Central locking
General information
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition off and take the key with you. This applies particularly when children remain in the vehicle. Otherwise, children could start the vehicle or operate electrical equipment (such as power windows), which increases the risk of an accident.
— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm system: When the vehicle is locked from the outside, no one - especially children - should remain in the vehicle, because the windows can no longer open from the inside page 40, Anti-theft alarm system. Locked doors make it more difficult for emergency workers to enter the vehicle, which puts lives at risk.
— Applies to: child safety lock: No one, especially children, should stay in the vehicle when the child safety lock is activated, because the windows can no longer be opened from the inside. This increases the risk of fatal injury.
All doors and the luggage compartment lid can be centrally unlocked and locked at once. You can select in the MMI if the entire vehicle or only the driver's door should unlock when unlocking the vehicle page 36. The turn signals flash twice when you unlock the vehicle and flash once when you lock the vehicle. If they do not flash when locking, check if all doors and lids are closed.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may have different options for centrally unlocking and locking your vehicle. —Vehicle key page 47 — Sensors in the door handles page 41 — Lock cylinder in the driver's door > page 39 ~ Interior central locking switch > page 37
