The central locking switch is located in the center

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.
If the vehicle was previously locked with the central 
locking switch, while in the global remote control mode, 
the complete vehicle is unlocked when a front door is 
opened from the inside.
Notes:
If the vehicle was previously locked with the remote 
control, the doors and tailgate cannot be unlocked with 
the central locking switch.
The fuel filler flap cannot be locked or unlocked with 
the central locking switch.
