AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system 
automatically locks the doors when 
you are driving at approximately 6 mph  
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
–  by pressing door unlocking button  1.
–  by opening a front door (vehicle sta- tionary).
Note: if a door is opened or closed, 
it will automatically lock again when 
the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph 
(10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the 
function
To activate: with the vehicle stopped 
and the engine running, press switch  1 
until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a 
standstill and with the engine running, 
press switch 1 until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate this 
function, refer to the information on the 
“Vehicle settings customisation menu” 
in Section 1, function “Auto door locking 
while driving”:
= function activated
< function deactivated.
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no 
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in button  1 does not light up 
when trying to lock the doors and tail-
gate, etc.), first check that the doors 
and tailgate are properly closed. If they 
are properly closed and the fault is still 
present, contact an approved Dealer.
Also make sure that locking has not 
been inadvertently deactivated.
If it has, switch the ignition off and on 
again and reactivate it.
