Central locking

Basic functions

The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all

doors with just pushing on the keybutton.

Description

Central locking can be activated by using any of the following options:

• the key, by inserting it into the driver's door cylinder and rotating it manu-

ally,

• the central locking button in the passenger compartment as an electronic

control ⇒ page 94.

• the radio frequency remote control, using the buttons on the key

⇒ page 98.

Various functions are available to improve the vehicle safety:

– Locking system “Safe”

– Selective unlocking system*

– Automatic speed-dependent locking and unlocking system*

– Self-locking system to prevent involuntary unlocking

– Emergency unlocking system

Unlocking the vehicle*

– Press button ⇒ page 98, fig. 62 on remote control to unlock all the

doors and tailgate.

Locking the vehicle*

– Press button ⇒ page 98, fig. 62 on the remote control to lock all

doors and the tailgate or turn the key in the door to lock all doors and the

tailgate.

WARNING

• Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle. In case of emer-

gency, they may not be able to leave the vehicle and not manage on their

own.

• Never allow children to play in or around the vehicle. A locked vehicle

can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on

the time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness. It could even have

fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other doors

when you are not using the vehicle.

• Always take you car keys with you when you leave the vehicle. Misuse

of the keys, for example, by children, may result in serious damage and

accident.

− The engine may accidentally be started and be out of control.

− If the ignition is switched on, the electric equipment could be acti-

vated with risk of injury, for example, in the electric windows.

− The doors can be locked using the remote control key. This could

make assistance difficult in an emergency situation.

− Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.

• Never remove the key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The

steering lock could suddenly engage, and you would not be able to steer

the vehicle.

Note

• While the driver's door is open, the vehicle can not be locked with the

remote control. This avoids the user from forgetting his key inside the vehicle.

• If the driver's door is unlocked with the key shaft, only the driver's door is

unlocked, the rest of the doors remain locked. When the ignition is switched

on, the door "safe" deadlock is deactivated (although the doors remain

locked) and the central locking button is activated. See ⇒ page 100.

• If the central locking or anti-theft alarm are faulty, the driver's door

warning lamp remains lit for approx. 30 seconds after locking the vehicle.

• For anti-theft security, only the driver's door is fitted with a lock cylinder.

Safety system “Safe*”

The "safe" deadlock makes it more difficult to break into the

vehicle because the door release lever and the central locking

button are not active (depending upon country).

Activating deadlock

– Press once the locking button on the remote control or

–Turn the key once in the driver's door lock to lock. A warning lamp

in the driver door flashes to indicate the "safe" deadlock is

working. The warning lamp flashes for approx. two seconds at

short intervals and then more slowly.

Deactivating deadlock when the vehicle is locked

–Press twice the locking button on the remote control within

two seconds. The vehicle is locked without activating the dead-

lock. The driver's door warning lamp flashes for approx. two

seconds and then goes out. After approx. 30 seconds it starts

flashing again.

The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside if the "safe" deadlock

has not been activated. You will have to pull the door release lever once.

When the "safe" deadlock is off, the antitheft alarm* ⇒ page 100 remains

active. The vehicle interior monitoring system* and the anti-tow system are

deactivated*.

WARNING

Nobody should remain in the vehicle if the anti-tow system deadlock mech-

anism has been activated. It is not possible to open the doors from the

inside. Locked doors could make it more difficult to assist vehicle occu-

pants in the event of an accident. People could become trapped inside in an

emergency.

Selective unlocking system*

This system allows to unlock either just the driver's door or all

the vehicle.

Using the remote control, press the unlock button on the remote once. The

“Safe” system for all the vehicle is deactivated, only the driver's door is

unlocked and both the alarm and the light indicator are also turned off.

The unlock button on the remote must be pressed twice so that all doors

and the boot can be opened.

Press twice within 2 seconds to deactivate the “Safe” system for all vehicle,

to unlock all doors and to use the boot. The indicator and the alarm (only vehi-

cles fitted with one) are turned off.

Automatic speed dependent locking and unlocking system*

This is a safety system which prevent the access to the vehicle

from the outside when it is running (for example, when

stopped at a traffic light).

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 can be unlocked and opened independently from the inside (for

example, when a passenger gets out of it). To do it, simply operate the lever

inside the door.

WARNING

The door handles must not be operated when the vehicle is running: the

door would open.

Automatic locking system for involuntary unlocking*

It is an anti-theft system and prevents the unintentional

unlocking of the vehicle.

If the vehicle is unlocked and any of the doors (including the tailgate) are

opened within 30 seconds, it gets re-locked automatically. This function

prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlock button is pressed

by mistake.

Emergency unlocking system

If the airbags are triggered during an accident, the vehicle gets unlocked,

except for the boot. It is possible to lock the vehicle from inside with the

central locking, after turning the ignition off and back on again.

If the doors must be locked from the outside, see “Emergency locking of the

doors”.

Anti-theft alarm system*

Description of anti-theft alarm system*

The anti-theft alarm triggers if unauthorised movements are

detected around the vehicle.

The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal

it. Audible and visible alarms are triggered if the car is opened using the key,

or if unauthorised access to the vehicle is forced.

The anti-theft alarm system is automatically connected on locking the

vehicle. The system is then primed.

When does the system trigger an alarm?

The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are carried

out when the car is locked:

• Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the vehicle key

• Opening a door

• Opening the bonnet

• Opening the tailgate

• Switching on the ignition

• Movements in the vehicle

• Undue manipulation of the alarm

• Battery handling

The acoustic signals sound and the indicators flash for approx. 30 seconds.

This may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.

Opening the doors mechanically (emergency opening)

If the remote control function fails, you will have to use the key to unlock the

car. This is done as follows:

• Unfold the key by pressing the button shown by the (arrow).

• Use the lock on the driver door to unlock the vehicle. The anti-theft alarm

system remains active, but an alarm is not triggered immediately.

• Switch on the ignition within 15 seconds. When the ignition is switched

on, the electronic immobiliser recognises a valid vehicle key and deactivates

the anti-theft alarm system. If you do not switch on the ignition within 15

seconds, the alarm is triggered.

How to switch the alarm off

When the vehicle is unlocked via the unlocking button of the remote control

or when the key is inserted in the ignition lock.

Note

• If, after the alarm goes off, access is gained to a second secured zone

(e.g. the tailgate is opened after a door has been opened), the warning signal

is triggered again.

• Vehicle monitoring remains active even if the battery is disconnected or

not working for any reason.

• The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-

nected while the alarm system is active.

Volumetric sensor*

Monitoring or control function incorporated in the anti-theft

alarm* which detects unauthorized vehicle entry by means of

ultrasound.

The system consists of 3 sensors, 2 emitters and a receptor.

Sunroof blind

The sunroof blind is opened together with the sliding/tilting roof. If required,

it can be closed by hand when the sunroof is closed.

WARNING

• Incorrect use of the sliding/tilting sunroof can result in injury.

• Never close the sliding/tilting sunroof without observing and ensuring

it is clear, to do otherwise could cause serious injury to you and others.

Make sure that no one is in the path of the sliding/tilting sunroof.

• Always take the vehicle key with you when you leave the vehicle.

• Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle, particularly if

they have access to the keys. Unsupervised use of a key could mean that

the engine is started or that electrical equipment is used (e.g. electric

sliding/tilting sunroof). Risk of accident! The doors can be locked using the

remote control key. This could make the aid difficult in an emergency situ-

ation.

• The sliding/tilting sunroof continues to function until one of the front

doors is opened and the key removed from the ignition.

Convenience closing*

Note

The sliding/tilting sunroof rotary button remains in the last position selected

if the roof is closed using convenience closing from outside the vehicle and

will have to be re-positioned the next time you drive.

Roll-back function of the sliding/tilting roof*

The sliding/tilting roof has a roll-back function which prevents larger objects

getting trapped when the roof is closed. The roll-back function does not

prevent fingers getting pinched against the roof opening. The sliding/tilting

sunroof stops and opens again immediately if it is obstructed when closing.

If the sliding/tilting roof has been opened again by the roll-back function, it

can be closed only by pressing the rotary button at the front in position

⇒ fig. 69 until the sliding/tilting roof has closed fully. Please note that the

sunroof will now close without the roll-back function.

Operation in the event of a breakdown

In case of a breakdown, the sunroof can be closed manually.

• Remove the plastic cover by inserting a screwdriver in the rear section.

• Remove the lever from the cover fastening, insert it in the opening as far

as possible (pushing against the spring) and close the sliding roof.

• Fit the lever back into position.
