This function is independent of the vehicle electronic opening and
locking systems. It only affects rear doors. It can only be activated
and deactivated manually, as described below:
Activating the childproof lock
–Unlock the vehicle and open the door in which you wish to acti-
vate the childproof lock.
–With the door open, rotate the groove in the door using the igni-
tion key, anticlockwise for the left hand side doors ⇒ Fig. 44
and clockwise for the right hand side doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock
–Unlock the vehicle and open the door whose childproof lock you
want to deactivate.
–With the door open, rotate the groove in the door using the igni-
tion key, anticlockwise for the right hand side doors and clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ⇒ Fig. 44.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the door can only be opened from the
outside. The childproof lock can be activated and deactivated by inserting
the key in the groove when the door is open, as described above.
