Deadlocks *
Deadlocks means that all lock buttons and
door handles are mechanically disengaged,
which prevents doors being opened from the
inside.
The deadlocks are activated with the remote
control key and are set after an approximately
10 second delay after the doors have been
locked.
NOTE
If a door is opened within the delay time
then the sequence is interrupted and the
alarm is deactivated.
The car can only be unlocked from a dead-
lock state with the remote control key. The
front left door can also be unlocked with the
detachable key blade.
