In order that the lock sequence can be activated, the driver's door must be closed - if any of the other doors or the tailgate is open, then it/they is/are locked and the alarm is activated only when it/they are closed. For cars equipped with keyless locking system* all doors and the tailgate must be closed.
Note
If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the remote control key, the battery may be discharged - lock or unlock the driver's door with the detachable key blade, see Detachable key blade - detaching/attaching.
Note
Warning
Be aware of the risk of being locked in the car when it is locked from the outside using the remote control key - it is then not possible to open any of the doors from the inside with the door controls.
For more information, see Deadlocks*.
Automatic relocking
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened within two minutes of unlocking, all are locked again automatically. This function reduces the risk that the car is left unlocked unintentionally. (For cars with alarm, see Alarm.)
