Operation
●
If ther e i
s no valid key inside the vehicle or
the system fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. In
this case, clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
gearbo
x, it may only be locked in the gear
stick is in position P. Childproof lock
Fig. 144
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door . The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr
om bein
g opened fr

om the inside. This sys- tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidental

ly 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 y

ou wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin

g the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left-hand side doors ››› Fig. 144
and clockwise for the right-hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock – Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose chi

ldproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin

g the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the right-hand side doors, and
clockwise for the left-hand side doors
››› Fig. 144.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside.
The childproof lock can be activated or deac- tivated by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, a

s described above.
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.

Opening and closing
● The t urn s
ign
al light will flash once on clos-
ing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system 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. Opening all the doors in manual mode
In vehic

les without an alarm, when opening
the driver door manually, all doors are
opened.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the
key in the opening direction, open the door
and switch the ignition on, or press the un-
lock button  on the remote control.
In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm
system, you have 15 seconds to insert the
key in the ignition lock and activate the igni-
tion if the vehicle is opened using the driver
door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec.
and the ignition will be blocked. Note
● Aft er 28 d

ays, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from
draining if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
● The alarm will trigger again if attempts are
made t
o open another protection zone.
● The alarm system can be activated or deac-
tivated u
sing the radio frequency remote con-
trol ››› page 130. ●
The anti-theft a

larm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button .
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft a
larm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batter
y is disconnected or not working for
any reason.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the batter
y cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-

Coming home function
The Coming Home function is activated by
switching off the ignition. When the driver
door is opened, the Coming Home lighting
comes on.
The Coming Home lighting switches off in the
following cases:
● If, 30 seconds after being connected, any
doors or the r
ear lid remain open.
● If the light switch is turned to position .
● If the ignition is switched on.

The Leaving Home function is activated when
the vehicle is unlocked if:
● the light control is in position  and
● the photo

sensor detects “darkness”.
The Leav

following cases:
● If the time period for the delay in switching
off the hea
dlights has ended
● If the vehicle is locked again.
● If the light switch is turned to position .●
If the ignition is
switched on. Note
● To activ at

tion  and the light sensor must detect
darkness. Fog lights with cornering function*
This is an additional light source to dipped
beam he
a

dlights to light up the road as a
bend is taken.
The cornering light operates with the lights
switched on and when driving at less than
40 Km/h (25 mph). Ignition occurs by turning
the steering or connecting the turn signal.
Forward gear
● If the steering wheel is turned to the right,
or the right-h and t

urn signal operated, the
right-hand fog light turns on.
● If the steering wheel is turned to the left, or
the left

hand fog light turns on.
In reverse, both fog lights turn on. Note
When the fog lamps are on, the cornering
fu nction i

Operation
All turn signals flash simultaneously when
the h az
ar
d warning lights are switched on.
The two turn signal turn signal lamps  
and the turn signal lamp in the switch  will
flash at the same time. The simultaneous
hazard warning lights also work when the ig-
nition is switched off. WARNING
● The risk of

an accident increases if your ve-
hicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle to draw
the attention of other road users to your sta-
tionary vehicle.
● Due to the high temperatures that the cata-
lytic con
verter can reach, never park in an
area where the catalytic converter could come
into contact with highly inflammable materi-
als, for example dry grass or spilt petrol. This
could start a fire. Note
● The batt er

y will run down if the hazard
warning lights are left on for a long time,
even if the ignition is switched off.
● The use of the hazard warning lights de-
scribed her
e is subject to the relevant statu-
tory requirements. Interior lights
