doors and tailgate closed, move away 
from the vehicle: it will lock automati-
cally once you have left zone  1.

locks depends on the surroundings. The hazard warning lights 
flash twice 
and a beep sounds to indicate that the 
doors have locked.

contact an authorised dealer.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not

tion,  no beep sounds and the hazard 
warning lights do not flash.

With the doors and boot closed, press 
the button 3 on a door handle of the ve-
hicle: the vehicle will lock. If a door or 
the boot is open or not closed properly,

the vehicle's access zone (zone  1) to 
be able to lock the vehicle using the 
button.
Special note
If you wish to check that the doors are 
locked after locking using the button  3, 
you have approximately  three seconds 
to try the door handles without unlock-
ing them.

is activated once again and any move-
ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

n the button  3 automatically causes all the windows to 
close and the doors to lock (please see the information on “Electric\
 windows, Electric sunroof” in Section 3).   

1.7
With the engine running, if having 
once opened and closed a door, the 
card is no longer in the passenger com-
partment, the message “Keycard not 
detected” (accompanied by a warning 
beep once the speed passes a thresh-
old value) will tell you that the card is no 
longer in the vehicle. This avoids you 
driving away after having dropped off a 
passenger who has the card, for exam-
ple.

is detected again.

reader) and no other card is in the

automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in button  1 does not light up 
when trying to lock the doors and tail-
gate, etc.), firstly check that the doors 
and tailgate are properly closed. If they
