››› Fig. 131  of the rear lid, it is possible to
unlock and open or close it moving one foot
in the area of the sensors ››› Fig. 131  loca-
ted under the rear bumper.
● Switch the ignition off.
● Stand in front of the rear bumper, in the
middle.
● W

ith a brisk movement, bring your foot and
lower l
eg as close as you can to the bumper.
The lower part of the leg needs to be close to
the upper sensor area and your foot to the
lower sensor area ››› Fig. 131  1 .
● Quickly remove your foot and lower leg

● If the rear lid fails to open, repeat the pro-
cedure af
ter a few seconds.
The third brake light flashes once to show the
boot has opened with the Easy Open func-
tion.
The rear lid can be closed with another foot
movement similar to the opening one (provi-
ded a valid vehicle key is in the proximity of
the rear lid).
When closed, the rear lid automatically locks
if the vehicle has been locked beforehand
and there is no valid key inside. While the rear lid is in motion (either opening
or clos

ing), 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. aft
er having driven on gritted roads.
● If the electrical unlocking tow hitch is not
cov
ered.
● If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a to
w bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot
or may deactivate automatically, to avoid the
boot opening by accident, e.g. because of
the running water.
The Easy Open function can be connected
and disconnected permanently in the info-

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 181. In
order to enable engine ignition, the  button
on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pressed.
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 an 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 
butt
on on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.
● OR: if

the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the key
.

p

anel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on.  Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-

The anti-theft security system can be switch-
ed off each time the vehicle is locked:
● Turn the key a second time to the lock posi-

key for a second time within 2 seconds.
The flashing frequency of the diode in the
door sill immediately confirms the process. Initially, the diode flashes in a fast sequence
for a brief period, then it

stops for approxi-
mately 30 seconds and, lastly continues
flashing slowly.

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-
locked u
sing 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-authorised k
ey.
● When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
● Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles

oring ››› page 136).
● When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-tow sy
stem ››› page 136).
● When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-to w sy

stem ››› page 136). ●
When the v ehic

le is transported on a ferry
or by rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring ››› page 136).
● When a trailer connected to the anti-theft
alarm sys
tem 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
● Aft er 28 d

switched off to prevent the battery from ex-
hausting if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
● If, after the audible warning goes off, an-
other monitored ar
ea is accessed (e.g. the
rear lid is opened after a door has been
opened), the alarm is triggered again.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the vehic
le is locked from within using the
central locking button .
● If the driver door is unlocked mechanically
with the key

grated in the front headlights.
By connecting the daytime running lights,
these lights are switched on 1)

The da ytime ru

nning lights switch on every
time the ignition is switched on, if the switch
is in positions  or , according to the level
of exterior lighting.
When the light switch is in position , a

beam on and off (including the control and
instrument lighting) or the daytime running
lights depending on the level of exterior
lighting. WARNING
● Never driv e w

ith daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● On vehicles with rear lights with bulbs,
when activating the d
aytime running light
the rear lights are not switched on. A vehicle
which does not have the rear lights on may
not be visible to other drivers in the dark-
ness, in the case of heavy rain or in condi-

other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident. ●
Alw a

● As soon as you have finished changing
lane, ov

Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
c ident s

and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers. Note
● If the c on
