impact exceeds a preset threshold.
The vehicle locks automatically when the igni-
tion is switched on and the wheels are turning
at vehicle speeds of approximately 9 mph
(15 km/h) or more. You could therefore lock
yourself out when the vehicle is pushed or
towed or is on a test stand.
You can deactivate the automatic central
locking using the control system
(Y page 124).
