Using private locking

The glovebox and tailgate can be locked, so-called private locking, e.g. when the car is taken in for service, left at a hotel or similar.

 Note

The car needs to be in ignition mode I as a minimum for the private locking function to be activated.

Function button for private locking. Depending on the current status of the lock, Private locking unlocked or Private locking locked is shown.

Enter the security code before using for the first time

A security code needs to be selected during the first time the function is used. It can then be used to deactivate private locking if the selected PIN code has been lost or forgotten. The security code acts as a PUK code for all subsequent PIN codes set for the private locking function.

Save the security code in a safe place.

The security code can be activated from the function view or the top view in the centre display.

  • Tap on the Private Locking button in the function view.

Or:

  • Tap on Settings in the top view. Tap on My CarLocking and select Private Locking.
A pop-up window is shown.
Enter the desired security code.
The security code is saved. The private locking function is now ready to be activated.

If the system has been reset then the above procedure needs to be repeated.
