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
> Via the remote control
> Via the door lock
> In cars with Comfort Access, via the handles 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 lampsare switched on or off. The alarm system is also armed or disarmed.
