Unlocking and locking
92Unlocking and lockingCentral lockingDescription
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all 
the doors and the tailgate from one point.Central locking can be activated us ing any of the following options:•
the key, by inserting it into the driver's door cylinder and rotating manu-
ally,
•
the central locking button , (electronic control) in the passenger compart-
ment  ⇒page 96 .
• the radio frequency remote  contr o l, using the buttons on the key 
⇒  page  99.
Various functions are available to improve the vehicle security:
- Locking system “Safe”
- Selective locking system*
- Auto-locking to prevent involuntary unlocking
- Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
- Emergency unlocking systemNote
For anti-theft security, only the driver's door is fitted with a lock cylinder.
Safety system “Safe”
This is an anti-theft device consisting of a double lock for the 
door locks and a deactivation function for the boot in order to 
make forced entry more difficult.Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehicle is locked using the key or the 
remote control.
To activate this system with the key,  rotate the key once in the door lock 
cylinder in the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on the 
remote  once.
When this system is activated, it is no t possible to open the doors normally, 
from the outside or the inside. The  boot/tailgate may not be opened. The 
central locking button does not work.
Voluntary deactivation
The “Safe” system can be deactivated voluntarily by the user.
This is done by locking two times in quick succession (in under 2 seconds). 
This double locking can be executed  using the key or the remote control.
Using the key, rotate the lock cylinder twice in the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on the 
remote  twice.
When the “Safe” system is deactivated,  the alarm volumetric sensor is also 
deactivated.

Tips and Maintenance
Te c h n i c a l  D a t a
When the “Safe” system is deactivated, the doors are locked using the simple 
locking system, meaning that
 they may be opened from the interior but not 
from the exterior.
Involuntary deactivation
The methods described for deactivation of the “Safe” system may be 
executed involuntarily (for example, if we press the button   because we 
want to lock the vehicle, and it locks as a result, however, we are not sure that 
it is locked and we press the button once more within 2 seconds, we will have 
deactivated the “Safe” system).
Deactivation when opening
To deactivate the system on opening, see “Selective unlocking system*”
“Safe” status
On the front left hand side door, there is a light indicator visible from the 
outside of the vehicle that indicates the “Safe” system status.
We can see that the “Safe” system is activated, by the flashing of the light 
indicator . The indicator will flash on all vehicles, whether they are fitted with 
an alarm or not, and until the vehicle is unlocked.
We can see that the “Safe” system is deactivated, when the light indicator 
flashes about seven times and turns off. If the vehicle is not fitted with an 
alarm then it remains off. If the vehicle is fitted with an alarm, once 28 
seconds have passed since the indicator is switched off, it will start to flash 
again and continue until the vehicle is unlocked once more.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without alarm:  Continuous flashing of the indicator.
Safe deactivated without alarm:  The indicator flashes about seven times and 
turns off.
Safe deactivated with alarm:  The indicator flashes seven times, turns off and 
then continues to flash after 28 seconds.
WARNING
No one should remain in the vehicle  if the “Safe” deadlock mechanism has 
been activated. It is not possible to open the doors from the inside or the 
outside and this would make any outside intervention difficult in case of 
emergency. Danger of death. People could become trapped inside in an 
emergency.Selective unlocking system* 
This system allows for unlocking only the driver's door, or all 
the vehicle.Driver's door unlock button
This is done by a simple unlocking (o nce). This can be done with the key or 
the remote control.
With the key,  rotate the key once in the lock cylinder in the unlock direction. 
The driver's door will be released from the “Safe” system, unlocked and may 
be opened. Once the door is opened, 15 seconds remain for turning on the 
ignition, in which moment, the “Safe” system will be deactivated on the 
remaining doors and the light indicator wi ll be turned off. For vehicles fitted 
with an alarm, this system is deactivated.
Using the remote control,  press the unlock button on the remote  once. The 
“Safe” system is deactivated for all the vehicle, only the driver's door is 
unlocked for opening, the alarm is tu rned off as is the light indicator.
Unlocking all doors and the boot
So that all the doors and the boot ca n be opened, the unlock button   on 
the remote must be pressed twice.
The button must be pressed twice in under 2 seconds and this will deactivate 
the “Safe” system for all the vehicle, all doors will be unlocked and the boot

94will be activated. The indicator will be  turned off as will be the alarm for those 
vehicles fitted with one.
Unlocking the boot
See ⇒ page  99 and ⇒ page 104.Locking system for involuntary unlocking
This is an anti-theft system and will avoid situations where 
the vehicle is opened unintentionallyThe vehicle will be re-locked automatically, if it is unlocked and neither the 
boot or any of the doors are opened  within 30 seconds. This function 
prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is 
pressed by mistake.Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
This is a safety system to prevent access to the vehicle from 
the exterior when the vehicle is in transit (for example, when 
stopped at a traffic light).Locking
The doors and the boot are automatically locked when vehicle speed exceeds 
15 km/h.
If the vehicle is stopped and one of the doors is opened, when the vehicle 
moves off again and exceeds a speed of  15 km/h the unlocked door(s) will be 
locked once more. Unlocking
The driver's door automatically unlocks when the key is removed from the 
ignition.
Each door may be unlocked and opened 
from the interior (for example when 
a passenger gets out). For this, simply operate the lever on the inside of the 
door.
WARNING
When the vehicle is in motion, the internal door release levers should not 
be operated, this could cause a door to open.Emergency unlocking systemThe entire vehicle is unlocked if the airbags are triggered during an accident, 
except for the boot. It is possible to lock the vehicle from inside using the 
central locking, after tu rning the ignition off and back on again.
If the doors must be locked from the outside, see “Manually locking the 
doors” .

Emergency manual locking
This permits mechanical locking of the doors in case of 
central locking system failure.Locking the driver's door manually
Insert the key in the door lock cylinder and rotate in a clockwise direction for 
the left hand side door and anti-clockwise for the right hand side door.
Once the door has been closed it can  no longer be opened from the outside.
Manual (emergency) locking of the remaining doors
Open the door and remove the cap    ⇒fig. 59 printed with a lock image. 
This will expose a circular element with a groove in the centre. Insert the key 
into the groove and rotate the element clockwise for the right hand side doors 
and anticlockwise for the left hand side doors.
Replace the cap and close the door. Once the door has been closed it can no 
longer be opened from the outside. Unlocking the manually (emergency) locked driver's door
Insert the key in the door lock cylinder and rotate anti-clockwise for the left 
hand side doors and clockwise for the right hand side doors.
The door lock is released and the door may be opened using the exterior door 
handle.
Unlocking the remaining manually (emergency) locked doors
First the driver's door must be unlocked to gain entry to the vehicle. Operate 
the internal door handle for the required door. If the child safety lock is acti-
vated on the rear doors, when the interi
or door release lever is operated the 
door is unlocked but does not open.  The exterior door handle may now be 
used to open the door.
