Locking the Vehicle

Ensure that both doors, the trunk and the hood are closed.
Stand within 16ft (5m) of the vehicle. Point the vehicle key
towards the vehicle and press the button once to lock
the doors, disable the trunk and fuel flap release switches
and set the vehicle alarm.

The direction indicators will flash once as the alarm is
activated (Refer to 'Personalization', page 2.20).
The seats and door rear view mirror positions are memorized
and will be recalled the next time the vehicle is opened using
the same vehicle key (Refer to 'Seat Memory Function', page
3.5).
If the vehicle is locked with the trunk open, the vehicle will
lock and arm but deadlocking, tilt (option) and interior

Do not leave the vehicle key in the trunk. If the trunk is
closed there will be no access to the contents of the trunk.
If passengers are to remain in the vehicle after it has been
locked, reduced guard must be activated before locking.
This enables passengers to open the doors from inside
the vehicle (Refer to 'Reduced Guard', page 2.13).
Automatic Re-locking
If the vehicle is locked and then unlocked but a door or the
trunk is not opened within two minutes, then the vehicle will
automatically lock and arm again.
