unlocking It is an anti-theft system and prevents the un-
int
ention
al u

nlocking 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 unlock

ing system* This is a safety system which prevents access
to the v
ehic

le 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.
Activating the system*
With the ignition on, press the locking key on
the central locking system within 3 to 10 sec-
onds. Deactivating the system*
With the ignition on, pre
s

s the unlocking key
on the central locking system within 3 to 10

The central lock button allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central lock button also works with the
ignition switched off, except when the “safe”
system is activated.
Please note the following if you lock your ve-
hicle with the central lock button:
● Locking the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
cess
from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This av
oids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle. ●
All door
s can be unlocked separately from
inside the vehicle. Do this by pulling the door
release lever once. WARNING
● If the v ehic

le is locked, children and disa-
bled people may be trapped inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will
prevent the c
entral lock button from working
for a few seconds. Then, it can only be un-
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
when the vehicl
e is locked from the outside
(with the remote control or the key). Note
● Vehicl e loc

ked,  button.
● Vehicle unlocked,  button. Childproof lock

Up to five remote control keys can be used. Anti-theft alarm*
Desc
ription of anti-theft alarm sys-
tem* The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
break
int

o the vehicle or steal it. The system
will initiate acoustic and optical warning sig-
nals when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
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
opening and deactiv atin

g the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activating the al
arm. When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system trig

gers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicle k
ey without switching on the ignition
in the next 15 seconds (in certain markets,
such as the Netherlands, the alarm is activa-
ted immediately).
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated
key.
● Mov

ements in the driving compartment
(vehicle
s with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this ca
se, the acoustic signals will go off
and the turn signal will flash for approximate-
ly 30 seconds. This cycle may be repeated up
to 10 times depending on the country. »1)

● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such as
loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v ehic

le 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 sensor, thi
s 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.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehicl
e 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
rear lid is
open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
