Opening and closing
Synchronize the vehicle key
If the button is pr
essed frequently outside
of the vehicle range, it is possible that the ve-
hicle can no longer be locked or unlocked
using the key. In this case, the key must be
resynchronised as described below:
●
Unfold the vehicle key blade
›››
page 85.
●
If necessary, remove the cover from the
driver door lever
›››
page 96.
●
Press the button on the vehicle key. For
this, it must remain with the vehicle.
●
Open the vehicle within one minute using
the ke
y blade. The key has been synchron-
ised.
●
If necessary, fit the cap.
Central locking
Introduction
Central locking functions correctly when all
the door
s and the r
ear lid are correctly shut.
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked with the key.
If the vehicle has the Keyless Access locking
and ignition system, it may only be locked
with the ignition off and the driver's door
closed.
The battery of an unlocked vehicle parked
for a long period (e.g. in a private garage)
may run down and fail to start the motor.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking
system may cause serious injuries.
●
The central locking system will lock all
doors. A vehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual
from opening the doors and accessing the
vehicle. Nevertheless, in case of emergency
or accident, locked doors will complicate
access to the vehicle interior to help the
passengers.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. The central locking
button can be used to lock all the doors
from within. Therefore, passengers will be
locked inside the vehicle. Individuals locked
in the vehicle can be exposed to very high
or very low temperatures.
●
Depending on the time of the year, tem-
peratures inside a locked and closed vehi-
cle can be extremely high or extremely low
resulting in serious injuries and illness or
even death, particularly for young children.
●
Never leave individuals locked in a closed
and locked vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help.
Description

Self-locking system to prevent involuntary
unlocking
It is an anti-theft system and prevents the
unintentional unlocking of the vehicle. If the
vehicle is unlocked and none of the doors
(including the boot) are opened within 30
seconds, it re-locks automatically.
