- the vehicle is located in a high electromagnetic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
- depending on the vehicle, use the radio frequency remote control or the emergency key integrated in the card to unlock the front left-hand door;
- to lock each of the doors manually;
- to use the interior door locking/unlocking control;

Locking the doors manually
With the door open, turn the screw 6 (using the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the door is then locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened from the inside or by using the key in the front left-hand door.
Interior locking/unlocking door control
The switch 7 controls the doors, the luggage compartment door and the fuel filler flap simultaneously.
If a door or the boot is open or not properly shut, locking is not carried out. A beep sounds and the hazard warning lights and side repeaters do not flash.
If transporting an object with the tailgate open, you can still lock the other doors: with the engine stopped, press and hold the switch 7 for more than five seconds to lock the other doors.
Locking the opening elements without the card or the key
For example, in the event of a discharged battery or the card or key temporarily not working etc.
With the ignition off and a door or the luggage compartment open, press and hold switch 7.
When the door is closed, all the doors and tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside is only possible with the card in the vehicle access zone or by using the key.

When the ignition is on, the indicator light integrated in switch 7 informs you of 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 from the outside, the indicator light remains lit for a moment, and then goes out.
