driver and front passenger is increased by
the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front 3 point
seatbelts to supplement the Air Bag.
In the event of serious front collisions, the system is activated by
sensors which trigger a pyrotechnical charge on both belt
automatic retractors.
This makes the devices roll up and tighten the tensioners.

• Smoke is released when the tensioners are activated. This smoke does
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
• It is extremely important to observe all safety regulations when the
vehicle or any of the system components are scrapped. Technical Service
Centres are familiar with these regulations and can provide the necessary
details.

Locking and unlocking the vehicle
When the front doors are locked or unlocked, all the other doors,
the tank flap and the tailgate are locked or unlocked by the central
locking system.
The central locking system is equipped with an added security
mechanism: Once the vehicle has been locked from the outside,
the internal door locking levers can immediately be moved freely.
In other words they are disengaged from the outside handles. The
doors can no longer be opened from the inside. This makes
breaking in difficult.
The system may be activated from outside both with the key and
the radio-frequency remote control*.
The warning lamp on the driver’s door covering will begin to f fl

K
Unlocking
To unlock the vehicle, turn the key in a front door or the tailgate
lock to the open position.
N No
ot
te
e
When you open the vehicle the inside lights in door contact position will
come on for about 20 seconds.
If the central locking should fail, all locks – with the exception of the tank
flap – can be operated normally. (If the car was simply locked, simply turn
the key twice in the door locks). Tank flap emergency release

On vehicles equipped with electric windows and electric vent wing
windows or an electric sliding roof, the sliding roof or windows
which have been left open can be automatically closed. To do this,
one only needs to hold the key in the lock position until all
windows and the sliding roof are completely closed.
Re-locking
The electrical central lock incorporates an automatic door lock
function which will lock the vehicle in case you do not open a door
or use any lock within 30 seconds from unlocking by remote
control.
If the remote control has been activated accidentally this function
prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked.

Door release lever
The doors and the tailgate can also be locked with the driver’s door
release lever. To do this, pull or press the lever in the direction
shown (see illustration). However, the added security mechanism,
the passenger door and rear door release levers do not affect the
other locking areas. These levers only lock or unlock the one door.
The driver’s door cannot be locked by pressing the locking knob
down as long as the door is open. This is to prevent you from
locking yourself out.
The doors can be opened with the release levers. First press the
release lever in and then pull to open the door.If the driver’s door isn no
ot
t
properly closed (on the catch), it is not
possible to lock the vehicle. The driver’s door must be opened and
then closed again properly. The doors can then be locked.
