The vehicle can be locked and unlocked from any
of the doors. The remote control key should be
within a range of about 1.5 metres from the door
handle. It does not matter where you carry the

et or in a briefcase.
The locking function may be affected if you grasp
the door handle while the vehicle is being locked.
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be
opened again immediately. This will enable you
to check that the doors are properly closed.
The system will unlock either all the doors or only
one of the doors, depending on the settings you
have chosen on the infotainment system

WARNING
On vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system*,
do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the car if it is locked from the outside and the
safelock mechanism* is activated: the doors
and windows cannot then be opened from the
inside q page 34. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially put­
ting lives at risk.
Note
Please note the following points if the vehicle
is left parked for long periods:
- To save electrical power, the proximity sen­
sors are switched off after a few days. You
will then need to pull the door handle once
to unlock the vehicle, and a second time to
open it.
- To prevent the battery from becoming dis­
charged and thus maintain the vehicle's
starting ability for as long as possible, the
power management system will gradually
switch off convenience functions that are
not required. In this case you may not be
able to unlock the vehicle with this conven­
ience function .
