Advice
Remote
control
The remote control is a sensitive, highfrequency device; avoid handling it in your pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons while out of range of the vehicle, due to the risk of rendering the remote control inoperative. It would then be necessary to reset it.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle immobiliser, as this might result in malfunctions.
Locking
the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make it more difficult for the emergency services to enter the passenger compartment in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, take the electronic key with you when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones able to start the vehicle.
Locking the vehicle

either automatically when leaving recognition
zone B, if the automatic functions are activated;
or by a light press on a door handle;
The locking is confirmed by the illumination of
the direction indicators and the daytime running
lamps as well as an audible signal for the locking
on moving away from the vehicle...
Back-up procedures
