Important safety notes
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take
the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system, and do not give them access
to an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised
access to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. They could:
- injure themselves on vehicle parts
- be seriously or fatally injured by extreme
heat or cold
- injure themselves or have an accident with
vehicle equipment that may still be in
operation even after the SmartKey has
been removed from the ignition, such as the
seat adjustment, steering wheel
adjustment or memory function.
If children open a door, they could cause severe or even fatal injury to other persons; if they get out of the vehicle, they could injure themselves when doing so or be seriously or even fatally injured by any passing traffic.
Do not expose the child restraint system to direct sunlight. The child restraint system's metal parts, for example, could become very hot, and a child could be burned on these parts.
WARNING
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment or cargo
compartment unless they are firmly secured
in place.
Unsecured or improperly positioned cargo
increases a child's risk of injury in the event
of
- strong braking maneuvers
- sudden changes of direction
- an accident
Unlocking and opening doors from the inside
You can open a door from inside the vehicle even if it has been locked. You can only open the rear doors from inside the vehicle if they are not secured by the child-proof locks.
Only open the door when the traffic situation permits.
If the vehicle was previously locked with the SmartKey or with KEYLESS-GO, opening the vehicle from the inside will activate the antitheft alarm system. Switch off the alarm.
- Pull door handle 2.
If the door is locked, locking knob 1 pops up. The door is unlocked and can be opened.
Centrally locking and unlocking the vehicle from the inside
You can centrally lock or unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central locking/unlocking button does not lock or unlock the fuel filler flap.
The buttons are located on both front doors.
You cannot unlock the vehicle
centrally
from the inside if the vehicle has been
locked with the SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO.
It is only possible to lock the
vehicle
centrally if the front-passenger door is
closed.
1 To unlock: press button 1.
1 To lock: press button 2.
If all the doors and the tailgate are closed, the vehicle locks.
You can open a front door from inside the vehicle even if it has been locked. Only open the door when the traffic situation permits.
If the vehicle has been locked with the central
locking button:
- and the SmartKey is set to its factory
setting, the entire vehicle is unlocked if a
front door is opened from the inside
- and the SmartKey is set to an individual
setting, only the front door that is opened
from inside the vehicle is unlocked.
If the vehicle has been locked centrally with the SmartKey or with KEYLESS-GO, it is not unlocked when the release button for the central locking is used.
Automatic locking feature
The vehicle locks automatically when the ignition is switched on and the wheels of the vehicle are turning at a speed of more than 9 mph (15 km/h).
You could therefore be locked out when: - the vehicle is being pushed.
- the vehicle is being towed.
- the vehicle is being tested on a dynamometer.
- To deactivate: press and hold button 1 for about five seconds until a tone sounds.
- To activate: press and hold button 2 for about five seconds until a tone sounds.
If you press one of the two
buttons and
do not hear a tone, the relevant setting has
already been selected.
You can also switch the automatic locking function on and off using the on-board computer.
Unlocking the driver's door (mechanical key)
If the vehicle can no longer be unlocked with the SmartKey, use the mechanical key.
