Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
Note
• In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the
locked doors are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to
gain access to the vehicle.
• Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the
central locking system fails. You can lock or unlock manually the other
doors and the boot lid.
− Emergency locking of the door ⇒ page 49.
− Emergency unlocking of the boot lid ⇒ page 51.
Safe securing
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system.
Locking the vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automat-
ically blocked. 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 deter-
rent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the
vehicle with the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating:
• the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast,
goes out and starts to flash slowly after about 30 seconds,
• is the fuel filler flap unlocked.
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is
unlocked and locked again.
The doors can be opened from the inside if the vehicle is locked and the
safe securing system is deactivated:
• the door is unlocked by actuating the door-opening lever,
• the door opens upon actuating the door-opening lever again.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing
system is activated, 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.
