Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing
vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. The indi-
cator light in the driver's door flashes. It is not possible to open the doors with the door
handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for
attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system by locking twice within 5 seconds.
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, you can open the
vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever. The door is unlocked and
opened at the same time.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person and animals in the vehicle as it is then not
possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency -
hazard!
Note
The anti-theft alarm system* is also activated with the deactivated safe securing
system when locking the vehicle. The interior monitor* is however not activated.
