It is an anti-theft system and prevents the unintentional
unlocking of the vehicle.If the vehicle is unlocked and none of the doors (including the tailgate) are
opened within 30 seconds, the vehicle will be re-locked automatically.Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
This is a safety system which prevent the access to the vehicle
from the outside when it is running (for example, when
stopped at a traffic light).Locking
The doors lock automatically after exceeding 15 km/h. The tailgate locks
automatically after exceeding 6 km/h.
If the vehicle is stopped and any of the doors opened, when the vehicle starts
again and above the mentioned speed, all doors will lock again.
Unlocking
On removing the ignition key, the vehicle returns to its status prior to self-
locking.
Each door can be unlocked and opened independently from the inside (for
example, when a passenger gets out of it). To do so, simply operate the lever
inside the door.

The door handles must not be operated when the vehicle is moving: the
door would open.
Note
If the airbags are triggered during an accident, the vehicle is unlocked, except
for the boot. It is possible to lock the vehicle from inside with the central
locking, after turning the ignition off and back on again.

Anti-theft alarm system*Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm triggers if unauthorised movements are
detected around the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. The system will emit acoustic and optical warning signals if someone is

vehicle. For this, either rotate the key in the locking position or press button
on the radio-frequency remote control*. The system is immediately
activated and the indicator light located on the driver's door will flash along
with the indicators, indicating that the alarm and the locking security system
(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 connected. If the door or the
bonnet are subsequently closed, they will be automatically included in the
protection areas of the vehicle and the indicators will flash accordingly when
the doors close.•The indicator light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the alarm..•The indicator light will flash once on closing and activating the alarm.

out when the car is locked:•Opening of vehicle with mechanical key without switching ignition on
within the next 15 seconds•Opening a door•Opening the bonnet
•Opening the tailgate•Ignition switched on with a non-validated key.•Movements in the driving compartment (vehicles with a volume sensor)•Towing of the vehicle

When the headlights are switched on, the brightness of the instruments and
switch lighting can be regulated to suit your requirements by turning the
thumb wheel ⇒fig. 52 .
Those vehicles fitted with xenon gas discharge headlights are fitted with an
automatic headlight range system. Headlight range control
By using the electrical headlight range control, you can adjust the head-
light range to the load level that is being carried in the vehicle. This way, it is
possible to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic more than necessary. At the same
time, by using the correct headlight settings, the driver has the best possible
lighting for the road ahead.
The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam is switched on.
To lower the beam, turn the thumb wheel down from the basic setting
0.
Dynamic headlight range control
Vehicles with gas discharge lamps (xenon lamps) are equipped with dynamic
headlight range control . When you switch on the lights, their range regulates
itself according to the vehicle load.
