  • The deadlock mechanism will not be activated .
  • The anti-theft alarm will not be activated.
  • It is not possible to open the doors or tailgate from the outside, for instance when stopped at traffic lights.
  • The doors can be unlocked and opened from inside by pulling the door release handle. You may have to pull the door release lever more than once.
  • If the driver door is open, it will not be locked. This prevents you from locking yourself out of the vehicle.

The vehicle will unlock automatically once the vehicle has come to a standstill and the vehicle key has been removed or the button is pressed.
