LOCKS AND ALARM
Locking/unlocking - from the
outside
Locking/unlocking from the outside is carried
out using the remote control key (p. 160). The
remote control key can lock/unlock all doors, the
tailgate and the fuel filler flap. Different sequen-
ces for unlocking can be selected.
Manual locking of the door
In certain situations the car must be lockable
manually, e.g. in the event of power failure.
NOTE
Remember that the alarm is triggered when
the door is opened after being unlocked with
the key blade - the alarm is switched off when
the remote control key is inserted into the
ignition switch.
The left-hand front door can be locked with its
lock cylinder and the remote control key's
detachable key blade (p. 168).
Other doors have no lock cylinders and instead
have a lock switch on the end of each door which
must be depressed using the key blade - they are
then mechanically locked/blocked to prevent
them being opened from outside. The doors can
still be opened from the inside.
In order that the lock sequence can be activated,
the driver's door must be closed - if any of the
other doors or the tailgate is open, then it/they
is/are locked and the alarm is activated only
when it/they are closed. For cars equipped with
keyless locking system* all doors and the tailgate
must be closed, see Keyless Drive* - locking
(p. 167) and Keyless Drive* - unlocking (p. 168).
WARNING
Be aware of the risk of being locked in the
car when it is locked from the outside using
the remote control key - it is then not possible
to open any of the doors from the inside with
the door controls. For more information, see
Deadlocks* (p. 174).
Automatic relocking
NOTE
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within two minutes of unlocking, all are locked
again automatically. This function prevents the
car from being left unlocked unintentionally. For
cars with alarm, see Alarm* (p. 177).
Be aware of the risk of locking the remote
control key in the car.
If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the remote
control key, the battery may be discharged - lock
or unlock the left-hand front door with the
detachable key blade (p. 163).
