Locking, unlocking the opening elements and doors

If the remote control does not work

In some cases, the radio frequency remote control may not work:
  • radio frequency remote control battery worn out or vehicle battery discharged, etc.
  • use of appliances operating on the same frequency as the remote control (mobile phone, etc.);
  • the vehicle is located in a high electromagnetic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
  • to use the key integrated in the radio frequency remote control to unlock the driver's door;
  • to use the interior door locking/unlocking control (refer to the following pages).
WARNING
Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside.

Locking, unlocking the driver's door

Using the key
  • Insert the tip of the key 2 into the notch 1 at the bottom of the cover A on the driver's door;
  • Move it upwards to remove the cover A;
  • Insert key 2 into the lock and lock or unlock the driver's door.

Manually locking the front passenger door

With the door open, turn the screw 3 (using the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the door is then locked from the outside.
The door can only be opened from the inside of the vehicle.

Interior locking/unlocking door control

Switch 4 controls the doors, boot and, depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler flap simultaneously.
Depending on the vehicle, if an opening element (door, luggage compartment) is open or not closed properly, the opening elements lock/unlock quickly.
If transporting an object with the luggage compartment open, you can still lock the other doors: with the engine stopped, press and hold switch 4 for more than five seconds to lock the doors.

Door and tailgate status indicator

With the ignition on, the switch 4 warning light indicates the locking status of the opening elements:
  • when the warning light is on, the doors and luggage compartment door are locked;
  • indicator light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator light remains lit and then goes out.
Sliding side door (fuel filler cap side)
Depending on the vehicle, opening the fuel filler cap restricts the full opening of the sliding side door, to prevent the door from hitting the filler nozzle.
After filling, replace the cap in its housing and close the filler flap. The door can now be used.

Locking the opening elements without the radio frequency remote control

For example, in the event of a discharged battery or the radio frequency remote control temporarily not working.
With the ignition off and a door or the luggage compartment open, press and hold switch 4.
When the door is closed, all the doors and tailgate will be locked.
Note: the vehicle can only be unlocked from outside the vehicle with the radio frequency remote control.
WARNING
Driver's responsibility
If you decide to keep the doors locked when you are driving, remember that it may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to the passenger compartment in the event of an emergency.
