Note: The simultaneous use of other high frequency equipment (mobile telephones, domestic alarms, etc.) may momentarily hinder the operation of the remote control.
If there is a permanent fault, the remote control has to be reinitial-ised. See “Changing remote con-trol batteries”.
Central unlocking
A short press on control B unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is confi rmed by the rapid fl ashing of the direction indicators and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can also deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.
Central locking – Deadlocking
A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
This is confi rmed by the lighting for around 2 seconds of the direction indica-tors and by the interior lamp going out. It may cause the exte rior rear view mirrors to fold back.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central locking does not operate.
For vehicles equipped with deadlocking, two successive presses on co ntrol A will operate deadlocking. It is then impossible to open the doors, either from the inside or from the outside.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a p erson is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without the remote control).
