If
y
ou need a replacement key, go to a Techni-
cal Service with your vehicle identification
number. WARNING
● An incorr ect
use of the keys can cause seri-
ous injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehic
le. In case of emergency, they may
not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on
their own.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start
the engine or activat
e any electric equipment
(e.g. electric windows), causing risk of acci-
dent. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could become an ob-
stacle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. An
unauthori
sed use of your vehicle could result
in injury, damage or theft. Therefore always
take the key with you when you leave the ve-
hicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehic
le is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could suddenly block and it would be im-
possible to steer the vehicle. CAUTION

trol if the button is repeatedly pressed out-
side of the effective range of the radio fre-
quency remote control. The remote control
key will have to be resynchronised. Spare remote control keys are available at
your T

dren un
accompanied inside, as from the out-
side it will be difficult to provide assistance if
required.
● Having the doors locked prevents intruders
from gettin

Note
For anti-theft security, only the driver door is
fitted w ith a loc
k cylinder.Safe security system*
1)This is an anti-theft device which consists of
a doubl
e loc
k for the door locks and a deacti-
vation function for the boot in order to pre-
vent forced entry.
Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehi-
cle is locked using the key or the remote con-
trol.
To activate it with the key, rotate once it is in-
serted in the door lock cylinder in the locking
direction.
To activate the system using the remote con-
trol, press the lock button once on the re-
mote.
Once this system is activated, opening doors
from the outside and the inside is not possi-
ble. The rear lid can not be opened. The cen-
tral lock button does not work.
When the ignition is switched off, the instru-
ment panel display indicates that the “Safe”
system is on. Deactivation
Rot
at
e the key inserted in the lock cylinder
twice towards the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote con-
trol, press the lock button on the remote
twice in less than five seconds.
On deactivating the “Safe” system, the alarm
volumetric sensor is also deactivated.
With the “Safe” switched off, doors can be
opened from the interior but not from the ex-
terior.
See “Selective unlocking system*”
“Safe” status
On the driver door, there is warning lamp visi-
ble from outside the vehicle through the win-
dow which shows the “Safe” system status.
We will know that “Safe” system is activated
by the flashing warning lamp. The indicator
will flash on all vehicles, fitted and nor fitted
with an alarm, until they unlock.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without an alarm:
warning lamp flashes continuously.
Safe deactivated without an alarm: the warn-
ing lamp stays off. Safe deactivated with an alarm: the warning
l amp stays off. WARNING
No one should remain inside the vehicle if the
“Safe” sy s
tem is activated because opening
the doors will not be possible in the event of
an emergency neither from the inside nor the
outside and help from the outside is made
difficult. Danger of death. Passengers could
become trapped inside in case of emergency. Selective unlocking system*
This system allows to unlock either just the

Self-locking system to prevent invol-
untar
y unlocking It is an anti-theft system and prevents the un-
int
ention
al
unlocking of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked and none of the
doors (including the boot) are opened within
30 seconds, it re-locks automatically. Automatic speed-dependent locking
and unloc
king system* This is a safety system which prevents access
to the
v
ehicle from the outside when it is run-
ning (e.g. when stopped at a traffic light).
Locking
The doors will lock automatically if the speed
of 15 km/h (9 mph) is exceeded. The rear lid
will lock automatically if the speed of 6 km/h
(4 mph) is exceeded.
If the vehicle is stopped and any of its doors
open, when starting again and exceeding the
mentioned speed, all doors will lock again.
Unlocking
On withdrawing the ignition key, the vehicle
will returns to its status prior to self-locking.
Each door can be unlocked and opened inde-
pendently from the inside (for example, when
a passenger gets out). To do it, simply oper-
ate the lever inside the door. WARNING
The door handles must not be operated when
the v ehic
le is running: the door would open. Note
If the airbags are triggered during an acci-
dent, the v ehic
le is unlocked, except for the luggage compartment. It is possible to lock
the v
ehic
le from inside with the central lock-
ing, after turning the ignition off and back on

lease lever once. WARNING
● If the v
ehicle is locked, children and disa-
bled people may be trapped inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will
prevent
the central lock button from working

locked in case it has been previously locked.
After few seconds, the central locking be-
comes operative again.
● The central lock button is not operative

Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensors on
the passenger doors are automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in an unusual manner
with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bush rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a certain period of
time.
Sensors will again be enabled:
● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the
butt
on on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.
● OR: if
the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the key
