Self-locking system to prevent invol-
untary
unlocking It is an anti-theft system and prevents the un-

al u
nlocking 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 unlock
ing system* This is a safety system which prevents access
to the v
ehic
le 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.
Activating the system*
With the ignition on, press the locking key on
the central locking system within 3 to 10 sec-
onds. Deactivating the system*
With the ignition on, pre

If you need a replacement key, go to a Techni-

● An incorrect u
se of the keys can cause seri-
ous injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehicl
e. In case of emergency, they may
not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on
their own.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start
the engine or activate an
y electric equipment
(e.g. electric windows), causing risk of acci-
dent. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could become an ob-
stacle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. An
unauthorised u
se of your vehicle could result
in injury, damage or theft. Therefore always
take the key with you when you leave the ve-
hicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicl
e is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could suddenly block and it would be im-
possible to steer the vehicle. CAUTION
There are electronic components in the re-
mote contr o

key will have to be resynchronised.
Spare remote control keys are available at
your Technical Service, where they must be
matched to the locking system.
Up to five remote control keys can be used. Anti-theft alarm*
Desc
ription of anti-theft alarm sys-
tem* The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
break
int
o 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 deactiv atin
g the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activating the al
arm. When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system trig
gers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicle k
ey 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.
● Mov
ements in the driving compartment
(vehicle
s with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this ca
se, 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)

● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such as
loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v ehic
le 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, thi
s 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 vehicl
e 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-

anti-tow system will only be activated once

● Alwa y
s close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● The rear lid must not be opened when the
reverse or r
ear fog lights are lit. This may
damage the tail lights.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your h
and on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it ma
y open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicl
e. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
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
ensuring it
is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid. ●
Never drive w ith the r
ear lid open or half-
closed, exhaust gases may enter into the in-
terior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key ins
ide. The vehicle cannot be opened
if the key is left inside. Electric windows
