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.
