Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system functions when the
driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Trunk lid
> Fuel filler flap
> Convertible: glove compartment
Operating from outside
> Via the remote control
> Via the door lock *
> In cars with Comfort Access * , via the
handles on the driver's and front passenger
doors
In addition, if the remote control is used, the
welcome lamps, interior lamps and the door's
courtesy lamps
* are switched on or off. The
alarm system * is also armed or disarmed.
For further details of the alarm system, refer to
page 32 .
Operating from inside
By means of the button for central locking,
refer to page
30 .
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:
Using the remote control
Persons or animals in a parked vehicle
could lock the doors from the inside. You
should therefore take the remote control with
you when you leave the vehicle so that the latter
can be opened from outside.
<
Convertible: to operate the retractable
hardtop with the remote control, the
doors and trunk lid must be closed and the
cargo area partition must be folded down and
engaged on both sides. Refer also to page
39 . <
Unlocking
Press the button.
The interior lamps, the courtesy lamps * and the
welcome lamps come on.
