Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
Lock the vehicle with the remote control key,
when all the doors and the rear lid have been
closed. This prevents the accidental locking
of the vehicle.
When the driver door is unlocked with the key,
you should switch on the ignition within 15
seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered. On some export versions, the alarm is
triggered immediately when you open a door.
When you lock the vehicle with the key, the
doors and the rear lid are locked. When you
open the door, you can either unlock only the
driver door, or all the vehicle doors. To select
the required option, use Easy Connect*

on the remote control key, or switch on the ig-

and the anti-theft security system* is ena-
bled, as the doors and windows cannot

gency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Auto Lock*

the rear lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed
of about 15 km/h (9 mph).
