These actions operate the anti-theft system at
the same time. It prevents the doors from being
unlocked using the lock buttons or door han-
dles. The alarm system is likewise armed/dis-
armed. The interior lamps and the courtesy
*
lamps are also switched on and off with the
remote control.
You can find more detailed information on the
alarm system on page 35.
Operating from inside
Via the central locking button, refer to page 32.
The fuel filler door and the compartment in the
front center console are not locked, refer to
page 32.
In the event of a serious accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. The haz-
ard warning flashers and interior lamps are also
switched on.
Opening and closing: from
outside
Using the remote control
Because any persons or animals left unat-
tended in a parked vehicle could lock the
doors from the inside, you should always keep
the remote control with you when you leave the
vehicle; this precaution ensures that you will
remain able to unlock the vehicle from the out-
side at all times.<

You can use the button to unlock the vehicle
depending on the current setting.
iDrive, for principle details, refer to page 16.
