The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation as soon as you close the front
doors. The system engages or releases
the locks on the
> doors
> liftgate/tailgate
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the remote control
as well as via the driver's door lock
> from inside via the button for the cen-
tral locking system.
If the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer
to page
34 .
When the system is actuated from out-
side of the vehicle, the anti-theft system
is actuated simultaneously. This pre-
vents the doors from being unlocked
via safety lock buttons or door handles.
The alarm system is also armed or dis-
armed.
In a serious accident the central locking
system automatically unlocks, but only
doors which have not been locked sep-
arately with the lock buttons, refer to
page
34 . In addition, the hazard warn-
ing flashers and the interior lamps are
switched on.
