- turn off the ignition.
When locking your vehicle, two flashes will appear then the hazard warning lights and indicator lights switch on for approximately three seconds to indicate that the programming has been taken into account.
Note: the marker 1 reminds you of the vehicle start time that you have already set.
To activate start-up by programming, you must select a time at least fifteen minutes later than the time displayed by the multimedia system.

- the ignition is switched off;
- all the opening elements (bonnet, doors, boot) are closed and locked when you leave the vehicle.

“Wake up every 2 hours”
This function enables your vehicle to start automatically every two hours depending on the engine temperature.
To activate this function, press the “ON“ button.
When this function is activated, the ventilation system will not activate during the first four start-ups, if they happen.
In very cold conditions, the vehicle will start automatically and will stay on for approximately ten minutes before switching off.
If the engine temperature does not require a restart, the vehicle will not start automatically during the first four reactivation times and will return to standby for two hours. The engine will be restarted if the engine temperature is too low.
In all cases, the last start-up will happen.
Approximately fifteen minutes before the programmed time, the engine starts and remains on for about ten minutes.
Depending on the vehicle, please ensure that consumers such as the wipers, exterior lights, radio, heated seats, heated steering wheel, etc. are disabled and all accessories are disconnected before leaving the vehicle.
