If the car was previously locked
with the central locking switch,
while in the selective remote con­
trol mode, only the door opened
from the inside is unlocked.
If the car was previously locked
with the central locking switch,
while in the global remote control
mode, the complete vehicle is
unlocked when a front door is
opened from the inside.
Automatic Central Locking
The central locking switch also

With the automatic central locking
system activated, the doors and
trunk are locked at vehicle speeds
of approx. 9 mph (15 km/h) or
more. The fuel filler flap remains
unlocked.

The doors unlock automatically a
short time after an accident (this is
intended to aid rescue and exit).
