Central Locking System; Opening And Closing - From Outside - BMW 323I Owner's Manual

Central locking system

34n
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and re-
leases the locks on the
> doors,
> luggage compartment lid and
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
> from inside by pressing a button.
Activating it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door (see page 38). When
the system is actuated from the out-
side, the antitheft system is activated
simultaneously. Both the door locks
and the safety lock buttons remain
locked. The alarm system
armed or disarmed.
If locked from the inside, the central
locking system unlocks automatically in
the event of an accident. In addition,
the hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.

Using the key
