CONTROLS Opening and closing
24
Do not lock the vehicle from the outside
when there is someone inside it, as some
national-market versions as well as versions
with certain optional equipment cannot then be
unlocked from the inside.<
In some national-market versions, the
alarm system
* is triggered when the car is
unlocked via the door lock.
To end the alarm:
Unlock the car with the remote control, page 21,
or insert the key fully into the ignition lock.<
Alarm system, see page 26.
Without alarm system
* or convenient
access
* only the driver's door is locked via
the door lock.<
To lock all doors, fuel filler flaps and luggage
compartment lids together:
> For closed doors with an inside button for
central locking in the passenger compart-
ment, see page 24, lock the vehicle.
> Unlock and open the driver's side or front
passenger door, page 24.
Lock the vehicle.
> Lock the driver's door via the door lock
with the integrated key or
> Press down the locking button on the
front passenger's door and close the
door from outside.
Convenient opening and closing
The alarm system* or convenient access* can
be used to operate side window and glass sun-
roof
* through the door lock.
Opening/closing
Hold the key in the position for unlocking or
locking.
Watch the closing movement to ensure
that no one is trapped. The movement is
stopped when the key is released.<
Manual operation
In the event of an electrical fault, the driver's
door can be locked or unlocked by turning the
integrated key to the limit positions in the door
lock.
Opening and closing:
from the inside
The switch locks or unlocks the doors, tailgate
and fuel filler flap
* when the doors are closed,
but does not deadlock them.
Unlocking and opening
> Either unlock the doors together using the
central locking switch and then pull the door
handle above the armrest or
> Pull the handle on each individual door
twice: the first time to unlock the door, and
the second time to open it.
Locking
> Press the switch or
> press down the safety lock button of a door.
To prevent that you are shut out of the car
accidentally, the driver's door cannot be
locked with the safety lock button when it is
open.
Persons remaining in the vehicle or pets
left inside can lock the doors from the
inside. You should therefore take the key with
you, so that the car can be opened from the out-
side.<
