Central locking system

The concept
The central locking system becomes
operational when the doors are closed.
The system simultaneously engages
and releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the door locks and
the luggage compartment lock
(M coupe: Open only)
> from inside via the safety lock
buttons (locks doors only).
The alarm system is automatically
armed whenever you activate the cen-
tral locking system from outside the
vehicle. It prevents the doors from be-
ing unlocked with the lock buttons or
release handles.
The central locking system unlocks
automatically in the event of an acci-
dent. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
