Opening and closing
Central locking
Intr
oduction
Central locking functions correctly when all the
doors and the rear lid are correctly shut. If
the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be
locked with the key.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking sys-
tem may cause serious injuries.
●
The central locking system will lock all
doors. A vehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual from
opening the doors and accessing the vehicle.
Nevertheless, in case of emergency or acci-
dent, locked doors will complicate access to
the vehicle interior to help the passengers.
●
Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. The central locking but-
ton can be used to lock all the doors from
within. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures.
●
Depending on the time of the year, temper-
atures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children.
●
Never leave individuals locked in a closed
and l
ocked vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help.
Description
Central locking allows all doors, the rear lid and
the tank flap to be unlocked centrally:
Hybrid vehicles: the fuel tank flap does not un-
lock with the central locking ›››page303.
●
From outside, using the vehicle key
›››page93.
●
From outside with the Keyless Access system
›››page90.
●
From inside, by pushing the central locking
button ›››page94.
Self-locking system to prevent involuntary
unlocking
It is an anti-theft system and prevents the unin-
tentional unlocking of the vehicle. If the vehicle
is unlocked and none of the doors (including
the boot) are opened within 45 seconds, it re-
locks automatically.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The vehicle locks automatically at over a speed
of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph). The fuel tank flap is
unlocked so that you can refuel without getting
out of the vehicle.
Hybrid vehicles: the fuel tank flap remains
locked ›››page303.
When the vehicle is locked, the control lamp
of the central locking button lights up yellow.
Aut
omatic unlocking (Auto Unlock)
If one of the following conditions is met, all
doors and the rear lid are unlocked automati-
cally:
●
The electronic parking brake is engaged and
the ignition is switched o.
●
EITHER: the inside door handle is pulled. This
applies when driving at under 15 km/h (9 mph).
●
OR: in the event of an accident and an airbag
has been triggered ›››page95.
Automatic unlocking allows third parties to ac-
cess the interior of the vehicle to provide assis-
tance if necessary.
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the vehi-
cle is unlocked and once when the vehicle is
locked.
If it does not flash, this indicates that one of the
doors, the rear lid or the bonnet is not closed
correctly.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from
being locked out of the vehicle in the following
situations:
