(ee emul ela) 
Z\ WARNING 
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition 
off and take the  key with you. This applies 
particularly when children remain in the ve- 
hicle. Otherwise, children could start the ve- 
hicle or operate electrical equipment (such 
as power windows), which increases the risk 
of an accident. 
— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm 
system: When the vehicle is locked from the 
outside, no one - especially children - should 
remain in the vehicle, because the windows 
can no longer be opened from the inside 
= page 32, Anti-theft alarm system. 
Locked doors make it more difficult for 
emergency workers to enter the vehicle, 
which puts lives at risk. 
All doors and the luggage compartment lid can 
be centrally unlocked and locked at once. You can 
select in the MMI if the entire vehicle or only the 
driver's door should unlock when unlocking the 
vehicle > page 30. The turn signals flash twice 
when you unlock the vehicle and flash once when 
you lock the vehicle. If they do not flash when 
locking, then one of the doors, the luggage com- 
partment lid, or the hood is not closed complete- 
ly. 
  
      
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may 
have different options for centrally unlocking and 
locking your vehicle.

Key / vehicle key 
The term “vehicle key” refers to the remote con- 
trol key or convenience key*. The convenience 
key* is a remote control key with special func- 
tions > page 34 and > page 86. 
Power closing* 
When closing a door or the luggage compart- 
ment lid, you only have to Let it fall lightly into 
the latch. It then closes automatically > A. 
Automatic locking 
If you unlock the vehicle but then do not open 
any of the doors, the luggage compartment, or 
the hood within a short period time, the vehicle 
locks again automatically. This feature prevents 
the vehicle from being accidentally left unlocked 
for along period of time. 
Automatic locking (Auto Lock) 
The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the 
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex- 
ceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). 
The vehicle will unlock again if the unlock func- 
tion in the central  locking switch is pressed, one 
of the door handles is pulled, the “P” gear is en- 
gaged, or the ignition is switched off. 
In the event of a crash  with airbag deployment, 
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow 
access to the vehicle. 
Unintentionally locking yourself out 
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and 
the luggage compartment lid are closed and 
there is no key in the vehicle. This reduces the 
risk  of locking yourself out accidentally. 
The following features help to reduce the risk of 
locking your vehicle key in the vehicle: 
— If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot 
be locked by pressing the f& button on the re- 
mote control key or by touching the locking 
sensor* on a door. 
— If the most recently used convenience key* is 
inside the luggage compartment, the luggage 
compartment lid will automatically open again 
after closing it >@. 
— If the convenience key* that was last used is de- 
tected inside the vehicle, then the vehicle can- 
not be locked from the outside > ©.

@) Note 
Applies to: vehicles with convenience key 
— If the convenience key that was last used is 
detected inside the passenger compart- 
ment, then the vehicle cannot be locked 
from the outside using the sensor. Take the 
convenience key with you and lock the vehi- 
cle again. Otherwise, the vehicle will not be 
protected against unauthorized access. 
— If you lock the vehicle using the button on 
the vehicle key with the front passenger's 
or rear door open while accidentally placing 
the  key in the passenger compartment and 
closing the door, the vehicle will not lock. 
The turn signals will flash several times to 
indicate this. If you do not open the vehicle 
within a short time to remove the vehicle 
key, then the vehicle will lock automatically. 
This prevents the vehicle from being left un- 
locked for long periods of time. The key will 
then be locked inside the vehicle. 
— If the convenience key* that was used last is 
detected inside the luggage compartment, 
it will not be possible to lock the luggage 
compartment and the luggage compart- 
ment lid will open. The turn signals will

doors will lock. Always take the convenience 
key with you, or unauthorized people may 
be able to enter the vehicle.

hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
