Unlocking the vehicle

Locking the vehicle
Normal locking
F Press this button.
When the locking button is pressed,
illumination of the direction indicators for a few
seconds signals:
- locking of the vehicle for versions without
an alarm,
- activation of the alarm for other versions.
If one of the doors or the boot is not
fully closed, the locking does not take
place. However, if your vehicle has an
alarm, this will be fully activated after
about 45 seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked inadvertently
and there is then no action on the doors
or boot, the vehicle will automatically
lock itself again after about 30 seconds.
If the alarm had been previously
activated, it will be reactivated
automatically.
Deadlocking
F Make a first press on this button.
F Within five seconds, press this
button again to deadlock the
vehicle.
For versions without alarm, deadlocking is
confirmed by illumination of the direction
indicators for few seconds on the second press
of the locking button.
Deadlocking renders the interior door
controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the interior central
locking button on the dashboard.
Therefore, never leave anyone inside
the vehicle when it is deadlocked.
