If the vehicle is locked with the power locking button:
The yellow indicator light in the power locking button comes on
to indicate that all doors are locked → Fig. 27 .
If the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm, the system is
not turned on.
Opening doors or the rear hatch from the outside is not possible,
at a traffic light, for example.
Doors can be unlocked and opened separately from inside the
vehicle by pulling the door handle to open the door. The indicator
light goes out. The unopened doors and rear hatch remain
locked and cannot be opened from the outside.
An open driver door will not be locked. This helps keep the driver
from being locked out of the vehicle.
The vehicle is unlocked if you push the button while the vehicle
is standing still. It also unlocks when you switch off the ignition or
open a door from inside the vehicle (Auto unlock). On vehicles with
automatic transmission, the doors will also unlock when the selector
lever is in Park (P). Auto unlock works only if the vehicle has been
automatically locked with the Auto lock feature.
