34 n Central locking system Opening and closing – from the outside
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
> doors
> tailgate and rear window
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
> from inside by pressing a button.
Activating the central locking system
from inside does not lock the fuel filler
door (see page
38 ). When it is actuated
from the outside, the anti-theft system
is activated simultaneously. Both the
door locks and release handles remain
locked. The alarm system is also armed
or disarmed.
If locked from the inside, the central
locking system unlocks automatically in
the event of an accident. But the system
only unlocks those doors that were not
locked separately using the safety
buttons, refer to page
38 . In addition,
the hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.
Using the key
One turn of the key in the driver's door
lock unlocks the driver's door only.
Turning the key a second time unlocks
all of the remaining doors, the tailgate
and the fuel filler door.
You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgment message that
the vehicle is closed correctly. <

Convenience operation
You can also operate the power
windows and sliding/tilt sunroof via the
door lock.
> To open: if the door is closed, hold
the key firmly in the "Unlock" posi-
tion.
> To close: if the door is closed, hold
the key firmly in the "Lock" position.
Watch during the closing process
to be sure that nobody is inadvert-
ently injured. Releasing the key stops
the operation.

Manual operation
