Note. The spare key must be kept in a safe place.
Locking and unlocking from inside the vehicle
Press or pull out the latch. It is not possible to press the driver's door open latch to lock it.
Child lock
Use the child safety lock whenever there are children in the rear seats. Failure to do so may result in injury or danger to life. Inform passengers accordingly.
Use the key to turn the rotary latch on the rear door from the vertical position: it is no longer possible to open the door from the inside.
Electronic engine immobilizer
The locking system checks whether the engine is allowed to start with the key used. The engine can only be started if the key is recognized by the system as «permitted». The verification is carried out using a transponder built into the key.
The electronic immobilizer is activated automatically after the key is removed from the ignition switch.
Engine start blocking indicator
After switching on the ignition, the signaling device lights up briefly.
If the indicator flashes when the ignition is on, then the system is faulty and the engine cannot be started. In this case, turn off the ignition and turn it on again.
If the indicator continues to flash, try to start the engine with a spare key and contact a workshop for help.
If the warning light comes on after starting the engine, there is a problem with the engine electronics or the automatic transmission.
Note. The engine immobilizer system does not lock the doors, so always lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft alarm after leaving the vehicle.
Note. The vehicle passport contains safety-related vehicle data, so the passport must be kept in a safe place outside the vehicle.
Remote control device
The remote control device is built into the key.
The device controls the central locking device, the mechanical anti-theft device and the anti-theft alarm device.
The remote control has a range of approximately 3 m. The range may be affected by environmental conditions. To use the device, point the remote control towards the vehicle.
The remote control device should be handled with care, avoid exposure to moisture and high temperatures, and avoid unnecessary use.
Operation is indicated by a brief flashing of the emergency light.
Possible malfunctions
If it is not possible to control the central locking device with a remote control, the cause of the malfunction may be as follows:
- the range of the remote control device has been exceeded;
- remote control battery voltage too low (see below for battery replacement);
- repeated, consecutive attempts to use the remote control device outside the vehicle's reception range (for example, the distance to the vehicle is too great, causing the remote control to be unrecognized) - it is necessary to synchronize the remote control device;
- overload of the central locking device as a result of frequent, repeated impacts, the power supply to the device is interrupted for a short time;
- superposition of radio waves due to the presence of external high-power radio devices.
To eliminate the malfunction, it is recommended to contact the technical service station.
Replacing the remote control battery
If the range of the remote control decreases, replace the battery immediately.
To do this, separate the remote control from the key as shown in the figure.
The head of the key contains a transponder for the engine immobilizer system. Make sure it is not damaged or lost.
Insert a screwdriver and, turning it slightly, open the remote control, see fig. higher.
Open the remote control device. Remove the battery with a screwdriver. Replace the battery, observing the polarity. Close the remote control and latch. Insert it into the key and click it.
Change the battery within 3 minutes, otherwise the remote control will need to be resynchronized.
Synchronization of the remote control device
In the event of a malfunction, the remote control must be synchronized.
Turn on the ignition, within 30 s the system will be in synchronization mode.
Briefly press the keys on the remote control inserted into the ignition lock,
Synchronization is confirmed by a single locking and unlocking of the central locking device.
Central locking for doors, sliding door, trunk and filler hatch
To lock, press the key (see picture) remote control or press the latch on the driver's door with the doors closed.
Locking with a mechanical anti-theft device
All doors must be closed. Not later than 10 seconds after locking, press the button on the remote control again.
The latches of all doors will be blocked from the moment of opening.
If the ignition is switched on, the driver's door must be opened and closed so that the vehicle can be locked.
Do not block if there are people in the car. Release from the inside is not possible.
Unlocking
To unlock, press the key (see picture) remote control or pull out the latch on the driver's door.
When the mechanical anti-theft device is on, it is impossible to unlock the doors by pulling out the latch.
Note. It is not possible to press the driver's door open latch to lock it.
Note. If the driver's door is not properly closed, the central locking device is immediately unlocked again after locking.
30 seconds after unlocking with the remote control, the doors will automatically lock if no doors have been opened.
For locking doors from the inside (for example, to prevent outsiders from entering the passenger compartment) press the latch on the driver's door.
Locked doors in an accident are unlocked automatically, in cases of a certain severity of the accident (to help outside) – provided that the ignition is not switched off.
On Combo vehicles: if the sliding door is still open when the vehicle is locked, it will not be locked until a few seconds after closing.
Closing windows from the outside
On vehicles with electronically controlled power windows, the front door windows can be closed from the outside by holding down the button (see picture) on the remote control until the windows are closed.
Overload
With too frequent, repeated exposure, the power supply to the central locking device will be interrupted for a short time.
The system is protected by a fuse in the fuse box.
