Each individual door and the liftgate must be locked with the respective door lock button - the driver's door can only be locked when it is closed. Notes: The alarm sounds when unlocking the driver's door. Cancel alarm by turning key in steering lock to position 1, or with the remote control by pressing button Œ. If the vehicle has previously been locked from the outside, only the door being opened from the inside will unlock, and the alarm will come on. The remaining doors, the liftgate and fuel filler flap remain locked. In case of a malfunction in the central locking system the doors can be locked and unlocked individually. To lock, push down lock buttons and turn mechanical key in driver's door lock to position 3. In addition lock the liftgate. To unlock, pull inside door handles and turn mechanical key in driver's door lock to position 2. Rear doors, previously centrally locked, can be opened from inside by first unlocking the vehicle with the central locking switch, see page 32, or by first pulling up the door lock button.
