Central locking system

The concept

The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed. The
system simultaneously engages and releases
the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Luggage compartment lid/tailgate
> Fuel filler door
The central locking system can be operated
from the outside
> via the remote control
>
via the door lock
and from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
The fuel filler door is not locked from the inside,
refer to page 32.
From the outside, the anti-theft alarm is oper-
ated simultaneously. It prevents the doors from
being unlocked using the lock buttons or door
handles. The alarm system is armed/disarmed

at the same time. The remote control is also
used to switch the interior lamps on and off.
You can find more detailed information on the
alarm system on page 36.
In an accident of sufficient severity, the central
locking system automatically unlocks the vehi-
cle. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and
interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:

Using remote control
Protect the remote control against unau-
thorized use by handing over only the
spare key, for example when using hotel valet
parking.<
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; this precaution
ensures that you will remain able to unlock the
vehicle from the outside at all
Unlocking
Use the button to unlock the vehicle accord-
ing to current settings.
