If the vehicle has previously been centrally
locked with the SmartKey, opening a door from
the inside will trigger the anti-theft alarm system.
To cancel the alarm, do one of the following:
ț Press button Œ or ‹ on the
SmartKey.
ț Insert the SmartKey in the starter switch.
! Opening a door causes the windows on that
side of the car to open slightly. They will return to
the up position when the door is closed.
The side windows will not open or close if the
battery is discharged or the windows are imped-
ed by ice. As a result, you may no longer be able
to properly close the door. Do not attempt to
force the door shut. Doing so may damage the
door or the side window. Correct the condition
that prevents the windows from operating before
attempting to close the door.
