Central Locking System - Mercedes-Benz 560 SL 107 1988 Owner's Manual

Central Locking System

The entire vehicle may be locked or
unlocked with the central locking
system:
• Using the master or valet key in
either door.
• Using the master key in the
trunk lock.
The central locking system locks or
unlocks both doors, trunk lid and
fuel filler flap simultaneously.
Doors
When you lock the car, both door
locking levers will be in the forward
position. If either one is in the rear­
ward position the respective door is
not properly closed. You should
then open and reclose this door
(locking lever in the forward .posi­
tion).
The central locking system can be
engaged from the driver- and
passenger-side door locking lever,
provided the driver's door is com­
pletely closed. It can also be en­
gaged from the passenger-side if
the ignition key is removed, or in­
serted in the steering lock without
being turned (key in position 0).
If the car has been locked from the
outside, 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 vertical
position. Push in trunk lock button
and open the trunk. To lock the
trunk, turn the master key com­
pletely to the right and let it return
to the vertical position.
The trunk can remain locked while
the central locking system is un­
locked (e.g. while driving or when
leaving the car in a situation where
it must be driven using the valet
key, but you wish the trunk to re­
main locked at parking lots, work­
shops, etc.). Turn the master key
completely to the right and pull it
out in the horizontal position. Now
the trunk can only be unlocked
with the master key by turning it
back completely to the left.
Important!
If the trunk is unlocked with the
master key, the doors and fuel filler
flap will also be unlocked. After
closing the trunk, the central lock­
ing system must again be engaged
using the key to relock the doors
and fuel filler flap.
Note:
If the fuel filler flap cannot be
opened, refer to "Manual Release of
Fuel Filler Flap" (page 82).
