When the car is locked and unlocked with
the key, the theft alarm is also affected.
Remote locking (1)

lock.
The hazard warning lights will flash once to

The trunk lid cannot be opened now from
inside using the switch on the driver’s door.

Press once on the control: driver´s
door is unlocked. Press a second time to
