If one of the doors or the boot is not fully  
closed, the locking does not take place.  
However, if the vehicle is equipped with the  
alarm, it is fully activated after about 45  
seconds.  
Pressing again before the end of the timed  
period switches off the lamps immediately.  
Advice  
If the vehicle is unlocked inadvertently and  
there is then no action on the doors or boot,  
the vehicle will automatically lock itself again  
after about 30 seconds. If the alarm was  
activated beforehand, the alarm is reactivated  
automatically.  
Remote control  
Keyless Entry and  
Starting  
The remote control is a sensitive, high-  
frequency device; avoid handling it in your  
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally  
unlocking the vehicle.  
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons  
while out of range of the vehicle, due to  
the risk of rendering the remote control  
inoperative. It would then be necessary to  
reset it.  
Deadlocking  
► Press the locking button again within 5  
seconds to deadlock the vehicle (confirmed by  
the temporary lighting of the direction indicators  
for versions without alarm).  
The remote control does not work when the  
key is in the ignition switch, even when the  
ignition is switched off.  
Deadlocking renders the interior door  
controls inoperative. It also deactivates  
the central locking button.  
The horn remains operational.  
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle  
when it is deadlocked.  
Anti-theft protection  
Do not modify the electronic vehicle  
immobiliser, as this might result in  
malfunctions.  
This system allows the unlocking, locking  
and starting of the vehicle, while carrying the  
electronic key on your person in the recognition  
zone A.  
Locking the vehicle  
Driving with the doors locked could make  
it more difficult for the emergency services to  
enter the vehicle in an emergency.  
Locating the vehicle  
This function helps you to spot your vehicle from  
a distance, with the vehicle locked:  
– The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps  
come on for 30 seconds.
