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,
>
luggage compartment lid and
>
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 it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door (see page
). When
the system is actuated from the
outside, the antitheft system is acti-
vated simultaneously. Both the door
locks and the safety lock buttons
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. 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 luggage
compartment lid and the fuel filler door.
You can have a confirmation
message set to inform you that the
vehicle has been properly locked.
