Activating and deactivating private locking

Updated 2023-06-08

Private locking is activated using the function button in the center display and a PIN code.

Note

For the valet lock function to be activated the car must be in at least ignition mode I.

Entering security code before initial use

The first time the function is used, a security code must be selected. This code can then be used to deactivate private locking if the selected PIN code has been lost or forgotten. The security code functions as a PUK (security) code for all PIN codes used for private locking.

Save the security code in a safe place.

To create a security code:

Tap the button for private locking in Function view.

A pop-up window will appear.

Enter your security code.

The security code is saved. The private locking function is now ready for activation.

If the system has been reset, the above procedure will need to be repeated.
