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
> Liftgate
> Fuel filler door
Operating from outside
>via the remote control
> via the door lock
> with comfort access
* via the door handles
The interior lamps and the courtesy lamps
* are
also switched on and off with the remote con-
trol. The alarm system
is armed/disarmed at the
same time.

alarm system
on page 38.
Operating from inside
Via the button for centra l locking, refer to
page 32. The fuel filler door is not locked.
In an accident of sufficient severity, the central

cle. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and
interior lamps come on.

parked vehicle can lock the doors from
