unlock the vehicle again using the key of
the central locking button.
“Safe” security system
Depending on its equipment, the vehicle may
be tted with the “Safe” security system.
When the vehicle is locked, the “Safe” security
system puts the door handles out of operation
and hinders possible attempts by people to ac-
cess the vehicle. The doors cannot be opened
from inside ››› .
The instrument cluster may display an indica-
tion that the “Safe” security system is switched
on.
Disabling the “Safe” security system
The “Safe” security system may be disabled in
any of the following ways:
●
Press the vehicle key button again within 2
seconds.
●
Touch the sensor surface on the outside
of the door handle again within 2 seconds
›››page97.
●
Switch the ignition on.
●
OR: deactivate interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system ›››page105.
Depending on the equipment, before lock-
ing the vehicle temporarily deactivate interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system in the Ve-
hicle settings menu of the infotainment sys-
tem ›››page105.
When the “Safe” security system is deactiva-
ted, the following needs to be taken into ac-
count:

from the inside using an door handle.
●
The anti-theft alarm is active ›››page104.
●
The interior monitoring system and the anti-
tow system are disabled ›››page105.
“Safe” status
The ashing frequency of the diode in the
door sill immediately conrms the process. Ini-
tially, the diode ashes in a fast sequence for a
brief period, then it stops for approximately 30
seconds and, lastly continues ashing slowly.
WARNING
Using the “Safe” security system negligently
or without paying due attention can cause
serious injuries in the event of an emergency.
●
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when
you lock it with the key. When the “Safe” se-
curity system is active the doors cannot be
opened from the inside!
Troubleshooting
The control lamp remains on
The red LED on the driver’s door ashes at
short intervals and then stays on. There is a
fault in the locking system.
