For vehicles equipped with electric windows and central locking, if

the key is maintained in the opening position all of the electric side

windows will open.

locking).

In some vehicle models equipped with electric windows and

sunroof will close.

For vehicles without central locking, the passenger door and the

rear doors may be locked from the outside without using a key. Just

press the button down and close the door.

The latch on the driver’s door may not be pushed down while the

door is open (only in vehicles without central locking). This avoids

accidentally leaving the keys in the ignition.

Opening

ooppeenn

your vehicle turn the key in the lock of the driver’s door to

the opening position or use the radio-frequency remote control. All

of the doors will be unlocked

When the vehicle is opened using the radio-frequency remote

control, the locking security system as well as the anti theft alarm*

are immediately deactivated. The indicator on the driver’s door will

stop flashing. This warning light is fitted to vehicles equipped with

the locking security system or the anti theft alarm*.

When the vehicle is opened using the key, the locking security

system (double locking) is immediately deactivated. The anti theft

alarm will only be deactivated when the key is put in the ignition;

15 seconds are given to do this.

When the vehicle is opened, the interior lighting will come on for

30 seconds as if a door is open and the indicators will flash twice.

If, for any reason, the central locking ceases to function then, in

general, the drivers door and boot may be opened conventionally

using the key but neither the locking security system nor the anti

theft alarm can be activated.

If the key is maintained

in the opening position in the driver’s

door the electric windows will open, in vehicles equipped with

them.

NNoottee

If for any reason the central locking ceases to function, neither the rear

doors nor the passenger door may be opened.

The lock mechanism of the driver’s door, the boot and the ignition locking

mechanism all possess a

rroottaattiioonn mmeecchhaanniissmm

(which will turn freely

without the key)*. When the locking mechanism is operated with any object

other than the key, the rotation mechanism is activated. The manipulated

cylinder will rotate without opening the vehicle or turning the ignition on.

If the rotation mechanism is activated when the key is inserted then remove

the key fully and then reinsert it to open the vehicle. There will be no

damage to the locks.

the vehicle cannot be locked. In order to lock the doors of the

vehicle, the driver’s door should be completely closed. If any other

door of the vehicle is incorrectly shut then all doors except this

door will be locked. If properly closed afterwards, this door will join

the locking system of the vehicle.

In the case where the vehicle is opened using the radio-frequency

remote control and neither the locks or the doors are used, after 30

seconds the vehicle will automatically be relocked so that it is not

accidentally left open.

Description of anti-theft alarm system*

With the anti-theft alarm, break-in attempts and theft of the vehicle

are rendered more difficult. The system triggers acoustic and

optical warning signals if someone tries to gain unauthorised

access to the vehicle.

The alarm system is automatically turned on when the driver’s door

is locked. To lock the door either turn the key once in the lock

towards the locking position or press button

on the radio-

frequency remote control*. The system is activated immediately

and the indicator light located on the driver’s door will flash along

with the indicators indicating that the alarm and the locking

security system (double lock) have been turned on.

If a door or the boot are left open when the alarm is connected, they will not

be incorporated into the car’s protection system. If after you lock the doors

or boot, they will be automatically incorporated into the security areas and

the indicator signals will show.

The alarm will be triggered if, with the vehicle locked, one of

When the alarm is triggered the horn sounds and a flashing signal

• The warning lamp goes out after approx. 28 days. This prevents the

battery becoming discharged when the vehicle is not used for a long period.

The alarm system remains activated.

• The alarm signal will be triggered a second time if one of the protected

parts of the car is interfered with again after the alarm signal has stopped

(for instance if the tailgate is opened after one of the doors has been

opened).

• The alarm can also be activated and deactivated via the radio wave

remote control*. Further information can be found under the heading

“Radio-frequency remote control key”.

• In vehicles fitted with an additional alarm system*, if the vehicle is

accessed with the key on the driver’s door, you have 15 seconds to insert

the key in the ignition lock and switch on ignition. If not the alarm is set off

for 30 seconds and it will be impossible to start engine.

The alarm can only be disconnected by pressing the "open" key on the

remote control.

In vehicles without a remote control key you will have to wait for 30 seconds

until the alarm stops. Lock the door and repeat the previously described

process.

If the vehicle is accessed through any door other than the driver’s door or

the tailgate the alarm will be set off for 30 seconds.

Volumetric sensor*

This is a surveillance function or a control incorporated in the anti-

theft alarm system which detects through ultrasound unauthorized

access to the vehicle interior (i.e. through a window).

The system has 3 sensors, 2 transmitters and one receiver.

AAccttiivvaattee

The volumetric sensor is switched on automatically when the anti-

theft alarm is activated whether by locking manually with the key

or by remote control.

The volumetric sensor is deactivated when:

– Unlocking the vehicle manually with the key in the door lock

by radio wave remote control.

– When the lock button on the remote control is pressed twice,

only the volumetric sensor is deactivated. The alarm system

remains activated.

NNoottee

• If, after deactivating the volumetric sensor, the door is locked with the

remote control or manually with the key in the door lock within less than 30

seconds the volumetric sensor is deactivated even though all other anti-

theft alarm functions remain activated.

• After this time-span the deactivation of the volumetric sensor is canceled.

• In case of relocking while the alarm was activated without the volumetric

sensor function, this relocking will cause a connection of all the alarm

functions, except for the volumetric sensor. If it was not disconnected

voluntarily it will be reactivated during the following alarm connection.

• If the volumetric sensor caused the alarm to set off this will be indicated

by flickering of the pilot light in the driver’s door when unlocking the

vehicle. This flickering is different than the flickering of the activated alarm.

• If the volumetric sensor has caused the alarm to set off three times the

alarm system will no longer go off.

• Other sensors (door opening, luggage compartment, etc.) will continue to

set off the alarm.

NNoottee

While pressing the "open" or "close" buttons, a LED will flash on the key. If

this LED does not appear, it may mean that the key’s battery is depleted. In

this case, have the battery tested or changed at a Technical Service Centre.

When the dead-lock mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* are activated,

proceed as follows:

If the vehicle is unlocked by using the open button on the radio-frequency

remote control*, all of the doors and the boot

will be relocked

automatically if they are not opened within 30 seconds. However, the

locking security system and the anti theft alarm will remain deactivated

during these 30 seconds. This function prevents the vehicle being

accidentally left open following the unintentional use of the remote control

within range of the vehicle.
