RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL UNIT: deadlocking
Never use deadlocking if
someone is still inside the
vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-
locking function, this allows you to lock
the opening elements and to prevent
the doors from being unlocked using
the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).
To do this, press button 1 twice in quick
succession.
The hazard warning lights and indicator
lights give two slow flashes and three
quick flashes to indicate locking.
Special note: deadlocking is not pos-
sible if the hazard warning lights or the
side lights are lit.
