Central locking system

Opening and closing – from outside

The concept

The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and re-
leases 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 38). When
the system is actuated from the out-
side, the antitheft system is activated
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
the passenger-side door, the luggage
compartment lid and the fuel filler door.

You can have a confirmation mes-
sage set to inform you that the car

has been properly locked.

You will find additional information on
the alarm system

on page

Convenience operating mode

You can also operate the power win-
dows and sliding/tilt sunroof

via the

To close: With the door closed, turn

to be sure that no one is injured.

Releasing the key stops the opera-
tion.
