The following settings mentioned last are also
called up during unlocking:
>Driver's seat, exterior-mirror and steering-
wheel position, refer to page46

video sources, refer to page133
>The volume setting for the telephone, refer

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed. This
simultaneously engages and releases the locks
on the following:
>Doors
>Compartment in the front center console
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door
The central locking system can be operated
from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the door lock
and from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
If operated from the inside, the fuel filler door
and the compartment in the front center con-
sole are not locked, refer to page31.
The anti-theft system is automatically activated
whenever you activate the central locking sys-
tem from outside the vehicle. It prevents the
doors from being unlocked using the lock but-
tons or door handles. The alarm system is
armed/disarmed at the same time. The dome
light is also switched on and off with the remote
control.
You can find more detailed information on the
alarm system on page34.In the event of a serious accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. The haz-
ard warning flashers and interior lamps also
switch on.
Opening and closing: from
outside
Using the remote control
Protect the remote control against unau-
thorized use by handing over only the
spare key, for example when using hotel valet
parking.<
Because any persons or animals left unat-
tended in a parked vehicle could lock the
doors from the inside, you should always keep
the remote control with you; this precaution
ensures that you will remain able to unlock the
vehicle from the outside at all times.<

controller.

ler.

troller.
5.Select "Unlock button" and press the con-
troller.
