WARNING
Do not activate double locking when persons or animals are inside the vehicle. You will not be able to unlock the doors from the inside if you have double locked them.
Locking and unlocking confirmation
When you unlock the doors, the direction indicators will flash once.
When you lock the doors, the direction indicators will flash twice.

KEYLESS ENTRY
General information
WARNING
The keyless entry system may not function if the key is close to metal objects or electronic devices such as cell phones.
Note: If the door handles are pulled repeatedly during a short period of time without the presence of a valid passive key, the system will become inoperable for 30 seconds.
The passive entry system will not function if:
• The passive key frequencies are jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.
Note: If the passive entry system does not function, you will need to use the key blade to lock and unlock your vehicle.
The keyless system allows the driver to operate the vehicle without the use of a key or remote control.

Locks
Passive locking and unlocking requires a valid passive key to be located within one of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately one and a half meters from the driver and front passenger door handles and the luggage compartment lid.
Passive key
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked with the passive key. The passive key can
also be used as a remote control. See
Locking and Unlocking (page 37).
Locking the vehicle
WARNING
The vehicle does not lock itself automatically. If no locking button is pressed, the vehicle will remain unlocked.
Note: The ignition will automatically switch off when you lock your vehicle from the outside. This is to prevent the vehicle battery from discharging.
Note: If locking from the luggage compartment lid, the passive key must be within the luggage compartment lid detection range.
Locking buttons are located on each of the front doors and the luggage compartment lid.
To activate central locking and arm the alarm:
• Press a locking button once.
To activate double locking, to arm the alarm and the interior sensors:
• Press a locking button twice within three seconds.
Note: Once activated, the vehicle will remain locked for approximately three seconds. This is to allow you to pull a door handle and check if the vehicle is locked.
When the delay period is over, the doors can be opened again, provided the passive key is within the respective detection range.

Locks
Luggage compartment lid
Note: The luggage compartment lid cannot be closed and will pop back up if the passive key is located inside the luggage compartment.
Note: If a second valid passive key is located within the luggage compartment lid detection range, the luggage compartment lid can be closed.
Unlocking the vehicle
Note: If the vehicle remains locked for longer than five days, the system will enter an energy-saving mode. This is to reduce the discharge of the vehicle battery. When the vehicle is unlocked while in this mode, the reaction time of the system may be a little longer than normal. Unlocking the vehicle once will deactivate the energy-saving mode.
Unlocking only the driver's door
If the unlocking function is reprogrammed so that only the driver’s door is unlocked (
See Keys and Remote Controls (page
34). ), note the following:
If the driver’s door is the first door which is opened, the other doors and the luggage compartment lid will remain locked. Doors can be unlocked individually by pulling the interior door handles on those doors.
If the front passenger door or one of the rear doors is the first door which is opened, all the doors and the luggage compartment lid will be unlocked.
Disabled keys
Any keys left inside the vehicle interior when it is locked will be disabled.
A disabled key cannot be used to turn the ignition on or start the engine.
In order to use these passive keys again, they have to be enabled.
To enable all your passive keys, unlock the vehicle using a passive key or the remote control unlocking function.
All passive keys will then be enabled if the ignition is turned on or the vehicle is started using a valid key.
Pull one of the door handles or the luggage compartment lid handle.
Note: A valid passive key must be located within the detection range of that door.
One long flash of the direction indicators confirms that all the doors, the luggage compartment lid and the fuel filler flap have been unlocked and that the alarm has been disarmed.
