VEHICLE LOCKING & SECURITY
9
Vehicle keys
The vehicle is supplied with two keys. Each key
operates the ignition/starter switch and steering
lock, driver’s door lock and luggage door lock,
the boot lid lock and the fuel filler cap lock. Each
key contains a transponder which the security
system recognises. Your Main Dealer can
provide and programme more keys to your
vehicle as required.
Note: When taking delivery, make a record of
the security number on the tab attached to the
Keys. This information is required should you
need to replace this key if it becomes lost or
damaged in service.
Important: When starting the engine do not use
the key with other transponder keys in close
proximity, even the spare key or transponder
keys from other vehicles.
Do not use the key with the key ring resting on
the key grip.
Central locking system
The remote key is used to operate the central
locking system. It will lock and unlock all four
doors. However, if the remote key is inoperative
or lost, the ignition key may be used in either
front door to unlock that door.
Note: Unlocking the vehicle doors with the
ignition key will not unlock the rest of the
vehicle. Neither front door lock is electrically
linked to the central locking system. When the
vehicle has been entered the rear doors may be
unlocked using the door mounted switch shown
overleaf. Only the remote key carries out the
central door locking function.
When the doors are unlocked by using the
remote key, both front and rear doors are
opened by lifting the outer door handles (C).
Small indicator lights (D) behind the rear door
handles illuminate when the taximeter is in the
'for hire' mode and the vehicle is travelling
below walking pace or stationary.
Important Note: Locking the vehicle doors with
the ignition key will not arm the security system.
However, the engine immobiliser will
automatically arm when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition/starter switch and
steering lock.
Where an LTI alarm upgrade system is fitted,
and the security system was armed before
leaving the vehicle, the alarm will sound when
the vehicle doors are opened with an ignition
key.
Security feature 1
If the vehicle has been locked by use of the
remote key, using the ignition key in any front
door will unlock that door only.
Security feature 2
When leaving the driver’s compartment to assist
a passenger with the swivel seat and additional
step or wheelchair installation use the ignition
key to lock the driver’s door.
