Locks and Security Childproof rear door locks When these locks are set, the rear doors cannot be opened from inside. The rear doors can be opened from the outside when the doors are unlocked. The childproof locks are located on the rear edge of each rear door and must be set separately for each door. Setting the lock for one door will not automatically set the lock for both doors. Insert the key and turn to the lock position (key vertical). Turn the key towards the center of the vehicle to disengage. CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM The central locking system can be activated from the driver's door. It operates only when the driver's door is closed. Other doors may still be open. It is activated from the outside with the key or from inside by depressing the locking button on the door handle. The luggage compartment remains locked. To prevent entry into any part of the vehicle (including the luggage compartment) during a journey (e.g. when stopping at traffic lights) you should drive with the doors locked. 112
