The following takes place simultaneously when locking/unlocking the vehicle via the remote control:
- Anti-theft protection is switched on/off. Doors cannot be unlocked using the lock buttons or the door opener.
- The welcome lamps, interior lamps and courtesy lamps* are switched on and off.
- The alarm system*, is armed or disarmed.
