Keyless entry

General information

The system does not work if:

• The vehicle battery is discharged.
• The passive key frequencies are being jammed.
• The passive key battery is discharged.

Note: if the system does not work, you will need to use the key blade to lock and unlock the vehicle.

This system allows you to operate the vehicle without using a key or remote control.

For passive locking and unlocking to take place, a valid passive key must be present in one of the three outside detection zones. These zones are approximately 1 m from the front door handles and the tailgate.

Note: the system may not work if the passive key is near metal objects or electronic devices such as keys or mobile phones.

Passive key

You can lock and unlock your vehicle using the passive key.

You can use the passive key as a remote control. See Locking and unlocking

Locking the vehicle

Lock sensors are located on each front door.

To activate central locking and arm the alarm, press a lock sensor once.

To activate double locking and arm the alarm, press a lock sensor twice within three seconds.

Note: your vehicle does not lock automatically. If you do not press a lock sensor, your vehicle remains unlocked. Note: do not grip the door handle when locking your vehicle. Note: keep the door handle surface clean to ensure proper system operation.

Note: your vehicle will remain locked for approximately three seconds. Once this time delay has elapsed, you can open the doors again, provided the passive key is within the appropriate detection zone.

Two short flashes of the turn signals confirm that all doors and the tailgate have been locked and that the alarm is armed.

Tailgate

Note: if the passive key is in the luggage compartment and the doors are locked, the tailgate cannot be closed and will reopen. Note: if a second valid passive key is within the tailgate detection range, the tailgate can be closed.

Unlocking the vehicle

One long flash of the turn signals confirms that all doors and the tailgate have been unlocked and that the alarm has been disarmed.

Note: if the vehicle remains locked for more than three days, the system switches to energy-saving mode. This prevents the vehicle battery from discharging.

When the vehicle is unlocked in this mode, the system response time may be slightly longer than normal.

To exit energy-saving mode, unlock your vehicle. Note: a valid passive key must be within the detection zone of the door whose handle was operated.

Driver door unlocking only

You can program the system so that only the driver's door is unlocked. See Remote Control.

You can program the system so that only the driver's door is unlocked. See Remote Control.

• If the driver's door is the first door opened, all other doors remain locked. You can unlock all other doors from inside your vehicle by pressing the unlock button. The other doors can be unlocked individually by pulling the inside door handle of the door in question.
• If the front passenger door is the first door opened, all other doors are unlocked.

Passive Keys Deactivated

Any key left inside your vehicle when it is locked is deactivated.

You cannot use a deactivated key to switch on the ignition or start the engine.

You must reactivate all passive keys before you can use them.

To activate all passive keys, unlock your vehicle using a passive key that has not been deactivated or using the unlock function of the remote control.

All passive keys will be activated if you switch on the ignition or start your vehicle with a valid key.

Locking and unlocking the doors with the key blade

Slide the cover on the back of the remote control, then remove it to access the key blade.

Note: only the driver's door handle is fitted with a lock cylinder.
