driving. It is therefore necessary to
use each master key at least twice

on page 63.
When the system is actuated from out-
side of the vehicle, the anti-theft system
is actuated simultaneously. This pre-
vents the doors from being unlocked via
lock buttons or door handles. The alarm
system is also armed or disarmed.

central locking system automatically
unlocks, but only doors which have not
been locked separately with the lock
buttons, refer to page 34. In addition,
the hazard warning flashers and the
interior lamps are switched on.
