Locking/unlocking the car from
outside
Unlocking
The remote control unlock button can unlock
the car in two different ways (select option in
personal preferences, see page 67):
with one press unlock both doors and the
boot lid
with one press unlock the driver’s door
and with a second press unlock the other
door and the boot lid.
Locking
The remote control locks both side doors
and the boot lid simultaneously. The door
lock buttons and inside handles are disen-
gaged.
The fuel filler flap cannot be opened if the car
is locked with the remote control.
Automatic relocking
If none of the doors or the boot lid is opened
within two minutes of unlocking, all are
locked again automatically (does not apply to
locking from inside). This function prevents
the car from being left unlocked unintention-
ally. For cars with alarms, see page 106.
Automatic locking
When the speed of the car exceeds 7 km/h
the doors and boot lid can be locked auto-
matically.
When the function is activated and the doors
have been locked they can be opened in two
ways:
pull one of the door handles twice
press the unlock button by the door han-
dle.
The function can be activated/deactivated by
means of personal preferences, see page 67.
Boot lid
Unlocking
Unlocking boot lid only:
Press the boot lid unlock button on the
remote control.
Locking
If the doors are locked when the boot lid is
closed then it remains unlocked. Lock with
the remote control or from inside to lock the
both doors and the boot lid.
NOTE
The car can be locked
1
even if a door or the
boot lid is open. When the door is closed
there is a risk that the keys will be locked in.

control. You cannot leave the car using any
of the controls inside the car.
