When the vehicle is at a standstill or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-

Operation
While the rear lid is in motion (either opening
or c lo
sing), it can be stopped with another
foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proxim-
ity of the rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions (examples):
● If the rear bumper is very dirty.
● If the rear bumper is wet with salt water,
e.g. af
ter having driven on gritted roads.
● If the electrical unlocking tow hitch is not
co
vered.
● If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a t
ow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot
or automatically disable to avoid the boot
opening by accident, e.g. when the rain falls.
The Easy Open function may be connected
and disconnected permanently in the info-
tainment system by pressing the 

 page 26 func-
tion buttons.
What happens when locking the vehicle with
a second key
If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and
it is locked from the outside with a second
vehicle key, the key inside the vehicle is
blocked for engine ignition ››› page 165. In order to enable engine ignition, the button
on the key

 inside the vehicle needs to be
pr e
ssed.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensors on
the passenger doors are automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in a unusual manner
with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bush rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a certain period of
time.
Sensors will again be enabled: ● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
t

on  on the key.
● OR: if the rear lid is open.
● OR:

if the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the k
ey.
Convenience functions
To close all the electric windows and the
glass roof using the convenience function,
keep a finger for a few seconds on the lock-
ing sensor surface ››› Fig. 124 B (arrow) of
the door h andl

e until the windows and roof
have closed. The doors may be opened
by
touching the
sensor surface of the door handle depending
on the settings that have been activated in
the infotainment system with the 
S
ETUP and
Openin
g and c
losing function buttons.
WARNING
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
r e

ar lid, in some cases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally turned on and the
rear lid will open, for example, when sweep-
ing under the rear bumper, when directing a
water jet or high pressure steam to the area
or when carrying out maintenance work or re-
pairs in that area. If accidentally opened, the
rear lid could injure somebody situated in its
area of operation or cause material damage.
● Therefore, always make sure that there is
no un
supervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.
● Before carrying out any maintenance or re-
pair w
ork on the vehicle, always disable the
Easy Open feature on the infotainment sys-
tem.
● Before washing the vehicle, always disable
the Ea
sy Open feature on the infotainment
system.
● Before attaching a bicycle rack or a trailer
››

› page 255, always disable the Easy Open
feature on the information system. 118

Opening and closing
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr om bein
g opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
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, clockwise
for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 127 and
anti-clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose c

hildproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– 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.
Anti-theft alarm system* De
scription The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
br
e

ak into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
openin g and de

activating the alarm.
● 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).
● When a trailer connected to the anti-theft
alarm sy
stem is disconnected.
How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button
on the key or turn on the ignition with a valid
key. Note
● Af t

er 28 days, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from ex-
hausting if the vehicle has been left parked » 121
