Operation
●
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked or locked
by using the radio frequency remote control,
the remote control key will have to be re-
synchronised. For this, go to your technical
services. Changing the battery
If the battery indicator does not flash when
the buttons are pushed, the battery must be
replaced.
CAUTION
The use of inappropriate batteries may dam-
age the radio frequency remote control. For
this reason, always replace the dead battery
with another of the same size and power. For the sake of the environment
Used batteries must be disposed of at an ap-
propriate waste facility or through an author-
ised service, given that their components can
affect the environment. Synchronising the remote control key

Anti-theft alarm system* Description of anti-theft alarm
system* The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
break into the vehicle or steal it. The systemwill initiate acoustic and optical warning sig-
nals when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically
switched on when locking the vehicle. The
system is immediately activated and the turn
signal light located on the driver door will
flash along with the turn signals, indicating
that the alarm and the locking security sys-
tem (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open,
they will not be included in the protection
zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-
nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse-
quently closed, they will be automatically in-
cluded in the protection areas of the vehicle
and the turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
opening and deactivating the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicle key without switching on the ignition
in the next 15 seconds (in certain markets,
such as the Netherlands, the alarm is activa-
ted immediately).
84

Opening and closing
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated
key.
● Movements in the driving compartment
(vehicles with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this case, the acoustic signals will go off
and the turn signal will flash for approximate-
ly 30 seconds. This cycle may be repeated up
to 10 times depending on the country.
Opening all the doors in manual mode
In vehicles without an alarm, when opening
the driver door manually, all doors are
opened.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the
key in the opening direction, open the door
and switch the ignition on, or press the un-
lock button  on the remote control. In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm
system, you have 15 seconds to insert the
key in the ignition lock and activate the igni-
tion if the vehicle is opened using the driver
door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec.
and the ignition will be blocked.
Note
● After 28 days, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from
draining if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
● The alarm will trigger again if attempts are
made to open another protection zone.
● The alarm system can be activated or deac-
tivated using the radio frequency remote con-
trol ››› page 83.
● The anti-thef t
alarm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button  .
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft alarm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the battery is disconnected or not working for
any reason. ●
The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the battery cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-
tow system*
Monitoring or control function incorporated
in the anti-theft alarm* which detects unau-
thorized vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound.
Activation
– It is automatically switched on when the
anti-theft alarm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
chanically or by pressing the  button on
the remote control. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted into the contact should not exceed
15 seconds, otherwise the alarm will be
triggered.

The essentials

Operation
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully),
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
completely), ●
Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such as loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehicle may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid is open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Boot hatch

Incorrect use of the sun visor (e.g. pulling
them downwards once they are open) may re-
sult in broken hinges. This damage is not cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty. Windscreen wiper and rear
window wiper systems
Front windscreen wipers  Read the additional information carefully
›››  page 15 WARNING
● Worn and dirty wiper blades reduce visibili-
ty and safety levels while driving.
● In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road.
● Always note the corresponding warnings
››› page 193. WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough rain
to switch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the windscreen obstructs visi-
bility. CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the glass before us-
ing the wipers for the first time. If you switch on the windscreen wipers when the wiper
blades are frozen to the windscreen, you
could damage both the wiper blades and the
wiper motor.
Note
● The windscreen wipers will only work when
the ignition is switched on.
● The heat output of the heated jets* is con-
trolled automatically when the ignition is
switched on, depending upon the outside
temperature.
● In certain versions of vehicles with alarms,
the windscreen wiper will only work in inter-
val/rain sensor mode when the ignition is on
and the bonnet closed.
● When the interval wipe function is on, the
intervals are directly proportional to the
speed. This way, the higher the vehicle speed
the shorter the intervals.
● If you stop the vehicle with the windscreen
wiper in position 1 or 2, it will automatically
change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.
● The windscreen will be wiped again after
approximately five seconds once the “auto-
matic wash/wipe system” has been activa-
ted, provided the vehicle is moving (drip func-
tion). If you activate the wipers less than 3
seconds after the drip function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the “drip” function to work » 97

Operation
●
Periodic cleaning of the sensors, take care
not to damage or scratch them. When clean-
ing with high pressure washers or steam
cleaners, the sensors should be sprayed for
only a very short period and from a distance
of more than 10 cm.
● If the licence plate (especially the front
one) is bent in such a way that it noticeably
juts out from the bumper, false alarms may
sound for the area in front of the vehicle. Rear parking aid with navigator view

the on-screen information can be viewed).
The distance of separation from the obstacle
can be estimated
››› Fig. 145 with the help of the segments around the vehicle. The white
segments represent obstacles located be-
tween 30 cm and 160 cm from the vehicle’s
rear. As the vehicle approaches an obstacle,
the segments are displayed closer to the ve-
hicle. The red segments represent obstacles
located at less than 30 cm from the front
bumper. At this point the driver should not
reverse any further.
Front parking aid Description
The acoustic parking aid system measures
the distance between the vehicle and any
possible obstacle using 8 ultrasonic sensors
(4 of which are located on the rear bumper
and 4 of which are located on the front
bumper).
The measuring range of the sensors starts
approximately and depending on the nature
of the obstacle
at a distance of:
● side of the front bumper: 0.6 m
● middle of the front bumper: 1.2 m
● side of the rear bumper: 0.6 m
● middle of the rear bumper: 1.6 m
Activation
The system may be activated in the following
ways: ●
Engage the reverse gear (a brief, sharp
acoustic signal confirms activation and the
correct operation of the system) or
● Push the central console button  (a brief
confirmation signal will sound and the but-
ton’s LED will light up).
Disconnection
The system may be deactivated in the follow-
ing ways:
● Drive forwards at more than approx.
10 km/h (6 mph) or
● Press the  button, or
● Switch the ignition off.
Manoeuvres
The distance warning will begin as soon as
an obstacle is detected in the system's field
of detection (front and rear). The frequency of
the bleeps emitted by the system will in-
crease rapidly as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle. Two speakers, one in the front and
one in the rear, indicate the location of the
obstacle ( front and rear, respectively).
After a distance lower than approximately 30
cm, a continuous signal sounds (stop signal).
At this point the driver should halt the vehi-
cle.
Models with a factory-fitted towing bracket:
when the vehicle is less than 0.35 m away
the warning tone will sound continuously.
