In some model versions or in certain countries, it is possible to
insert the ignition key and have the dash panel lights go on
without switching the engine on. This function is independent of
the vehicle's light connections.
Arrangement of instruments depends on the model and the engine
fitted.

Electronic immobilizer*
When switching the ignition on, the data from the vehicle key is
automatically processed. The warning lamp will flash to confirm
that the data is being compared.
If a non-authorized key is used the warning lamp will flash
permanently. The ignition will not work
⇒"Keys" chapter.K
Brakes/Hand brake
The warning lamp must come on if
• the hand brake is set
If you drive with the hand brake set at more than 6 km/h an
acoustic warning signal will sound.
• the brake fluid level is too low
The ignition must be switched on.
In vehicles with anti-lock system* (ABS), the warning lamp comes
on for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting
the engine. If the ABS* system was faulty the brake warning lamp
would also come on together with the ABS.I If

Locking and unlocking the vehicle
When the front doors are locked or unlocked, all the other doors,
the tank flap and the tailgate are locked or unlocked by the central
locking system.
The central locking system is equipped with an added security
mechanism: Once the vehicle has been locked from the outside,
the internal door locking levers can immediately be moved freely.
In other words they are disengaged from the outside handles. The
doors can no longer be opened from the inside. This makes
breaking in difficult.
The system may be activated from outside both with the key and
the radio-frequency remote control*.
The warning lamp on the driver’s door covering will begin to f fl
li

ck

to show that the security system is activated.
K
Unlocking
To unlock the vehicle, turn the key in a front door or the tailgate
lock to the open position.
N No
ot
te
e
When you open the vehicle the inside lights in door contact position will
come on for about 20 seconds.
If the central locking should fail, all locks – with the exception of the tank
flap – can be operated normally. (If the car was simply locked, simply turn
the key twice in the door locks). Tank flap emergency release

⇒"Anti-theft alarm system" chapter.
On vehicles equipped with electric windows and electric vent wing
windows or an electric sliding roof, the sliding roof or windows
which have been left open can be automatically closed. To do this,
one only needs to hold the key in the lock position until all
windows and the sliding roof are completely closed.
Re-locking
The electrical central lock incorporates an automatic door lock
function which will lock the vehicle in case you do not open a door
or use any lock within 30 seconds from unlocking by remote
control.
If the remote control has been activated accidentally this function
prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked.

the client’s driving style. For further information, consult the Technical
Service.
