Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed. This
simultaneously engages and releases the locks
on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door
The central locking system can be operated
from the outside:
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
>with Comfort Access
* via the door handles
and from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the fuel
filler door remains unlocked. Refer to page34.
Each time the central locking system is locked
or unlocked from outside the vehicle, this simul-
taneously engages or disengages the anti-theft
system. The alarm system is also armed or dis-
armed. The remote control also switches the
interior lamps on and off.
For additional details on alarm system
refer to
page37.
In an accident of corresponding severity, the
central locking system automatically unlocks
the vehicle. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps switch on.

tended in a parked vehicle could lock the
