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.

the vehicle from being accidentally left unlocked
for along period of time.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)

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.

the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.

the luggage compartment lid are closed and

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.
