The vehicle can be locked only if the ignition has been switched off or the driver has switched off the
engine before leaving the vehicle.
A symbol in the instrument cluster display
⇒
Displays indicates if one or more doors are not closed
properly.
Do not drive on! Open the appropriate door and then close it again.
This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the
vehicle has been locked when all doors are closed.
WARNING
A door which is not closed properly could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could
lead to serious injuries.
Stop as soon as possible and close the door.
Make sure that the door is closed properly and that the lock has engaged. The closed door must be
flush with the surrounding body panels.
Doors should be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is in their path.
WARNING
Any door being held open by the door arrester could close unexpectedly in strong winds or if the
vehicle is on a slope. This could lead to injuries.
Always hold doors by the handle when opening and closing doors.
WARNING
The opening and closing paths of the doors and boot lid are potential danger areas where injury can
occur.
The doors and boot lid should therefore be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is
in their path.
WARNING
Careless locking of the doors can cause serious injuries.
If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and electric windows cannot be opened from the
inside.
The central locking system locks all doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside can prevent the doors
from being opened unintentionally and unauthorised persons from entering the vehicle. However,
locked doors can delay assistance to passengers inside the vehicle in the event of an accident or
emergency.
