Unlocking By Opening A Door, Function

The door can always be opened from the inside even when the vehicle is locked centrally. When one of the front doors is opened from the inside, the vehicle is unlocked partially or completely in the following cases.

Door opened shortly after locking
If one of the front doors is opened within 10 seconds after locking with the remote control key, the PSE control module (combined) (A37) unlocks the vehicle pneumatically. If selective unlocking was accomplished before locking, the PSE control module unlocks selectively.
