Unlocking and locking
70Unlocking and lockingDoorsLocking and unlocking the vehicle
From the outside of the vehicle, the driver's door may be
locked or unlocked using the key.When opened , the latch will rise up (for vehicles without central locking).
For vehicles equipped with electric windows and central locking, if the key is
maintained in the opening position all of the electric side windows will open.
When locking the latch will descend (for vehicles without central locking)
In some vehicle models equipped with electric windows and central locking,
if the key is maintained in the locking position on the driver side, any side
windows left open, as well as the electric sunroof, will close.
For vehicles without central locking, the passenger door and the rear doors
may be locked from the outside without using a key. Just press the button
down and close the door.
The latch on the driver’s door may not be pushed down while the door is open
(only in vehicles without central locking) . This avoids accidentally leaving the
keys in the ignition.
From inside all the doors may be locked by pushing the security buttons down
(in vehicles withou t central locking).
WARNING
•
Exercise extreme caution when closing the windows and the sunroof
from the outside of the vehicle.
•
Closing from the outside without ta king care or observing all the
vehicle may cause bruising for other people especially children.
•
When locking a vehicle, never leave children unaccompanied inside, as
it will be difficult to provide assistance if required.
•
When the doors are locked, any intrusion is impeded, for example while
stopped at a red light.
Ce ntral l ocking *Description
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all
the doors and the tailgate from one point.Central locking can be activated us ing any of the following options:•
the key, by inserting it into the driver's door cylinder and rotating manu-
ally,
•
the central locking button , (electronic control) in the passenger compart-
ment ⇒page 73,
•
the radio frequency remote control , using the buttons on the key

Operating instructions
Tips and Maintenance
Te c h n i c a l D a t a
- 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: Indicator flashes continuously.
Safe deactivated without alarm: The indicator remains off.
Safe deactivated with alarm: The indicator remains off.

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 and the indicator light will switch 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 78 and ⇒page 83.
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 or 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.
