Central unlocking
A press on button

2 successive presses
on but-
ton

will deadlock the vehicle.
It is then impossible to open the
doors, either from the inside or
from the outside.
•
•
•
If closing the windows and sun roof using the remote control,
the user must make sure that no person is preventing the
windows and/or sun roof from closing properly.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a person is
inside the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside
without the remote control.

home lighting.
This operation is confi rmed by the
direction indicators illuminating for
approx. 2 seconds and by the inte-
rior lamp switching off. This also
folds the exterior rear view mir-
rors.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is
open or not properly closed, the
central locking does not operate.
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine switched off, locking is sig-
nalled by the fl ashing of the interior
locking control warning lamp.
