- Auto-locking to prevent involuntary unlocking
- Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
- Emergency unlocking system
Note
For anti-theft security, only the driver's door is fitted with a lock cylinder.Safety system “Safe”
This is an anti-theft device consisting of a double lock for the 
door locks and a deactivation func
tion for the boot in order to 
make forced entry more difficult.Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehicle is locked using the key or the 
remote control.
To activate this system with the key,  rotate the key once in the door lock 
cylinder in the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on the 
remote  once.
When this system is activated, it is  not possible to open the doors normally, 
from the outside or the inside. The boot/tailgate may not be opened. The 
central locking button does not work.
Voluntary deactivation
The “Safe” system can be deactivated voluntarily by the user.
This is done by locking two times in quick succession (in under 2 seconds). 
This double locking can be executed  using the key or the remote control.
Using the key, rotate the lock cyli nder twice in the locking direction. To activate the system using the remote control, press the lock button on the 
remote  twice.
When the “Safe” system is deactivated, the alarm volumetric sensor is also 
deactivated.
When the “Safe” system is deactivated, the doors are locked using the simple 
locking system, meaning that they may 
be opened from the interior but not 
from the exterior.
Involuntary deactivation
The methods described for deactivati on of the “Safe” system may be 
executed involuntarily (for example, if we press the button   because we 
want to lock the vehicle, and it locks as a result, however, we are not sure that 
it is locked and we press the button once more within 2 seconds, we will have 
deactivated the “Safe” system).
Deactivation when opening
To deactivate the system on opening, see “Selective unlocking system*”.
“Safe” status
On the driver's door, there is a light in dicator visible from the outside of the 
vehicle that indicates the “Safe” system status.
We can see that the “Safe” system is activated, by the flashing of the light 
indicator . The indicator will flash on all  vehicles, whether they are fitted with 
an alarm or not, and until the vehicle is unlocked.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without alarm:  Continuous flashing of the indicator.
Safe deactivated without alarm:  The indicator remains unlit.
Safe deactivated with alarm:  The indicator remains unlit.

WARNING
No one should remain in the vehicle  if the “Safe” deadlock mechanism has 
been activated. It is not possible to open the doors from the inside or the 
outside and this would make any outsid e intervention difficult in case of 
emergency. Danger of death. People  could become trapped inside in an 
emergency.Selective unlocking system* 
This system allows for unlocking only the driver's door, or all 
the vehicle.Driver's door unlock button
This is done by a simple unlocking (on ce). This can be done with the key or 
the remote control.
With the key,  rotate the key once in the lock cylinder in the unlock direction. 
The driver's door will be released from the “Safe” system and unlocked and 
may be opened, the indicator light will also be switched off. For vehicles fitted 
with an alarm, this system is deactivated.
Using the remote control, press the unlock button on the remote   once. The 
“Safe” system is deactivated for all the vehicle, only the driver's door is 
unlocked for opening, the alarm is turned off as is the light indicator.
Unlocking all doors and the boot
So that all the doors and the boot can be opened, the unlock button   on 
the remote must be pressed twice.
The button must be pressed twice in under 2 seconds and this will deactivate 
the “Safe” system for all the vehicle, all doors will be unlocked and the boot 
will be activated. The indicator will be  turned off as will be the alarm for those 
vehicles fitted with one. Unlocking the boot
See 
⇒page 76 and  ⇒page 81.
Locking system for involuntary unlocking
This is an anti-theft system and will avoid situations where 
the vehicle is opened unintentionallyThe vehicle will be re-locked automatically, if it is unlocked and neither the 
boot nor any of the doors are opened within 30 seconds. This function 
prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is 
pressed by mistake.Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*
This is a safety system to prevent access to the vehicle from 
the exterior when the vehicle is in transit (for example, when 
stopped at a traffic light).Locking
The doors and the boot are automatically locked when vehicle speed exceeds 
15 km/h.
If the vehicle is stopped and one of the doors is opened, when the vehicle 
moves off again and exceeds a speed of 15 km/h the unlocked door(s) will be 
locked once more.
Unlocking
The driver's door automatically unlocks when the key is removed from the 
ignition.

be operated, this could cause a door to open.Emergency unlocking systemThe entire vehicle is unlocked if the airbags are triggered during an accident, 
except for the boot. It is possible to lock the vehicle from inside using the 
central locking, after turning the  ignition off and back on again.

Note•
If, after deactivating the volumetric sensor, the vehicle is locked using the 
remote control or the key in the door lo ck in under 30 seconds, the volumetric 
sensor will remain deactivated. The other functions of the anti-theft alarm* 
will remain activated. After this time,  the deactivation function of the volu-
metric sensor is cancelled.
•
If the vehicle is relocked and the al arm is activated without the volumetric 
sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions, except 
the volumetric sensor. This function is  reactivated when the alarm is next 
switched on, unless it is deliberately switched off.
•
If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-
cated by a flashing of the indicator on the driver's door. The flash is different 
to the flash indicating the alarm is activated.
•
If the alarm is triggered three times by the volumetric sensor, the alarm 
system is no longer triggered.
•
Triggering caused by other sensors (doors, boot opening, etc.) will 
continue.
