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 the
front doors are closed.
If the car was previously locked with
the remote control or key, the doors
and trunk cannot be unlocked with the
central locking switch.
If the car 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 car 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.
Automatic Central Locking
The central locking switch also
operates the automatic central locking.
To activate:
With key in steering lock position 2
hold upper portion of switch (1) for a
minimum of 5 seconds.
To deactivate:
With key in steering lock position 2
hold lower portion of switch (2) for a
minimum of 5 seconds.
With the automatic central locking
system activated, the doors and trunk
are locked at vehicle speeds of approx.
9 mph (15 km/h) or more. The fuel
filler flap remains unlocked.
Notes:
If doors are unlocked with the central
locking switch after activating the
automatic central locking, and neither
door is opened, then the doors remain
unlocked even at vehicle speeds of
approx. 9 mph (15 km/h) or more.
Opening a door from the inside at
speeds of approx. 9 mph (15 km/h) or
less with the automatic central locking
activated, the door will again be
automatically locked at speeds of
approx. 9 mph (15 km/h) or more.
Emergency Unlocking in Case of
Accident
The doors unlock automatically a short
time after an accident (this is intended
to aid rescue and exit). However, the
key must still be in steering lock
position 2.
