vehicle is not a safe.

The central locking system is combined with an anti-theft security system. If

the vehicle is locked with the key from the outside, the interior opening levers

stop working, which make it difficult for unauthorised people to get into the

all the locks individually. The fuel tank flap can be released manually if neces-

sary. For manual release of the tank flap ⇒ page 209.

The Auto Lock* function locks the doors and the boot lid when the vehicle

exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.

The vehicle is unlocked again automatically when the ignition key is

removed. Alternatively, the driver can also unlock the vehicle using the

central locking switch  or by opening one of the doors.
