Locks & alarm

Anti-theft alarm indicator light
After locking the vehicle, the RED indicator
light (arrowed in illustration) flashes rapidly
for ten seconds to confirm that the security
system has been successfully armed. After ten
seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower
frequency, and then continues to flash as an
anti-theft deterrent until such time as the
security system is disarmed.
If, while operating the handset (or key), the
alarm sounds, this indicates that one of the
doors, the hood or the tailgate is not properly
closed (the message centre display will
confirm which aperture is not secure).
Although the handset can be successfully
operated from a significant distance from the
vehicle, when locking it is wise to be close
enough to visually confirm that the door
locking buttons have dropped into place and
that the indicator light confirms a successful
lock.
NOTE: Occasional atmospheric conditions
can significantly reduce the effective range of
handset operation. If this occurs, operate the
handset closer to the vehicle. In the most
extreme cases, it may be necessary to touch
the handset against the radio aerial ’fired’ onto
one of the rear side windows.
If the message centre displays ’KEY BATTERY
LOW’, this indicates that the handset batteries
need replacing (see ’Handset batteries’).
SUPERLOCKING
If the vehicle is ’superlocked’ (with either the
handset, or the key), the doors CANNOT be
unlocked or opened from inside the vehicle.
For this reason DO NOT superlock the vehicle
with passengers inside.
’Superlocking’ using the handset:
Press and release the ’lock’ button (1) on the
handset twice (within 1
1
/
2
seconds). After 15
seconds you will hear ’superlocking’ engage.
If any door, the hood or tailgate is left open, a
mislock will occur (see ’Mislock’).
If a window or sunroof is open, superlocking
will engage immediately, however volumetric
protection will not be activated.
To unlock:
Press and release the ’unlock’ button (2) on
the handset once.
If the handset is inoperative, the vehicle can
be unlocked by using the key in the driver’s
door lock.
