Central locking system Opening and closing – from the outside
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door
is closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
>
doors
>
luggage compartment lid
>
fuel filler door
>
glove compartment
at the same time.
The central locking system can be
operated
>
from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
>
from inside by pressing a button.
Activating it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door (see page
38 ). When
the system is actuated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is acti-
vated simultaneously. Both the door
locks and the safety lock buttons
remain locked. The alarm system is also
armed or disarmed.
The central locking system unlocks
automatically in the event of an acci-
dent. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
Using the key
Turning the key once in the driver-side
door will unlock only the driver's door.
Turning the key a second time will
unlock the passenger-side door, the
luggage compartment lid, the fuel filler
door and the glove compartment.
You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgment message that
the vehicle is closed correctly.
