the vehicle in an emergency - danger to
life!

vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not possible to open the doors with the door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as
an effective deterrent for attempts to break into your vehicle.

stem by locking twice within 2°seconds.

the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash slowly after about 30 seconds,•

ring system is deacti
vated, you can open
the vehicle from the inside by pulling on the door opening lever.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-vated, there must not be any person and animals in the vehicle as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked
doors make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emer- gency - hazard!

rior monitor* is however not activated.
