Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for operation
whenever the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Tailgate
> Fuel filler door
Operating from outside
> Via the remote control
> Via the door lock *
> In cars with convenient access * , via the door
handles on the driver's and passenger's
sides.
The anti-theft system is also operated at the
same time. It prevents the doors from being
unlocked using the lock buttons or door han-
dles. The remote control can also be used to
switch on/off the welcome lamps and interior
lamps. The alarm system
* is also activated or
deactivated, page 24 .
Operating from inside
Button for central locking system, page 22 .
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:

Persons or animals in a parked vehicle
could lock the doors from the inside. Take
the key with you when you leave the vehicle so

side.
