Central locking system Opening and closing – from the outside
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation when both front doors are
closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
> from inside by pressing a button.
The fuel filler door is not locked when
you open the vehicle from the inside
(refer to page 36). The alarm system is
automatically armed whenever you acti-
vate the central locking system from
outside of the vehicle. Both the door
locks and release handles remain
locked. The alarm system is also acti-
vated or deactivated.
If locked from inside, the central locking
system unlocks automatically (only
those doors which were not locked
separately with the safety lock buttons)
in the event of an accident. Refer to
page 36. In addition, the hazard
warning flashers and interior lamps
come on.
Using the key
One turn of the key in the driver's door
lock unlocks the driver's door only.
Turning the key a second time unlocks
all of the remaining doors, the luggage
compartment lid and the fuel filler door.
You can have a confirmation
message set to inform you that the
vehicle has been properly locked.<

ently injured. Releasing the key stops
