Doors and central locking

Introduction

The doors can be manually locked and in some cases unlocked, for example if the vehicle key or the central locking system is

malfunctioning.

The central locking system allows you to unlock and lock all doors, the trunk lid, and the fuel ﬁller ﬂap from one location.

The vehicle can be locked when the ignition has been switched off or if the driver has exited the vehicle when the engine is

stopped.

Display for open doors

An image in the instrument cluster display indicates if one or more doors have not opened or closed correctly.

Do not continue driving!

1. Safely park the vehicle, if necessary.

2. Open the respective door and close it again.

The image is also displayed when the ignition is switched off, and it turns off several seconds after the doors are closed and

the vehicle has been locked.

WARNING

If a door is not closed correctly, it can open suddenly while driving and cause serious or fatal injuries.

Stop immediately and close the door.

When closing the door, make sure it engages securely and completely. When closed, the door must be ﬂush with

the areas of the vehicle body that are around the door.

WARNING

When the door is being held open by the door arrester, it may close by itself in high winds or on inclines, which can cause

serious injuries.

Always hold the door handle ﬁrmly when opening and closing the door.

WARNING

Opening and closing the doors and trunk lid without due care can be dangerous and result in serious injuries.

Do not open or close the doors and trunk lid if anyone is in the way.

WARNING

The central locking system locks all the doors. In case of an emergency or accident, locked doors can make it more

difﬁcult for ﬁrst responders to access the vehicle interior. When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and

power windows cannot be opened from the inside. There is a risk of serious or fatal injuries.

Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.

WARNING

All doors can be locked from the inside using the central locking button. Otherwise, children, people requiring assistance

or animals could be locked inside the vehicle. In an emergency, they may not be able to exit the vehicle without assistance

or help themselves. Otherwise, they may be subjected to very high or low temperatures. There is a risk of serious or fatal

injuries.

Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.

NOTICE

Careless handling of the emergency lock components can result in vehicle damage.

Use caution when using emergency locking or emergency unlocking.

When the vehicle is locked from the inside, it reduces the risk of opening the doors unintentionally and of unauthorized

people entering the vehicle.
