Central locking system Opening and closing – from the outside
The concept
The central locking system becomes
operational when the doors are closed.
The system simultaneously engages
and releases the locks on the
>
doors
>
luggage compartment
>
fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
>
from outside via the door locks, the
luggage compartment lock as well as
via the remote control
*
>
from inside via the safety lock
buttons (locks doors only).
The anti-theft system is automatically
activated whenever you activate the
central locking system from outside the
vehicle. It prevents the doors from
being unlocked with the lock buttons or
release handles.
The central locking system unlocks
automatically in the event of an acci-
dent. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
With the key
Never lock the doors when leaving
passengers in the vehicle, as they
would then be unable to unlock the
door from the inside.
<
Convenience locking mode
The electric power windows can also
be closed via the door locks:
When the doors are closed, hold the
key in the "Lock" position.

left or right to unlock/lock the driver's
door.
