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 with the vehicle key if the ignition has been switched off or the driver has switched off
the engine before leaving the vehicle.
Always take the vehicle key with you when you leave the vehicle.
A symbol in the instrument cluster display 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.
● Open or close the doors only when there is no-one in the movement path of the boot lid.
● 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.
● 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 hold the door handle firmly 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 immediately 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.
● Open or close the doors only when there is no-one in the movement path of the boot lid.
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 the door handle firmly when opening and closing doors.
WARNING
The opening/closing paths of the doors and boot lid are potential danger areas where injury can occur.
● Open or close the doors and boot lid only when there is no-one in their movement path.
NOTICE
When carrying out manual opening or closing, remove parts carefully and install them again correctly in order to
avoid damage to the vehicle.
