Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system functions when the
driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Luggage compartment lid
> Fuel filler door
> Center armrest
*
Operating from outside
>
Via the remote control
>
Using the door lock
>
In cars with convenient access
*
, via the
handles on the driver's and passenger's
doors
In addition, if the remote control is used, the
welcome lamps, interior lamps and the door's
courtesy lamps
*
are switched on or off. The
alarm system
*
is also armed or disarmed.
For further details of the alarm system, refer to
page 33 .
Operating from inside
By means of the button for central locking, refer
to page
32 .
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:
Using the remote control
Persons or animals in a parked vehicle
could 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.
<
To operate the retractable hardtop with
the remote control, the doors and lug-
gage compartment lid must be closed and the
cargo bay partition must be folded down and
engaged on both sides. Refer also to page
38 . <
Unlocking
Press the button.
The interior lamps, the courtesy lamps
*
and the
welcome lamps come on.
Setting unlocking characteristics
You can set whether only the driver's door or
the entire vehicle is to be unlocked when the
button is pressed for the first time.
