Hands-free locking when moving away from the vehicle
With the card on you, doors and luggage compartment door closed, move away from the vehicle: it will lock automatically once you have left the access zone 1.
Note: the distance at which the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings.

- after eight days of no use of the vehicle;
- if the card remains close to the 1 area of the vehicle for approximately five minutes after the vehicle has been locked;
- after several passes in the vicinity of the 1 area of the vehicle and without the door being unlocked.
Use the card as a remote control to unlock the vehicle and reactivate the mode.
Special features relating to “hands-free” locking
After locking in “hands-free” mode, you have to wait approximately three seconds to be able to unlock the vehicle again. During these three seconds, the door handles can be tried to make sure that the vehicle is locked properly.
Note: if a door or the boot is open or not properly shut, locking is not carried out. A beep sounds and the hazard warning lights and side repeaters do not flash.

Locking using the card
With the doors and boot closed, press button 3: the vehicle locks.

- the maximum distance at which the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings;

If, while the engine is running, a door is opened and closed, and the card is no longer in the zone 2, the message “Keycard Not Detected” indicates that the card is not inside the vehicle.

The warning disappears when the card is detected again.
