Doors and central locking button  
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.  
An image in the instrument cluster display indicates if one or more doors have not opened or closed correctly ⇒ Driver information.  
Do not continue driving!  
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 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.  
Do not open or close the doors if anyone is in the way.  
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 injuries.  
Always hold the door handle firmly when opening and closing the door.  
WARNING  
The area within the range of motion for the doors and trunk lid can be dangerous and there is the potential for injuries.  
Do not open or close the doors and trunk lid if anyone is in the way.  
WARNING  
Locking the doors carelessly can cause serious injuries.  
When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and power windows cannot be opened from the inside.  
The central locking system locks all the doors. When the vehicle is locked from the inside, it reduces the risk of opening the doors unintentionally and of  
unauthorized people entering the vehicle. In case of an emergency or an accident, locked doors can make it more difficult for first responders to access
