Deadlocks
The car has a special deadlock function,
which means that the doors cannot be
opened from the inside if they are locked.
Deadlocks can only be activated from the
outside by the driver's door being locked
with the key or remote control. All doors must
be closed before deadlocks can be activat-
ed. Once activated, the doors cannot be
opened from the inside. The car can only be
unlocked from the outside via the driver's
door or by using the remote control.
Deadlocks are engaged after a 25 second
delay after the doors have been closed.

Certain countries
Temporary deactivation of the
deadlocks and any alarm detectors
If others prefer to remain seated in the car
with the doors locked from the outside, e.g.
during transport by ferry, it is possible to de-
activate the deadlocks.
– Insert the key into the ignition switch, turn
it to position II and then back to position I
or 0.
– Press the button (see illustration).
If the car is equipped with an alarm, move-
ment and tilt detectors are also deactivated.
See page 109.
The light in the button illuminates until the car
is locked with the key or the remote control.

detectors are reactivated and deadlocks re-
engaged the next time the ignition is
switched on.

without first deactivating the deadlocks.
