Central locking system
The principle
The central locking system functions when the
driver's door is closed.
The following are unlocked or locked in combi-
nation:
> Doors
> Tailgate
> Fuel filler flap
Operating from outside
> Via the remote control
> Via the door lock
*
> With convenient access
*
by means of the
handles on the driver's and the front pas-
senger's door
The deadlocks
*
are operated at the same time.
The latter prevent the doors from being
unlocked either at the safety lock buttons or
door handles. In addition, if the remote control
is used, the welcome lights
*
, the interior lights
and the doors' ground lights
*
are switched on
or off. The alarm system
*
is also armed or dis-
armed.
For further details of the alarm system
*
, see
page 29.
Operating from inside
By means of the button for central locking, see
page 28.
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and the
interior lights are switched on.
Opening and closing:
With the remote control
Persons remaining in the car or pets left
inside can lock the doors from the inside.
You should therefore take the remote control
with you when you get out of the vehicle so that
the latter can be opened from the outside.<
Unlocking
Press the button.
The interior lights, the doors' ground lights
*
and the welcome lights come on.
On the 3-door model, press the button
twice.
When the door is opened, the window is low-
ered to make access easier.
