32nCentral locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation as soon as you close the
driver's door. 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 driver's door or
luggage compartment lock and with
the remote control
> from inside via the central locking
button.
The fuel filler door remains unlocked
when you activate the system from inside
the vehicle.
The anti-theft system is automatically
armed whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is also activated
or deactivated.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically
(only those doors which were not
locked separately with the safety lock
buttons). Refer to page 36. In addition,
the hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.
