Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>
Doors
>
Luggage compartment lid
>
Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
>
via the remote control
>
via the driver's door lock
and from inside via the button for the cen-
tral locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to
page
.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you operate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle. It
prevents the doors from being unlocked
using the safety lock buttons or door han-
dles. The alarm system is armed/disarmed
at the same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system automatically unlocks the
vehicle. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing: from
outside
Using the remote control
The remote control provides two additional
functions for the central locking system:
>
Switching on the interior lamps, refer to
page
You can also use this function to locate
your vehicle in parking garages etc.
>
Opening the luggage compartment lid,
refer to page
The luggage compartment lid opens,
regardless of whether it was previously
locked or unlocked.
In addition, the remote control offers you
another function:
>
Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
When you lock/unlock the vehicle, you
simultaneously activate/deactivate the
anti-theft system, arm/disarm the alarm
system, and switch the interior lamps on/
off.
Protect the remote control against
unauthorized use by handing over
only the spare key, for example when using
hotel valet parking.
<
Because any persons or animals left
unattended in a parked vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside, you should
always keep the remote control with you;
this precaution ensures that you will remain
able to unlock the vehicle from the outside
at all times.
