Opening and

closing

Opening and closing:

From inside

This button serves to unlock or lock doors and
the trunk lid/tailgate, but does not activate the
anti-theft system. The fuel filler flap remains
unlocked.

Automatic locking

You can also set the situations in which the car
locks:

"Settings"

"Door locks"

Select the desired function:

"Lock if no door is opened"
The central locking system locks the
vehicle after a short time, unless a door
has been opened.

"Lock after start. to drive"
The central locking system locks the
vehicle when you drive away.

The function is switched on and is stored

for the remote control currently in use.

Unlocking and opening doors

Either unlock the doors together using the
button for the central locking system and

then pull the door handle above the armrest
or

pull on the door handle of each door twice:
the first time unlocks the door, the second
time opens it.

Locking

Use the central locking button to lock all of
the doors simultaneously, or

press down the safety lock button of a door.
To prevent you from being locked out, the
open driver's door cannot be locked using
the lock button.

Persons or animals in a parked vehicle
could lock the doors from the inside. You

should therefore take the remote control with
you when you leave the vehicle so that the latter
can be opened from outside.

Trunk lid/tailgate

In order to avoid damage, make sure there
is sufficient clearance before opening the

trunk lid/tailgate.

Opening from inside

Press the button: the trunk lid/tailgate opens
unless it has been locked.
