There is an extended-life battery
in every master key that is

For this reason, if you have master keys
that are not being used otherwise, use
those keys approximately once a year
while driving for an extended period to
charge the battery.

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation when the driver's door is
closed. The system simultaneously
engages and releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the remote control
as well as via the driver's door lock
> from inside by pressing a button.
The fuel filler door is not locked when
the central locking system is activated
from the inside, refer to page
34 . When
the system is actuated from the out-
side, the anti-theft system is also acti-
vated. This prevents the doors from
being unlocked via the lock buttons or
the release handle. The alarm system is
also activated or deactivated.
If locked from the inside, the central
locking system unlocks automatically in
the event of an accident, except on
doors that have been locked individu-
ally using the lock buttons, refer to
page
36 . In addition, the hazard warn-
ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
