WARNING
● Locking from the outside carelessly or without good visibility may
lead to bruising, particularly in the case of children.
● When locking a vehicle, never leave children unaccompanied inside,
as from the outside it will be difficult to provide assistance if required.
● Having the doors locked prevents an intrusion from getting in, for ex-
ample when stopped at a traffic light.
Note
For anti-theft security, only the driver door is fitted with a lock cylinder. 
Safe security system*
This is an anti-theft device that consists of a double lock for
the door locks and a disabling function for the luggage
compartment in order to prevent a forced entry (depending
on country). Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehicle is locked using the key or
the remote control.
To activate it with the key, rotate once it is inserted in the door lock cylinder
in the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button once 
on the remote. 

83
Opening and closing
Once this system is activated, opening doors from the outside and the in-
side is not possible. The rear lid can not be opened. The central lock button
does not work.
When the ignition is switched off, the instrument panel display indicates
that the Safe system is on.
Deactivation
Rotate the key inserted in the lock cylinder twice towards the locking direc-
tion.
To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on
the remote twice 
in less than five seconds.
On deactivating the “Safe” system, the alarm volumetric sensor is also de-
activated.
With the “Safe” switched off, doors can be opened from the interior but not
from the exterior.
See “Selective unlocking system*”
“Safe” status
On the driver door, there is a visible warning lamp 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 continuous-
ly.
Safe deactivated without an alarm: The indicator remains off.
Safe deactivated with an alarm: The indicator remains off.
WARNING
No one should remain inside the vehicle if the “Safe” mechanism is acti-
vated because opening the doors will not be possible in case of emergen-
cy neither from the inside nor the outside. Danger of death. Passengers
could become trapped inside in case of emergency.

Selective unlocking system*
This system allows to unlock either just the driver door or all
the vehicle.
Driver door unlock button
Unlock once. Use either the key or the remote control.
Once the key is inserted in the lock cylinder, rotate once in the unlock direc-
tion. The driver door will remain without “Safe” and unlocked. See Anti-theft
Alarm chapter for vehicles fitted with an alarm ⇒ page 90.
Using the remote control, press the unlock button on the remote 
once.
The Safe system for all the vehicle is deactivated, only the driver door is un-
locked and both the alarm and the warning lamp are also turned off.
Unlocking all doors and the luggage compartment

so that
all doors and the luggage compartment can be opened.

unlock all doors and to use the luggage compartment. The warning lamp
and the alarm (only vehicles fitted with one) are turned off.

Insert the other key into the driver door lock and turn in the opening direc-
tion for at least 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash twice.

Involuntary unlocking
It is an anti-theft system and prevents the unintentional un-
locking of the vehicle. If the vehicle is unlocked and any of the doors (including the rear lid) are
opened within 30 seconds, it gets re-locked automatically. 
Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
This is a safety system which prevent the access to the vehi-
cle 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 (10 mph). The rear lid
locks automatically after exceeding 6 km/h (4 mph).
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 independently from the inside (for
example, when a passenger gets out of it). To do it, simply operate the lever
inside the door.
Activating the system*
With the ignition on, press the locking key on the central locking system
within 3 to 10 seconds.
Deactivating the system*
With the ignition on, press the unlocking key on the central locking system
within 3 to 10 seconds.
In both cases, if the operation has been carried out correctly, the locking
lamp will flash

Locking the doors and rear lid prevents access from the outside (for
safety reasons, e.g. when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked. This avoids the user from forgetting
his key inside the vehicle.

pulling the door release lever once.
WARNING
● If the vehicle is locked, children and disabled people may be trapped
inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will prevent the central lock
button from working for a few seconds. Then, it can only be unlocked in

becomes operative again.
● The central lock button is not operative when the vehicle is locked
from the outside (with the remote control or the key).
