If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the driver’s door, the side being un-
locked, or the entire vehicle. The necessary
adjustments can be performed in vehicles
with a driver information system
›››  page 34.
General information
If a valid key is located in the proximity of the
car ››› Fig. 143, the Keyless Access locking
and starting system gives the key entry as
soon as one of the sensor surfaces on the
driver door handle is touched. The following
features are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handle of the front driver’s door or the
softtouch/handle on the rear lid.
● Keyless-Exit: lockin

gine with the starter button ››› page 178.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change. Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double fl

ash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash.
If the vehicle is locked and then all doors and
the rear lid are closed leaving the last key
used inside the vehicle and none outside,
the vehicle will not lock immediately. All the
vehicle's indicator lights will flash four times.
The vehicle will lock after a few seconds if
you do not open any door or the rear lid.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.

Operation
●
If ther e i
s no valid key inside the vehicle or
the system fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. In
this case, clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic

The anti-theft alarm system is automatically
switched on when locking the vehicle. The
system is immediately activated and the turn
signal light located on the driver door will
flash along with the turn signals, indicating
that the alarm and the locking security sys-
tem (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open,
they will not be included in the protection
zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-
nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse-
quently closed, they will be automatically in-
cluded in the protection areas of the vehicle
and the turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
