Power locking system
General description
The power locking system locks or unlocks all doors and
the rear lid simultaneously.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally. You have the following
choices:
• Remote master key ⇒ page 6
• Door handles with advanced key* ⇒ page 7,
• Lock cylinder at the driver's door ⇒ page 9, or
• Power window switch inside ⇒ page 9.
Selective unlocking
When they are closed, the door and rear lid are locked. When
unlocking, you can set in the radio or in the MMI* whether only the
driver's door or the entire vehicle should be unlocked ⇒ page 6.
Automatic locking
The automatic locking feature locks all the vehicle doors and the
rear lid when you drive faster than 9 mph (15 km/h).
The car is unlocked again once the ignition key is removed. In addi-
tion, the vehicle can be unlocked if the opening function in the
power locking system switch or at one of the door levers is actuated.
The Auto Lock function can be turned on and off in the radio or in
the MMI* ⇒ page 6.
Additionally, in the event of a crash with airbag deployment the
doors are automatically unlocked to allow access to the vehicle.
Anti-theft alarm warning system
If the anti-theft alarm warning system detects a break-in into the
vehicle, acoustic and visual warning signals are triggered.
The anti-theft warning system is activated automatically when you
lock the vehicle. It is deactivated when unlocking using the remote
key, with the mechanical key, and when you switch on the ignition.
The alarm also turns off when the alarm cycle has expired.
Turn signals
When you unlock the vehicle, the turn signals flash twice, when you
lock it once. If they do not flash, one of the doors, the rear lid or the
hood is not locked.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
In the following cases there safeguards to prevent you locking your
remote master key in the vehicle:
• If a door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the central
locking system switch ⇒ page 9.
• On vehicles with advanced key*, if the most recently used master
key is in the luggage compartment, the rear lid is automatically
unlocked again after it is closed ⇒ page 11.
Do not lock your vehicle with the remote master key until all doors
and the rear lid are closed. In this way you avoid locking yourself out
accidentally.
WARNING
• When you leave the vehicle, always remove the ignition key and
take it with you. This will prevent passengers (children, for
example) from accidentally being locked in the vehicle should they
accidentally press the power locking switch in the front doors.
• Do not leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised. In an
emergency it would be impossible to open the doors from the
outside without the key.
