Central Locking System

The entire vehicle may be locked or
unlocked with the central locking
system:
• Using the master key, supple­
mentary key, or by pushing down
or pulling up the interior door
lock buttons at the front doors.
• From the trunk using the master
key only.
The central locking system allows
you to lock or unlock all doors, trunk
lid and fuel filler flap simultaneously.
Doors
When you lock the car, all door lock
buttons should move down. If any
one stays up, the respective door
was not properly closed. You should
then unlock the car, open and re­
close this door, and lock the car
again.
Note:
The central locking system can be
engaged from the driver-side door
lock button, provided the door is
completely closed. It can also be
engaged from the passenger-side if
the ignition key is removed, or
engaged in the lock without being
turned (key in position "0").
If the car has been locked from the
outside with the master key, the
anti-theft alarm will come on if a
door is opened from the inside.
Trunk
To unlock the trunk with the central
locking system, turn the master key
in the trunk lock completely to the
left and let it return to the normal
position. Push in trunk lock button
and open the trunk. To lock the
trunk, turn the master key comple­
tely to the right and let it return to
the normal position.
The trunk can remain locked while
the central locking system is
unlocked (e.g. while driving or when
leaving the car in a situation where it
must be driven using the supple­
mentary key but you wish the trunk
to remain locked at parking lots,
workshops, etc.). Turn the master
key completely to the right and pull
it out in that position. Now the trunk
can only be unlocked with the
master key by turning it back to the
left.
Important!
Contrary to prior model year
vehicles, if the trunk is unlocked
with the central locking system
engaged, the doors and fuel filler
flap will also be unlocked. After clos­
ing the trunk, the central locking
system must again be engaged
using the key!
Note:
If the fuel filler flap cannot be
opened, refer to "Unlocking the Fuel
Filler Flap" (page 84).
