Deadlocks*
Deadlocks means that all lock buttons and
door handles are mechanically disengaged,
which prevents doors being opened from the
inside.
The deadlocks are activated with the remote
control key and are set after an approximately
10 second delay after the doors have been
locked.
NOTE
If a door is opened within the delay time then
the sequence is interrupted and the alarm is
deactivated.
The car can only be unlocked from a deadlock
state with the remote control key. The front left
door can also be unlocked with the detachable
key blade.
