Central locking system

The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door
> glove compartment.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the remote control
as well as via the driver's door lock
> from inside by pressing a button.
Activating it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door, refer to page 32.
When the system is actuated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is acti-
vated simultaneously. Both the door
locks and release handles remain
locked. The alarm system is also armed
or disarmed.
If locked from the inside, the central
locking system unlocks automatically in
the event of an accident, except on
doors that have been locked individu-
ally using the lock buttons, refer to
page 32. In addition, the hazard
warning flashers and interior lamps
come on.
