Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door
Operating from outside
>Via the remote control
>Via the door lock
>In cars with convenient access
*, via the
handles on the driver's and front passen-
ger's doors
The anti-theft system is operated at the same
time. It prevents the doors from being unlocked
using the lock buttons or door handles. In addi-
tion, if the remote control is used, the welcome
lamps, interior lamps and the door's courtesy
lamps
* are switched on or off. The alarm sys-
tem
* is also armed or disarmed.For further details of the alarm system,
refer to
page34.
Operating from inside
By means of the button for central locking, refer
to page32.
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: from
outside
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 so that the car can be opened from the out-
side.<
Unlocking

vehicle without needing to hold the remote con-
trol in your hand. All you need to do is wear the
remote control close to your body, e.g. in your

within the immediate vicinity or in the passen-
ger compartment.

>Unlocking the luggage compartment lid
separately
>Engine starting
>Convenient closure

can only be locked when the vehicle detects
that the remote control currently in use is
outside of the vehicle.

vehicle detects that the remote control cur-
rently in use is inside the vehicle.

engine running, otherwise such a vehicle repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.

place the transmission in idle or move the
selector lever to position P and apply the hand-
brake to prevent the car from moving.<

running while the vehicle remains stationary.
Instead, begin to drive at a moderate engine
speed.
