Power closing assist for doors and trunk lid
The doors and the trunk lid close automatically if:
• the doors are positioned against the lock,
• the trunk lid is lowered against the lock.
It is not necessary to slam the door or trunk lid closed, a
pneumatic power-assisted mechanism draws doors and
trunk lid closed quietly and automatically once the lid
or door has been latched. When the pneumatic power-
assisted mechanism has stopped, doors and/or trunk
can be reopened.
Central locking switch
1 Locking
2 Unlocking
The central locking switch is located in the center
console.
The doors and trunk can only be locked with the central
locking switch, if both doors are closed.
If the vehicle was previously locked with the central
locking switch, while in the selective remote control
mode, only the door opened from the inside is unlocked.
Warning!
To prevent possible personal injury, always keep
hands and fingers away from the door or trunk
opening when closing a door or the trunk lid. Be
especially careful when small children are around.
The pneumatic power closing assist mechanism
cannot be interrupted once it has been engaged.
To prevent personal injury, never actuate the
closing assist mechanism by tampering with the
door or trunk lid latch.
