Opening and closing:
Using door lock
Do not lock the vehicle from the outside
when people are in it since they will be
unable to unlock it from the inside if they do not
know the special procedure.
<
1. Turn key.
The driver's door and fuel filler door are
unlocked.
2. Turn key again.
All remaining doors and the liftgate are
unlocked.
When locking, the hazard warning flashers flash
once.
If you wish, you can have this special fea-
ture deactivated on vehicles without an
alarm system. <
Convenience operation
You can also use the door lock to open and
close the windows and the panorama glass
sunroof
* and to fold the exterior mirrors in and
out * .
Hold the key in the unlocking or locking posi-
tion.
Watch during the closing process to be
sure that no one is injured. Releasing the
key stops the operation. <
Manual operation
If an electrical malfunction occurs, you can
unlock or lock the driver's door with the key in
the end positions of the door lock.
Opening and closing:
From inside
You can use this button to operate the central
locking system when the front doors are closed.
This button only unlocks or locks the doors and
the liftgate. It does not activate the anti-theft
system.
If only the driver's door was unlocked
from the outside and you press the but-
ton, then, with the driver's door still open, the
passenger side door, the liftgate and the fuel
filler door will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be locked.
<
The central locking system locks auto-
matically after you begin to drive. You can
have your vehicle set to do this if you wish. <
Unlocking and opening doors
> Either unlock all of the doors via the central
locking system button and then pull on the
door handle above the armrest or
> pull the door handle of each door twice: the
first time unlocks the door, the second time
opens it.
Engaging locks
> Either lock all doors via the central locking
system button or
> press down the lock buttons of the doors.
To prevent you from being locked out, the
opened driver's door cannot be locked
using the lock button.
Persons or animals left unattended in a
parked vehicle can lock the doors from
the inside. For this reason, bring the ignition key
with you whenever you leave the vehicle so that
