Pushing down or pulling up the

either front door.
The central locking system locks
or unlocks all doors, trunk lid and
fuel filler flap simultaneously.
Doors
When you lock the car, all door
lock buttons should move down. If
any one stays up, the respective
door is not properly closed. You
should then unlock the car, open
and
this door, and lock the
car again.
The central locking system can be
en aged from the driver’s door
button, provided the door is
completely closed. It can also be
engaged from the front passenger
door if the ignition key is removed,
or the key is inserted in the
steering lock without having been
turned (key in position 0).
If the car has been locked from
the outside, the anti-theft alarm (if
so equipped) will come on if a
door is opened from the inside.
Trunk
To unlock the trunk with the
central locking system, turn the
master key in the trunk lock com-
pletely to the left and return it to
the vertical position. Push in trunk
lock button and open the trunk. To
lock the trunk, turn the master key
completely to the right and return
it to the vertical position.
The trunk can remain locked while
the central locking system is un-
locked (e. g. while driving or when
leaving the car in a situation
where it must be driven using the
valet key but you wish the trunk to
remain locked at parking lots,
workshops etc.). Turn the master
key completely to the right and
pull it out in the horizontal posi-
tion. Now the trunk can only be
unlocked with the master key by
turning it back completely to the
left.
Important!
If the trunk is unlocked with the
master key, the doors and fuel
filler flap will also be unlocked.
After closing the trunk, the central
locking system must again be
engaged using the key to
the doors and fuel filler flap.
Note:
If the fuel filler flap cannot be
opened, refer to Manual Release
of Fuel Flap (see Index).
