LOCKING, UNLOCKING THE DOORS

Interior locking/unlocking door control
Switch 7 controls the doors, the boot 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 doors: with the engine stopped, press and hold 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 engine switched off and a door or tailgate open, press and hold switch 7 for more than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors and the 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.

Door and tailgate status indicator
When the ignition is on, the indicator light integrated in switch 7 informs you of the status of the doors and tailgate:

• indicator light on, the doors and tailgate are locked;
• indicator light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.

When you lock the doors from the out-side, the indicator light remains lit for a moment, and then goes out. Never leave your vehicle with the key or card inside.

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.

Opening the doors from the outside
With the doors unlocked or, depending on the vehicle, the card on you, hold the handle 1 and pull it towards you.

Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time. They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors. Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Door/tailgate open buzzer
At a standstill, warning light 3 lights up on the instrument panel alongside warning light 4, indicating the opening element(s) (door, boot) open or incorrectly closed. Once the vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), a warning light indicates if the door(s) or luggage compartment is open or not properly closed, along with the message “WARNING: Boot Open” or “WARNING: Door Open” and a beep will sound for around 40 seconds or until the door/luggage compartment is closed.

Lights-on reminder buzzer
A warning beep sounds when the driver’s door is opened to warn you that the lights are still on.

Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system automatically locks the doors when you are driving at approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and over.

The door can be unlocked:

• by pressing central door unlocking switch 2.
• at a standstill, by opening a front door from inside the vehicle.

Note: if a door is opened or closed, it will automatically lock again when the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).

Activating/deactivating the function
To switch it on: with the vehicle at a standstill and the engine running, press switch 2 until a beep sounds. To deactivate: with the vehicle at a standstill and the engine running, press switch 2 until two beeps sound. You can also activate/deactivate the function from the multimedia screen menu.

Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no automatic locking, the indicator light in- corporated in switch 2 does not light up when trying to lock the doors and boot, etc.), make sure that locking has not been deactivated by mistake and check that the doors and boot are properly closed. If they are correctly locked and the fault is still present, contact an authorised dealer.

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.

Insert the headrest rods into the holes (tilt the seatback backwards if necessary). Press the 2 button and push in the headrest as far as it will go, then adjust it to the desired height. Check that each rod 1 on the seatback is securely locked. The headrest is an important safety component: ensure that it is in place and in the correct position. The distance between your head and the headrest and the distance between the head and section A should be as small as possible.

• adjust the position of your head- rest. For maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest;
• adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view ;
• adjust the position of the steering wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the seatback. Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it. Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis. The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 3 locks into catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull-ing on buckle 3). If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again. If your seat belt is completely jammed, pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting to unwind it again. If there is still a problem, contact an ap- proved dealer.
