Childproof lock 3 Applies to vehicles with 5 doors:
Fig. 95
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door. The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
from being opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which you wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door using the ignition key, clockwise
for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 95 and
anti-c loc
kwise for the right hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock – Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose childproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door using the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 95
and clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside. The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivated by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Anti-theft alarm system* Description The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to

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 anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for
about 30 seconds accompanied by sound
and optical (flashing) warning signals and
will be repeated about ten times when the
vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-
ised actions are attempted:
● Opening a door that is mechanically un-
locked using the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
