The central locking can also be operated
from inside the car by means of the
switch on the center console (except on
Convertibles).
• To lock all doors: press the symbol side of
the switch once.
• To unlock the driver´s door: press the
switch once.

This switch is inoperative when the car is

The interior locking buttons on each door
affect only the respective door on sedan.
The driver´s door lock button will
lock/unlock both on the Convertible.
If the car is left with the doors open, the inte-
rior lighting will be switched off automati-
cally after 20 minutes, to prevent a dead
battery.
Changing the remote-control
battery
When the battery voltage in the remote con-
trol falls below a predetermined level the
SID will issue the following message:
REPLACE KEY BATTERY. Press the
CLEAR button on the SID to acknowledge
this message. You must then replace the
battery without delay to avoid malfunctions.
The life of the battery is 4-5 years. After
changing the battery you must press the
unlocking button of the remote control four
times (or until the door locks cycle) while the
car is within the range of the remote control
in order for the control module to recognize
the remote.
WARNING
Having the doors locked when you are
driving will reduce the likelihood of:
• Children, in particular, opening doors
and falling out of the car.
• Intruders entering the car when it is
moving slowly or at a standstill.
• Injury resulting from a door bursting
open in the event of an accident.
However, you must also be remembered
that locked doors can hamper rescuers in
the event of an accident.
