If, on versions with alarm, you want to
leave the windows and/or sunroof partly
open, you must first deactivate the
volumetric alarm protection.
For more information on the Alarm, refer
to the corresponding section.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking deactivates the exterior
and interior door controls, as well as the
central locking button on the dashboard.
The horn remains operational.
You must therefore never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is deadlocked.

Lighting control
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
If one or more lamps fails, a message
asks you to check the lamp or lamps
concerned.
Travelling abroad
The design of the dipped beam headlamps
allows, without modification, driving in
a
country that drives on the other side
of the road to the country in which your
vehicle was sold.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of "Full LED" headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.

situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the foglamps when they are no
longer necessary. Switching off of the lighting when the
