Unlocking and opening doors> Either unlock the doors together using the button for the central locking system and then pull the door handle above the armrest or pull on the door handle of each door twice: the first time unlocks the door, the second time opens it.
Locking> Use the central locking button to lock all of the doors simultaneously, or press down the safety lock button of a door.
To prevent you from being locked out, the open driver's door cannot be locked using the lock button.

lock the doors from the inside. You should therefore take the remote control with
you when you leave the vehicle so that the latter can be opened from outside.
