Controls in detail

Locking and unlocking

If the tailgate comes into contact with an
object while closing (e.g. luggage that has
been piled too high), the closing procedure
is stopped and the tailgate reopens.

Automatic central locking

The doors and the tailgate lock automati-
cally when the ignition is switched on and
the wheels are turning at vehicle speeds of
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or more.

You can open a locked door from the in-
side. Open door only when conditions are
safe to do so.

For information on towing the vehicle, see
“Towing the vehicle” (

page 518).

You can deactivate the automatic locking
mode using the control system
(

page 176).

Locking and unlocking from the inside

You can lock or unlock the doors and the
tailgate from inside using the central lock-
ing or unlocking switch. This can be useful,
for example, if you want to lock the vehicle
before starting to drive.

The fuel filler flap cannot be locked or un-
locked with the central locking or unlock-
ing switch.

i

To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout,

the tailgate will open automatically if a SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO* is recognized inside the
vehicle.

i

The doors unlock automatically after an

accident if the force of the impact exceeds a
preset threshold.

The vehicle automatically locks when the ignition
is switched on and the wheels are turning at
vehicle speeds of approximately 9 mph
(15 km/h) or more. You could therefore lock
yourself out when the vehicle

ț

is pushed or towed

ț

is on a test stand

Warning!

G

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the

SmartKey or SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO*

from the starter switch, take it with you, and

lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unat-

tended in the vehicle, or with access to an

unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehi-

cle equipment may cause an accident

and/or serious personal injury.
