38Central locking system*DescriptionUnlocking or locking the vehicle causes all doors to be unlocked or locked at the
same time by the central locking system. The boot lid is unlocked when opening. It
can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the licence plate ⇒page 41, fig. 39 .
Operation of the central locking system is possible:•
from the outside using the vehicle key ⇒page 39,
•
using the button for the central locking system ⇒page 40,
•
by using the remote control ⇒page 42.
•
with the securing knobs in the doors ⇒page 40, fig. 38 - only for vehicles which
are not fitted with electrically operated power windows (only for locking).
Warning light and securing knobs in the doors
All the securing knob s move upwards when unlocking.
The driver door must be closed when locking. Other doors can also be closed after
locking.
All the securing knobs move downwards when locking. If this is not the case, the
relevant door must be opened once again and properly closed.
The warning light flashes in the driver door, next to the securing knob, to confirm
that the vehicle has been correctly locked. The warning light will not flash if the safe
securing system is deactivated ⇒page 38.
This is not the case, however, for vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system* since the
indicator light is showing that the system is active.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒page 45, “Window convenience operation”.
Opening a single door*
This function allows one to just unlock the driver's door. The other doors remain
locked and are only unlocked when the command is repeated. If you wish, you can have a specialist garage
activate the function of the single door
opening mode.
WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary opening in an exceptional situation
(an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from
outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it
more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger
to life!
Note
•
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehicle.
•
Only the front doors can be unlocked and locked using the key if the central
locking system fails. You can lock or unlo ck manually the other doors and the boot
lid.
•
Emergency locking of the door ⇒page 40.
•
After locking the vehicle via the central locking system, optically check if all the
doors have been locked - posi tion of the securing knobs.
Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door lock s to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door ha ndle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system. This is done by locking the vehicle with
the key or radio-operated key twice within 2 seconds.
The warning light in the driver door will not flash if the safe securing system is deac-
tivated.
This is not the case, however, for vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system* since the
indicator light is showing that the system is active.
