board), never leave the vehicle without taking the key for the Keyless Entry and Starting system, even for a shor t period.Be aware of the risk of theft when thekey for the Keyless Entry and Starting system is in one of the defined zones with the vehicle unlocked.
If one of the doors or the boot is still
open or if the electronic key for theKeyless Entry and Star ting system has been left inside the vehicle, the central locking does not take place.
However, the alarm (if present) will be fully activated after about 45 seconds.
