).
