The central locking system can be activated only when the driver's door is closed.
The vehicle unlocking/locking procedure is initiated by the following system components:

identification transmitter by way of a radio signal from the Comfort
Access System. This makes it possible to unlock the vehicle without
actively using the identification transmitter.

• Central locking, driver's and front passenger's door
