Central locking

~3min read

The central locking can be activated and deactivated from the driver's door. This system locks and unlocks all doors and the tailgate (or trunk lid) from the driver's door, using the remote control transmitter (from outside) or the central locking button (from inside). The fuel filler flap can be locked together with all doors and the tailgate (or trunk lid).

The central locking can be operated with the key (from outside) or with the lock switch on the driver's door (from inside).

If the driver's door is not closed properly, the central locking will not operate. This can be changed in the vehicle settings.
