Central locking system

Opening and closing – from the outside

The concept

The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the

doors

tailgate and rear window

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.

Activating the central locking system
from inside does not lock the fuel filler
door (see page

). When it is actuated

from the outside, the anti-theft system
is activated simultaneously. Both the
door locks and release handles remain
locked. The alarm system is also armed
or disarmed.

If locked from the inside, the central
locking system unlocks automatically in
the event of an accident. But the system
only unlocks those doors that were not
locked separately using the safety
buttons, refer to page

. 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 tailgate
and the fuel filler door.

You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgment message that

the vehicle is closed correctly.

To close: if the door is closed, hold

Watch during the closing process
to be sure that nobody is inadvert-

ently injured. Releasing the key stops
the operation.

Manual operation
