Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system functions when the
driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Trunk lid
> Fuel filler flap
Operating from outside
> Via the remote control
> Via the door lock
*
> In cars with Comfort Access
*
, via the han-
dles on the driver's and front passenger
doors
In addition, if the remote control is used, the
welcome lamps
*
, interior lamps and the door's
courtesy lamps
*
are switched on or off. The
alarm system
*
is also armed or disarmed.
For further details on the alarm system
*
, refer
to page 24.
Operating from inside
By means of the button for central locking, refer
to page 22.
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:
Using the remote control
Persons or animals in a parked vehicle
could lock the doors from the inside. You
should therefore take the remote control with
you when you leave the vehicle so that the latter
can be opened from outside.<
Convertible: to operate the convertible
top with the remote control, the doors and
trunk lid must be closed and the cargo area par-
tition must be folded down and engaged on
both sides. Refer also to page 32.<
Unlocking
Press the button.
The interior lamps, the courtesy lamps
*
and the
welcome lamps come on.
Setting unlocking characteristics
You can set whether only the driver's door or
the entire vehicle is to be unlocked when the
button is pressed for the first time.
For operating principle refer to page 65.
1. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 48.
2. Briefly press button 1 in the turn signal/high
beam lever up or down repeatedly until the
symbol appears in the display, accompa-
nied by the word "SET".
