It is not necessary to slam the door or
trunk lid closed. A pneumatic pow-
er-assisted mechanism draws doors

matically once door and trunk lid has
been latched. When the pneumatic
power-assisted mechanism has
stopped, doors and/or trunk can be
re-opened.
The doors and the trunk automatically lock
when the ignition is switched on and the
wheels are turning at vehicle speeds of ap-
proximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or more.
You can deactivate the automatic locking
using the control system (୴ page 159).
You can open a locked door from the in-
side. Open door only when conditions are
safe to do so.
