Now, turn off the ignition and press the central locking button three times again, with the vehicle off. Restart the vehicle. You will hear a short beep indicating that you are in programming mode.

Now, each brief press of the button will activate or deactivate the automatic LOCK function, while each long press will activate or deactivate the automatic UNLOCK function. When finished, turn off the engine.

A short beep will confirm that you have exited programming mode.
