Indicator light in the driver's door

The indicator light for the central locking system is located in the driver's door.

The indicator light shows the status of the central locking system for around 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked.

The red LED light blinks at short intervals for around 2 seconds.

The status of the central locking system is then displayed for around 28 seconds:

Vehicles with SAFELOCK

• If the red LED light blinks at long intervals, the vehicle is locked with SAFELOCK.
• If the red LED light does not come on, the vehicle is locked, but without SAFELOCK.

Vehicles without SAFELOCK

• If the red LED light blinks at long intervals, the vehicle is locked.

After around 30 seconds, the LED light blinks at slow intervals.

Special conditions

If the red LED light comes on continuously, there is a fault in the central locking system or the anti-theft alarm system.

Automatic locking and unlocking

Depending on how your vehicle is equipped, settings for the central locking can be configured in the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system.

Automatic locking (Auto Lock)

The vehicle locks automatically at speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher. If the vehicle is locked, the indicator light will turn yellow in the central locking button.

Automatic unlocking (Auto Unlock)

If one of the following conditions apply, all doors and the trunk lid will unlock automatically:

• If the electronic parking brake is switched on and the ignition is switched off.
• Or: if the door handle has been pulled. This applies at speeds up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
• Or: if airbags have deployed during a collision.

The Auto Unlock function makes it possible for first responders to access the inside of the vehicle.
