Opening and closing – at the door lock
Do not lock the car from outside if
there is someone inside, because
the doors cannot be unlocked from
inside.<
You can arrange for a signal to be
provided as confirmation that the
car has been locked correctly.<
Certain national market versions
require you to unlock twice, the
first time to unlock the driver's door, the
second time to release the remaining
locks.<
If you wish, you can have this spe-
cial arrangement programmed for
each specific remote control.<
On certain national market ver-
sions, the alarm system can only
be operated from the remote control.
On these cars, unlocking at the door
lock triggers the alarm.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the button on the remote control
or turn the ignition key to position 1.
For further details on the alarm system,
see page 36.<
Convenient operation
The electric windows and the glass
sunroof can also be operated at the
door lock.
> To open: when the door is closed,
turn the key in the door lock to the
release position and hold it there
> To close: when the door is closed,
turn the key to the locking position
and hold it there.
Watch the closing movement to
ensure that no-one is trapped.
The movement is stopped when the key
is released.<
Manual operation
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can lock and unlock the driver's
door by turning the key to the limit posi-
tions in the door lock.
