Activating and deactivating private locking

Updated 08/06/2023

Private locking is activated with a function button in the centre display and an optional PIN code.

Note

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

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.

To create a security code:

Press the button for private locking in the function view.
