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
Operating from outside
> Via the remote control
> Via the door lock
> In cars with convenient access
handles on the driver's and front passen-
ger's doors
The anti-theft system is also operated at the
same time. It prevents the doors from being
unlocked using the lock buttons or door han-
dles. In addition, if the remote control is used,
the interior lamps and the door's courtesy
*
lamps are also switched on or off. The alarm
*
system is also armed or disarmed.
For further details of the alarm system, refer to
page 25.
Operating from inside
By means of the button for central locking, refer

can be opened from outside.<

car is unlocked. The setting is stored for the
