the doors and the tailgate from one point.  
Activation  
The “safe” system is activated when the vehicle is locked using the key or the  
remote control.

With the key, rotate the key once in the lock cylinder in the unlock direction.  
The driver's door will be released from the “Safe” system and unlocked and

“Safe” system is deactivated for all the vehicle, only the driver's door is  
unlocked for opening, the alarm is turned off as is the light indicator.  
On the driver's door, there is a light indicator visible from the outside of the  
vehicle that indicates the “Safe” system status.  
Unlocking all doors and the boot  
We can see that the “Safe” system is activated, by the flashing of the light  
indicator . The indicator will flash on all vehicles, whether they are fitted with  
an alarm or not, and until the vehicle is unlocked.  
So that all the doors and the boot can be opened, the unlock button  
the remote must be pressed twice.  
on  
Remember:  
The button must be pressed twice in under 2 seconds and this will deactivate  
the “Safe” system for all the vehicle, all doors will be unlocked and the boot  
will be activated. The indicator will be turned off as will be the alarm for those  
vehicles fitted with one.  
Safe activated with or without alarm: Continuous flashing of the indicator.  
Safe deactivated without alarm: The indicator remains unlit.  
Safe deactivated with alarm: The indicator remains unlit.  
Unlocking the boot  
See ⇒ page 77 and ⇒ page 82 .  
WARNING  
No one should remain in the vehicle if the “Safe” deadlock mechanism has  
been activated. It is not possible to open the doors from the inside or the  
outside and this would make any outside intervention difficult in case of  
emergency. Danger of death. People could become trapped inside in an  
emergency.

Unlocking and locking  
Locking system for involuntary unlocking  
WARNING  
This is an anti-theft system and will avoid situations where  
the vehicle is opened unintentionally  
When the vehicle is in motion, the internal door release levers should not  
be operated, this could cause a door to open.  
The vehicle will be re-locked automatically, if it is unlocked and neither the  
boot or any of the doors are opened within 30 seconds. This function  
prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is  
pressed by mistake.  
Emergency unlocking system  
The entire vehicle is unlocked if the airbags are triggered during an accident,  
except for the boot. It is possible to lock the vehicle from inside using the  
central locking, after turning the ignition off and back on again.  
Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*  
This is a safety system to prevent access to the vehicle from  
the exterior when the vehicle is in transit (for example, when  
stopped at a traffic light).  
Central locking button  
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked from the inside using  
the central locking button.  
Locking  
The doors and the boot are automatically locked when vehicle speed exceeds  
15 km/h.  
If the vehicle is stopped and one of the doors is opened, when the vehicle  
moves off again and exceeds a speed of 15 km/h the unlocked door(s) will be  
locked once more.  
Unlocking  
The driver's door automatically unlocks when the key is removed from the  
ignition.  
Each door may be unlocked and opened from the interior (for example when  
a passenger gets out). For this, simply operate the lever on the inside of the  
door twice.

Childproof locks  
This function is independent of the electronic opening and locking  
systems of the vehicle. It only affects the rear doors. It is only  
possible to activate it and deactivate it manually, as described

The childproof lock prevents the rear doors being opened  
from the inside. This system prevents minors from opening a  
door accidentally while the vehicle is moving.  
Activating the childproof lock  
–
–
Unlock the car and open the door you wish to childproof.  
With the door open, rotate the groove in the door using the igni-  
tion key, anti-clockwise for the left hand side doors, and clock-  
wise for the right hand side doors ⇒ fig. 44, ⇒ fig. 45.  
Deactivating the childproof lock

vehicle protection zones and the indicators will flash accordingly.  
It is possible that the vehicle could no longer be opened and closed with the  
remote control if the button  
is repeatedly pressed outside of the effective  
range of the radio frequency remote control. The remote control key will have  
to be resynchronised.  
Spare remote control keys are available from Authorised Service Centres, they

Note  
•
After 28 days the indicator light will switch off to prevent the battery

The alarm system remains activated.  
The interior monitoring system will be switched on automatically with the  
anti-theft alarm. All of the doors and the tailgate must be closed to activate  
the sensor of the interior monitoring system.  
•
If, after the alarm has stopped, attempts are made to open another  
protection zone, the alarm will be triggered again.  
The alarm system can be activated or deactivated using the remote  
control ⇒ page 77.  
The interior monitor should be switched off, if for example animals are briefly  
left in the locked vehicle. Their movements could otherwise trigger an alarm.  
•
The interior monitor should also be deactivated if the windows are left  
slightly open, otherwise the alarm may be triggered due to the effect caused  
by wind entering the vehicle.

If, after deactivating the volumetric sensor, the vehicle is locked using the  
remote control or the key in the door lock in under 30 seconds, the volumetric  
sensor will remain deactivated. The other functions of the antitheft alarm*  
will remain activated. After this time, the deactivation function of the volu-  
metric sensor is cancelled.  
•
If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is activated without the volumetric  
sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions, except  
the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is next  
switched on, unless it is deliberately switched off.  
•
If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-  
cated by a flashing of the indicator on the driver's door. The flash is different  
to the flash indicating the alarm is activated.
