● Start and stop the engine ⇒ page 172
● Notes for the user ⇒ page 259
● Emergency locking and unlocking ⇒ page 318
WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may result in severe injury and
accident.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever you leave the vehicle.
Children and unauthorised individuals could lock the doors or the rear
lid, start the engine or turn the ignition on activating electrical systems,
for example: the electric windows.
● Never leave children or disabled people alone in the car. They could
be trapped in the car in an emergency and will not be able to get them-
selves to safety. For example, depending on the time of the year, temper-
atures inside a locked and closed vehicle can be extremely high or ex-
tremely low resulting in serious injuries and illness or even death, partic-
ularly for young children.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The
steering may lock and it will not be possible to turn the steering wheel.

Opening and closing
Vehicle keys
With the vehicle key ⇒ Fig. 40 or ⇒ Fig. 41 the vehicle may be locked or un-
locked remotely.
The vehicle key includes an emitter and batteries. The receiver is in the inte-
rior of the vehicle. The range of the vehicle key with remote control and new
batteries is several metres around the vehicle.
If it is not possible to open or close the vehicle using the remote control key,
this should be re-synchronised ⇒ page 75 or the battery changed
⇒ page 74.
Different keys belonging to the vehicle may be used.
Folding the key shaft in and out
When the button A
is pressed, the key shaft is released and unfolds.
To fold it press the button A
and fold the key shaft in until it locks in place.
Duplicate keys
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys, the vehicle chassis number is
required.
Each new key must contain a microchip and be coded with the data from the
vehicle electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will not work if it does not con-
tain microchip or the microchip has not been encoded. This is also true for
keys cut for the vehicle.
The vehicle keys or new spare keys can be obtained from a Technical Serv-
ice, a specialised workshop or approved key service qualified to create this
kind of key.
New keys or spare keys must be synchronised before use ⇒ page 75.
CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic components. Protect the vehicle
keys from damage, impacts and humidity.
Note
● Only use the key button when you require the corresponding function.
Pushing the button unnecessarily could accidentally unlock the vehicle or
trigger the alarm. It is also possible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
● Key operation can be greatly influenced by overlapping radio signals
around the vehicle working in the same range of frequencies (for example,
radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather con-
ditions and discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the
remote control.

CAUTION
● If the battery is not changed correctly, the vehicle key may be damaged.
● Use of unsuitable batteries may damage the vehicle key. For this reason,
always replace the dead battery with another of the same voltage, size and
specifications.
For the sake of the environment
● Please dispose of your used batteries correctly and with respect for the
environment.
● The vehicle key battery may contain perchlorate. Observe the legal re-
quirements for their disposal. Synchronising the vehicle key
If the button
is pressed frequently outside of the vehicle range, it is pos-
sible that the vehicle can no longer be locked or unlocked using the key. In
this case, the vehicle key must be synchronised once more as follows:
● Unfold the key shaft ⇒ page 73.
● Remove the cover from the driver door handle ⇒ page 318.
● Press the button
on the vehicle key. For this, it must remain with the
vehicle.

● Turn on the ignition using the vehicle key. The key has been synchron-
ised.
● Replace the driver door handle cover.
Central locking and locking system
Introduction
Central locking functions correctly when all the doors and the rear lid are
correctly shut. If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked with
the key.
The battery of a vehicle left unlocked during a long period (for instance, in a
private garage) may run down and fail to start the motor.

WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking system may cause serious inju-
ries.
● The central locking system will lock all doors. A vehicle locked from
the inside can prevent any non-authorised individual from opening the
doors and accessing the vehicle. Nevertheless, in case of emergency or
accident, locked doors will complicate access to the vehicle interior to
help the passengers.
● Never leave children or disabled people alone in the vehicle. The cen-
tral locking button can be used to lock all the doors from within. There-
fore, passengers will be locked inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in
the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
● Depending on the time of the year, temperatures inside a locked and
closed vehicle can be extremely high or extremely low resulting in seri-
ous injuries and illness or even death, particularly for young children.
● Never leave individuals locked in a closed and locked vehicle. In case
of emergency, they may not be able to exit the vehicle by themselves or
get help.
Description of the central locking system
The central locking system allows all doors and the rear lid to be locked and
unlocked centrally.
● From outside, using the vehicle key.
● From inside, by pushing the central locking button ⇒ page 78. In the submenu Convenience in the Configuration menu, or by visiting a spe-
cialised workshop, special functions of the central locking system can be
switched on or off ⇒ page 62.
In case of a vehicle key fault or central locking system fault, all doors can be
locked or unlocked manually.
Locking the vehicle after the airbags have been deployed
If the airbags are deployed due to an accident, the vehicle will be automati-
cally and completely unlocked. Depending on the amount of damage, the
vehicle can be locked following an accident in the following ways:
effectNecessary operationsLocking the vehicle
from within:– Turn off the ignition and turn it on again.
– Push the central locking button .Locking the vehicle
from the outside:– Turn off the ignition and turn it on again.
OR: – Remove the key from the ignition.

The vehicle key only locks and unlocks the vehicle if it is within range of the
vehicle and if the batteries have enough power. When locking, the vehicle's
turn signals will blink.
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked with the key. If you
unlock the vehicle without opening any doors or the rear lid, it will lock
again automatically after a few seconds. This function prevents the vehicle
from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is pressed by mistake.
