Unlocking and locking the vehicle following airbag deployment

The entire vehicle unlocks when an airbag deploys in a collision. The doors can be opened by firmly pulling on the

door handles without a key.

Depending on the severity of the damage, it may be possible to lock the vehicle as follows after the accident:

1. Switch the ignition off.

2. Open the driver door and shut it again.

3. Lock the vehicle.

It may not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle using Keyless Access if the 12 V vehicle battery or button

cell battery in the vehicle is weak or drained. The vehicle can be manually unlocked or locked.

If there is no valid vehicle key in the vehicle or one is not detected, a message will appear in the instrument

cluster display. This can occur if another signal interferes with the remote control vehicle key or if the remote

control vehicle key is covered by an object, such as a metal case.

Anti-theft alarm system

The vehicle may be equipped with an anti-theft alarm system. The anti-theft alarm system monitors the doors, the

hood, and the trunk lid. The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when you lock the vehicle. If an

attempt is made to access the vehicle without using the appropriate vehicle key, this triggers the anti-theft alarm

system, which emits audible and visual warning signals for up to five minutes.

When is the alarm triggered?

—If a door that was unlocked manually using the vehicle key is opened.

—If the hood is opened.

—If the trunk lid is opened.

—If the ignition is switched on with an invalid vehicle key.

—If the 12 V vehicle battery is disconnected.

—If a bicycle rack that is paired with the anti-theft alarm system is unhitched.

—If trailer that is paired with the anti-theft alarm system is unhitched.

—If a vehicle is equipped with an interior monitoring system and movement is detected inside the vehicle (→ Interior

monitoring and towing protection).

—If a vehicle is equipped with towing protection and it is raised or towed (→ Interior monitoring and towing

protection).

—If a vehicle is equipped with towing protection or an interior monitoring system, and it is transported on a car ferry

or railway (→ Interior monitoring and towing protection).

—If a device is connected to the diagnostic connection when the anti-theft alarm system is active.
