34 Opening and closing – from the inside
If you desire, the central locking
system can be activated automati-
cally as soon as you begin to drive. You
may also have this adjusted so that it is
specific to keys.<
To unlock and open the doors
>Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking sys-
tem and then pull each of the release
handles above the armrests or
>pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
With this button you operate the central
locking system whenever the doors are
closed. The doors and luggage com-
partment lid are unlocked or locked
only. The anti-theft alarm system is not
activated.
To lock
>Either use the central locking button
to lock all doors at once
or
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the passenger's
door, the luggage compartment lid, the
fuel filler door and the glove compart-
ment will unlock, too.
>press the individual door lock buttons
down. As an added design feature to
prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle,
the driver's door lock button will not
engage as long as the door is open.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.<
Since passengers or animals
remaining in the vehicle might be
able to lock the doors from the inside,
always take the vehicle's keys with you
so that the vehicle can be opened again
from the outside at any time.<
