Central locking
Introduction
Central locking functions correctly when all the
doors and the rear lid are correctly shut. If
the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be
locked with the key.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking sys-
tem 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 acci-
dent, 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 but-
ton 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 vehicle
can be extremely high or extremely low re-
sulting 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
Central locking allows all doors, the rear lid and
the tank ap to be unlocked centrally:
Hybrid vehicles: the fuel tank ap does not un-
lock with the central locking ›››page322.
●
From outside, using the vehicle key
›››page101.

Self-locking system to prevent involuntary
unlocking
It is an anti-theft system and prevents the un-
intentional unlocking of the vehicle. If the vehi-
cle is unlocked and none of the doors (includ-
ing the boot) are opened within 45 seconds, it
re-locks automatically.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The vehicle locks automatically at over a speed
of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph). The fuel tank ap
is unlocked so that you can refuel without get-
ting out of the vehicle.
Hybrid vehicles: the fuel tank ap remains
locked ›››page322.
When the vehicle is locked, the control lamp
of the central locking button lights up yellow.
Automatic unlocking (Auto Unlock)
If one of the following conditions is met, all
doors and the rear lid are unlocked automati-
cally:
●
The electronic parking brake is engaged and
the ignition is switched o.
●
EITHER: the inside door handle has been
pulled. This applies when driving at under 15
km/h (9 mph).
●
OR: in the event of an accident and an airbag
has been triggered ›››page103.
Automatic unlocking allows third parties to ac-
cess the interior of the vehicle to provide assis-
tance if necessary.
Turn signals
The turn signals will ash twice when the vehi-
cle is unlocked and once when the vehicle is
locked.
