Locking and unlocking

Automatic central locking

The doors and the trunk automatically lock 
when the ignition is switched on and the 
wheels are turning at vehicle speeds of ap-
proximately  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 more information on towing the vehi-
cle, see the “Practical hints” section 
(

컄

page 457).

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

컄

page 174).

Locking and unlocking from the inside

You can lock or unlock the doors and the 
trunk from inside using the central locking 
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 switch.

i

The doors unlock automatically after an 
accident if the force of the impact ex-
ceeds 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

앫

is pushed or towed

앫

is on a test stand

Warning!

G

When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 

SmartKey or the SmartKey with 

KEYLESS-GO* from the starter switch, take 

it with you, and lock the vehicle. Do not 

leave children unattended in the vehicle, or 

with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsu-

pervised use of vehicle equipment may 

cause an accident and/or serious personal 

injury.
