Locks & Alarm

LOCKING THE CAR AND ARMING THE ALARM

Using the remote handset

The handset has two buttons which, when pressed, send a coded

radio signal to a receiver in the car. Pressing the ‘padlock’ symbol

button activates the alarm system and pressing the plain button

deactivates the alarm system. On models with central door

locking, the ‘padlock’ symbol button also locks the car and the

plain button unlocks the car.

While it is not necessary to point the handset at the car, the handset

must be within range when the buttons are pressed. Note that the

operating range may vary depending upon handset battery

condition and may sometimes be limited by physical and

geographical factors beyond your control.

Models with central door locking

Before locking the car, ensure doors, windows, sunroof, bonnet

and tailgate are fully closed.

Locking with the remote handset:

1. Press the lock button once:

• all doors are locked.

• perimetric alarm activated (protects the doors, bonnet

and tailgate).

• engine immobilisation activated.

• interior space protection activated

2. The direction indicator lights flash to confirm that the car is

securely locked and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the

instrument panel) starts to flash. If the direction indicators fail

to flash, this indicates a mislock (see ‘Mislock’, page 10).

NOTE: If the remote central door locking/unlocking fails to operate, check

the fuse (number 5) located in the engine compartment fuse box and replace

if necessary. If the fuse has blown, the central door locking can still be

operated manually by using the key in the driver’s door lock, and the

engine can be remobilised by pressing the unlock button on the handset.
