Child safety locks
The child safety locks prevent children from being able to open a rear door from the inside. There is an electric* and a manual lock.
Electric activation/deactivation*
The electric child safety locks can be activated/deactivated in all ignition positions higher than 0. Activation/deactivation can be performed up to 2 minutes after switching off the engine, provided that no door is opened. See the section "Ignition position" for more information.
Start the engine or choose an ignition position higher than 0.
Press the button in the driver's door control panel.
The driver display shows the message Rear child lock Activated and the button's lamp illuminates - the locks are active.
When the electric child safety lock is active then the rear:
- windows can only be opened with the driver's door control panel
- doors cannot be opened from inside.
To deactivate the locks:
Press the button in the driver's door control panel.
The driver display shows the message Rear child lock Deactivated and the button's lamp goes out - the locks are deactivated.
The current setting is stored when the engine is switched off - if the child safety locks are activated at engine shutdown, the function will remain activated the next time the engine is started.
