You cannot unlock the vehicle centrally from the
inside if the vehicle has been locked from the
outside.
For all countries except the United Kingdom:
you can open a door from inside the vehicle even
if it has been locked.
Only for the United Kingdom: if the vehicle
has been locked with the key from the outside,
the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (
Y
page 82). The doors can then
be opened from the inside after the vehicle has
been locked from the outside.
For all countries: when a locked door is opened
from inside the vehicle, the previous unlocking
process will be observed if the vehicle has been:
R
locked with the locking button for the central
locking or
R
locked automatically
The vehicle will be fully unlocked if it had previ-
ously been fully unlocked. Only the door which
has been opened from the inside is unlocked if
only the driver's door had been previously
unlocked.
