The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
> via the remote control
> via the door lock
and from inside via the button for the cen-
tral locking system.
If operated from the inside, the fuel filler
door and the compartment in the front
center console are not locked, refer to
page 29.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
It prevents the doors from being unlocked
using the safety lock buttons or door han-
dles. The alarm system is armed/disarmed
at the same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. The
hazard warning flashers and interior lamps
also switch on.
Opening and closing: from
outside
Using the remote control
When you lock/unlock the vehicle, you
simultaneously activate/deactivate the
anti-theft system, arm/disarm the alarm
system, and switch the interior lamps on/
off.
Protect the remote control against
unauthorized use by handing over
only the spare key, for example when using
hotel valet parking.<
You can find more detailed information on
the alarm system on page 32.
Because any persons or animals left
unattended 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.<
