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 us

ing the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 127
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-
tivat

ed by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.

● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activ
ating 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-
lock
ed using the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
certain markets, such as the Netherlands,
there is no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is activated immediately on opening
the door).
●
A door is opened.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The rear lid is opened.
● When the ignition is switched on with a
non-authori
sed key.
● When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
● Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with int
erior monitoring ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-to
w system ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-to
w system ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is transported on a ferry
or by
rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring ››› page 123).

›››  page 11 WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
i s

heavily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due to
the extra weight and cause serious injury.
● Never open the rear lid when there is a lot
of s
now on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
● Before opening the rear lid, remove the
sno
w or the load. WARNING

due c ar

e, it could result in serious injury.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended or allow
chi
ldren to play inside or next to it, especially
if the rear lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the rear lid
and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
reach extremely high and low temperatures,
depending on the time of year, thus causing
serious injuries, illness or even death. CAUTION
