05 Locks and alarm
Locking and unlocking
Deadlocks
When deadlocked, the doors cannot be
opened from the inside if they are locked.
The deadlocks are activated with the remote
control and are set after a 25 second delay
after the doors have been locked.
The car can only be unlocked from a dead-
lock state with the remote control. The doors
can also be opened from the outside with the
key.

Temporary deactivation
1. Deactivation of the deadlocks and detectors.
2. No function.
If someone is going to stay in the car but the
doors must be locked from the outside, then
the deadlocks function can be temporarily
deactivated as follows:
– Insert the key into the ignition switch, turn
it to position II and then back to position I
or 0.
– Press button (1).
If the car is equipped with an alarm with
movement and tilt detectors, then these are
also deactivated at the same time, see
page 112.
The light in the button is illuminated until the
car is locked with the key or the remote
control.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with an alarm:
Remember that the car's alarm is armed
when the car is locked.
If any of the doors are opened from the in-
side then the alarm will be triggered.
A message remains on the display as long as
the key is in the ignition switch.
The detectors are reactivated and deadlocks
re-engaged the next time the car is started.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to remain in the car
without first deactivating the deadlocks to
avoid the risk of anyone being locked in.
