Introduction  
If the vehicle key or central locking fails, the doors can be locked manually and, in some cases, also unlocked  
manually.  
The central locking system enables you to centrally lock and unlock all the doors, the boot lid and the tank flap.  
The vehicle can only be locked 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 or a red indicator lamp ( ) or ) in the instrument cluster indicates if one  
or more doors or lids are not closed properly. Do not drive on! Close the corresponding door or lid→  
.
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 and lids are closed.  
WARNING  
Serious injuries could occur if the doors are unlocked, opened or closed incorrectly or without due care and  
attention.  
Doors should only be opened or closed when you are sure there is no-one in their path.  
After closing the doors, check to make sure that they are properly closed so that they do not open while the  
vehicle is in motion. The closed doors must be flush with the surrounding body panels.  
Close and lock the doors when the vehicle is not in use. Ensure that no one remains in the vehicle.  
103  
If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and electric windows cannot be opened from the inside.  
Temperatures inside a locked vehicle can reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause  
serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.  
Never leave anyone inside a locked vehicle. People in the vehicle could become trapped in an emergency and may  
not be able to get themselves to safety.  
Never close a door by pushing its window with your hand. The glass window could shatter and cause injuries.  
Always keep a good grip on the handle when opening and closing doors.  
WARNING  
Any door that is not properly closed could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead to severe  
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 only be opened or closed when you are sure there is no-one 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 keep a good grip on the handle when opening and closing doors.  
WARNING  
The opening/closing paths of the doors and boot lid are potential danger areas where injury can occur.  
Doors and boot lid should therefore only be opened or closed when you are sure that nobody is in their path.  
NOTICE  
Before opening the wing doors, please check that there is enough space to open and close the wing doors, for  
example when in a garage.  
NOTICE  
When carrying out manual opening or closing, remove parts carefully and install them again correctly in order to  
avoid damage to the vehicle.
