Controls and equip-

Opening and closing
• You cannot open the doors or the rear lid from the outside
(increased security, for example when you are stopped at a red
light).
• You can unlock and open the doors from the inside by pulling on
the door handle .
• If the driver's door is opened (after you have locked the vehicle
from the inside using the power locking switch), the door will
remain unlocked to prevent you from locking yourself out of your
vehicle. After you close the door, you have to lock the driver's door
again.
• If you have a crash and the airbag is activated, the doors auto -
matically unlock.
& WARNING
• If you use the power locking switch with the doors closed,
remember that all the vehicle doors will lock.
• Locking doors from the inside can help prevent inadvertent
door opening during an accident and can also prevent unwanted
entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assis-
tance to vehicle occupants and hold up rescue efforts from the
outside in an accident or other emergency. •
