Central locking system
The principle
The central locking becomes active when the
driver's door is closed. The following are
unlocked or locked in combination:
> Doors
> Luggage compartment lid
> Fuel filler flap
The central locking system can be operated
from outside:
> Via the remote control
> Via the driver's door lock
> With convenient access
and from the inside via the central locking but-
ton.
When operated from outside, the deadlocks are
engaged at the same time. This prevents the
doors from being unlocked either at the safety
lock buttons or door handles. The alarm sys-
*
tem is also armed or disarmed. The interior
light is in addition switched on and off with the
remote control.
For further details of the alarm system
page 35.
In the event of an accident of sufficient severity,
the central locking is released automatically.
The hazard warning flashers and the interior
light are in addition switched on.
