Central locking system*

Description
Unlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the same
time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It can be
opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate.
Operation of the central locking system is possible:

from the outside using the vehicle key  page 38;

using the buttons for the central locking system  page 39;

by using the remote control  page 41.

Driving Tips
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up for
about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of the central
locking or the interior monitor*  page 43. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assist-
ance.
Convenience operation of the windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle  page 45.
Opening a single door*
This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors
remain locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. The single door
opening function can be first activated by recoding the control unit of the central
locking system. This work is undertaken by a specialist garage which can give you more
information.
Automatic locking*
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a speed of
about 15 km/h.
If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car is then automatically unlocked again. The driver
can also unlock the vehicle by pressing the button
If you wish, you can have a specialist garage activate the automatic locking function.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situation (an
accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside,
for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult
for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life!
Note

In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors are
automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.

Only the front door which is fitted with a locking cylinder can be unlocked and
locked using the key if the central locking system fails. You can operate the rear doors
manually.
