Safe securing system
The central locking system can be equipped with a safe securing system. The
door locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The
warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-
gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors with
the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent against attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door
flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30 seconds.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked
and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the vehicle
can be opened from the inside by pulling the door opening lever.
WARNING
If the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car 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!
