Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Central locking system Important! When towing the vehicle, or with the vehicle on a dynamometer test stand, please, note the following: With the automatic central locking activated and the electronic key in steering lock position 2, the vehicle doors will lock if the left front wheel as well as the right rear wheel spin at vehicle speeds of approx. 9 mph (15 km/h) or more. To prevent the vehicle door locks from locking, deactivate the automatic central locking. Emergency unlocking in case of accident The doors unlock automatically a short time after a strong deceleration is detected, such as in a collision (this is intended to aid rescue and exit). However, the electronic key must still be in the steering lock. Driving on rough roads may cause the vehicle to unlock. If necessary, the vehicle can be locked again with the central locking switch, see page 35. 37
