Central unlocking
- A short press on button B un-locks your vehicle.
The unlocking is confi rmed by the fl ashing of the direction indicators, and by the disarming of the alarm if the vehicle has one.
The unlocking activates:
- the deployment (to the last po-sition registered) of the exterior rear view mirrors,
- the direction indicator side re-peaters (located underneath the exterior rear view mirrors),
- the timed lighting of the interior lamps and the sill lighting for around 30 seconds,
- the timed lighting of the exterior side lighters (located underneath the exterior rear view mirrors) for around 30 seconds.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when someone is inside the vehicle because it is impossible to unlock the vehicle from the i nside (without the remote control).
When you are closing the windows and/or the panoramic glass roo f blind with the remote control, you must make sure that no-one is ob-structing them from closing properly.
Note : if none of the doors is opened within thirty seconds fol-lowing unlocking, the doors auto-matically relock.
Central locking - Deadlocking
- A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
- A long press on button A alsocloses the windows and the pan-oramic glass roof blind.
The locking is confi rmed by the continuous lighting of the direction indicators and the arming of the alarm.
The locking activates:
- folding of the exterior rear view mirrors,
- operation of the guide-me-home lighting, if it is activated,
- the exterior side lighters.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, a re-bound sound signals to you that it is impossible to lock the vehicle.
For vehicles equipped with dead-locking, two successive presses on button A deadlock the vehicle. It is then impossible to open the doors either from the inside or from the outside.
Selectivity of doors
Having selected “driver” in the “ac-cess to the vehicle” menu of the multifunction screen :

- a second press opens all of the doors and the tailgate.

Your vehicle may be equipped with an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM.
This provides :
• Exterior perimeter protection by means of detectors on the vehi-cle access points (doors, boot, bonnet) as well as on the electri-cal supply.
• Interior volumetric protection by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside the passenger compartment). This can be deactivated using the control 1.
The installation also has a siren, and a warning lamp on the control 1 which is visible from outside the vehicle, indicating the three pos-sible statuses of the alarm:
• Alarm not active (disarmed), warning lamp off.
• Alarm active (armed), the warn-ing lamp fl ashes slowly.
• Alarm triggered (signalling an intrusion), the warning lamp fl ashes rapidly if the alarm is dis-armed by a press on the control B. It stops as soon as you switch on the ignition.
Note : If there is a malfunction, the warning lamp remains perma-nently on.
DISARMING OF THE ALARM USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
The alarm is disarmed when you unlock the vehicle (with a press on button B on the remote control).
DISARMING OF THE ALARM WITH THE KEY
Unlock the doors with the key. The siren triggers. Enter the ve-hicle, insert the key in the ignition and turn it to the drive position to stop the siren. Otherwise the si-ren will continue for approximately 30 seconds.
