soon as the electronic key is in the recognition 
zone.
Selective unlocking
F To unlock only the drivers door, with the 
e lectronic key on your person, pass your 
hand behind the driver's door handle.
This setting is done via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
By default, complete unlocking is 
activated.
Unlocking is confirmed by rapid 
flashing of the direction indicators for 
approximately two seconds.
The door mirrors unfold at the same 
time.
If the alarm is on, the audible warning 
triggered when opening a door with the 
key (integral with the remote control), will 
stop when the ignition is switched
 o

do not leave your electronic key in the 
vehicle, even when you are close to it.

When the vehicle is locked, if it is 
unlocked inadvertently, it will lock itself 
again automatically after about thirty
