“Safe” security system** This is an anti-theft device which consists of
a doubl
e loc
k for the door locks and a deacti-
vation function for the boot in order to pre-
vent forced entry.
Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehi-
cle is locked using the key or the remote con-
trol.
To activate it with the key, rotate once it is in-
serted in the door lock cylinder in the locking
direction.
To activate the system using the remote con-
trol, press the lock button once on the re-
mot e.
Onc e thi
s system is activated, opening doors
from the outside and the inside is not possi-
ble. The rear lid can not be opened. The cen-
tral lock button does not work.
When the ignition is switched off, the instru-
ment panel display indicates that the “Safe”
system is on.
Deactivation
Rotate the key inserted in the lock cylinder
twice towards the locking direction.
To activate the system using the remote con-
trol, press the lock button on the remote

terior.
See “Selective unlocking system*”
“Safe” status
On the driver door, there is warning lamp visi-
ble from outside the vehicle through the win-
dow which shows the “Safe” system status.
We will know that “Safe” system is activated
by the flashing warning lamp. The indicator
will flash on all vehicles, fitted and nor fitted
with an alarm, until they unlock.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without an alarm:
warning lamp flashes continuously.
Safe deactivated without an alarm: the warn-
ing lamp stays off.
Safe deactivated with an alarm: the warning
lamp stays off. WARNING
No one should remain inside the vehicle if the
“Safe” sy s
tem is activated because opening
the doors will not be possible in the event of
an emergency neither from the inside nor the
outside and help from the outside is made difficult. Danger of death. Passengers could
become tr
ap
ped inside in case of emergency. Selective unlocking system*

int
ention
al
unlocking of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked and none of the
doors (including the boot) are opened within
30 seconds, it re-locks automatically. Automatic speed-dependent locking
and unloc
king system* This is a safety system which prevents access
to the
v
ehicle from the outside when it is run-
ning (e.g. when stopped at a traffic light).
Locking
The doors will lock automatically if the speed
of 15 km/h (9 mph) is exceeded. The rear lid
will lock automatically if the speed of 6 km/h
(4 mph) is exceeded.
If the vehicle is stopped and any of its doors
open, when starting again and exceeding the
mentioned speed, all doors will lock again.
Unlocking
On withdrawing the ignition key, the vehicle
will returns to its status prior to self-locking.
Each door can be unlocked and opened inde-
pendently from the inside (for example, when
a passenger gets out). To do it, simply oper-
ate the lever inside the door.

The central lock button allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central lock button also works with the
ignition switched off, except when the “safe”
system is activated.
Please note the following if you lock your ve-
hicle with the central lock button:
● Locking the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
ces
s from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This
avoids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle. ●
All
doors can be unlocked separately from
inside the vehicle. Do this by pulling the door
release lever once. WARNING
● If the v
ehicle is locked, children and disa-
bled people may be trapped inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will
prevent
the central lock button from working
for a few seconds. Then, it can only be un-
locked in case it has been previously locked.
After few seconds, the central locking be-
comes operative again.
● The central lock button is not operative
when the vehic
le is locked from the outside
(with the remote control or the key). Note
● Vehic l

Up to five remote control keys can be used. Anti-theft alarm*
Des
cription of anti-theft alarm sys-
tem* The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
bre
ak
into the vehicle or steal it. The system
will 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 de activ
ating the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activatin
g the alarm. When does the system trigger an alarm?
The syst
em triggers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicl
e key without switching on the ignition
in the next 15 seconds (in certain markets,
such as the Netherlands, the alarm is activa-
ted immediately).
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated
key.
● Mo
vements in the driving compartment
(vehicl
es with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this c
ase, 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. 1)
With vehicles fitted with a tow-away protection

Operation
● Tiltin
g p
anoramic sunroof open (partially or
completely),
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v
ehicle 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 vehic
le 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 i
s 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

rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensurin
g it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
