ZA 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 en- 
gine 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 31, 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 29. 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, check if all doors and lids are closed. 
  
      
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may 
have different options for centrally unlocking and 
locking your vehicle.

Key / vehicle key 
The term “key” can refer to the remote control or 
convenience key*, or  to a mobile device. 
The term “vehicle key” refers to the remote con- 
trol key or convenience key*. The convenience 
238 
key* is a remote control key with special func- 
tions > page 33 and > page 80. 
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 a long 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  & button on the re- 
mote control key or by touching the locking 
sensor* on one of the front doors. 
—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 last convenience key* that was used is de- 
tected inside the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be 
locked from the outside for a brief time > ©.

If the anti-theft alarm system detects a vehicle 
break-in, audio and visual warning signals are 
triggered. The anti-theft alarm system is switch-

cle. If the alarm is triggered, it will shut off auto- 
matically after a certain amount of time.

tures:

The alarm will sound if there is a break-in at the 
doors, hood, and/or luggage compartment lid. 
Interior/towing protection monitor 
The alarm will be triggered if there are move- 
ments detected in the vehicle interior (for exam- 
ple, by animals) or if there is a change in the vehi- 
cle angle (for example, when the vehicle is being 
towed). 
You can prevent the alarm from being triggered
