AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Operating principleAfter the vehicle is started, the system 
automatically locks the doors when you 
are driving at approximately 6 mph 
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
–  by pressing central door unlocking 
switch 2.
–  at a standstill, by opening a front 
door from inside the vehicle.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it 
will automatically lock again when the 
vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph 
(10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the 
function
To switch it on: with the vehicle at a 
standstill and the engine running, press 
switch 2 until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a 
standstill and the engine running, press 
switch 2 until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate the 
function from the menu on the multi-
function screen  1 (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Vehicle settings customisa-
tion menu” section 1, “Auto door locking 
while driving” function).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no 
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in switch  2 does not light up 
when trying to lock the doors and boot, 
etc.), make sure that locking has not 
been deactivated by mistake and check 
that the doors and boot are properly 
closed. If they are correctly locked and 
the fault is still present, contact an au-
thorised dealer.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the 
doors locked when you are 
driving, remember that it 
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the 
passenger compartment in the 
event of an emergency.

If your seat belt is completely jammed, 
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

2.15
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution 
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights 
Ä and ©, consult an 
authorised dealer immediately. 
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the  tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully  charged,
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.

lises the vehicle when  the engine is 
switched off by pressing the engine 
start/stop button  1  or by turning the 
ignition key (key in the “  ON"   2 po-
sition).
In all other circumstances, for example 
stalling of the engine or placing of 
the engine on standby by the  Stop 
and Start function (refer to the informa-
tion on the "Stop and Start" function in 
Section 2), the electronic parking brake 
is not applied automatically. Manual 
mode must be used. For certain country-specific model ver-
sions, the assisted brake application 
function is not activated. Refer to the 
information on “Manual operation”.
To confirm that the electronic parking 
brake is applied, the message “Parking 
brake on” and warning light 
} 
on the instrument panel and warning 
light 3 on the switch 2 light up.
After the engine is switched off, indi-
cator light  3 goes out several minutes

Before leaving the vehi-
cle, check that the assisted 
parking brake is fully ap-
plied. Warning light  3 on
