Childproof lock Fig. 127
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door .120

Opening and closing
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr om bein
g opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which

you wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door us

ing the ignition key, clockwise
for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 127 and
anti-clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose c

hildproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door us

ing the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 127
and clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside. The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivat

ed by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Anti-theft alarm system* De
scription The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
br
e

ak into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
openin g and de

activating the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activ
ating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for
about 30 seconds accompanied by sound
and optical (flashing) warning signals and
will be repeated about ten times when the
vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-
ised actions are attempted:
● Opening a door that is mechanically un-
lock
ed using the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
certain markets, such as the Netherlands,
there is no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is activated immediately on opening
the door).
●
A door is opened.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The rear lid is opened.
● When the ignition is switched on with a
non-authori
sed key.
● When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
● Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with int
erior monitoring ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-to
w system ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-to
w system ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is transported on a ferry
or by
rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring ››› page 123).
● When a trailer connected to the anti-theft
alarm sy
stem is disconnected.
How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button
on the key or turn on the ignition with a valid
key. Note
● Af t

er 28 days, the indicator light will be

Operation
for a long period of time. The alarm system
r
em
ains activated.
● If, after the audible warning goes off, an-
other monitor
ed area is accessed (e.g. the
rear lid is opened after a door has been
opened), the alarm is triggered again.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the v
ehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button  .
● If the driver door is unlocked mechanically
w ith the k

ey, only the driver door is unlocked,
the rest of the doors remain locked. Only
when the ignition has been turned on will the
other doors be available - but not unlocked -
and the central locking button will be activa-
ted.
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft
alarm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batt
ery is disconnected or not working for
any reason.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the batt
ery cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-
t
o

w system* It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-
r
at

ed in the anti-theft alarm* which detects
unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound. Activation
– It is automatically switched on when the
anti-theft

alarm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
ch

anically or by pressing the  button on
the r emot
e control. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted in the contact should not exceed 15
seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered.
– Press the button  on the remote control
tw ic

e. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for e

xample, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully).
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
comp
letely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
suc
h as loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the

vehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sen
sor, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated. 122

Opening and closing
●
The v
ibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehicle may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
re

ar lid is open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-

so has a sun blind. WARNING
If the sunroof is used negligently or without
p a

ying due attention, it can cause serious in-
jury.
● Open or close the sunroof and the sun blind
only
when no one is in their path of move-
ment.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when ex
iting.
● Never leave a child or any other person who
ma
y need help in the vehicle, especially if
they have access to the vehicle key. If using
they key unattended, they could lock the ve-
hicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition
and activate the sunroof.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or clo
se the sunroof during a short space of time provided that neither the driver
nor p
a

ssenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage, during winter tempera-
tures remove any ice or snow that might be
on the car roof before opening the sunroof or
adjusting the tilt position.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in case of rain-
fa

ll, always close the sunroof. With the sun-
roof open or in a tilted position, water can en-
ter the interior and can cause considerable
damage to the electrical system. As a result,
other damage can occur in the vehicle. Note
● Le

aves and other loose objects that accu-
mulate on the sunroof rails should be regular-
ly cleaned away either by hand or with a vac-
uum.
● If the sunroof does not work correctly, the
