When you lock the car, some of its functions and systems are either shut down or activated to help protect the car from theft. For example, the alarm is automatically armed.
Warning
Alarm
The alarm is automatically armed when you lock the car and disarmed when you unlock it.
Gear shift lock
When the car is locked, the gear shift is locked.
Immobiliser
The immobiliser is an anti-theft system that prevents your car from being driven until it's started using a valid key. If your car can't find the key or fails to authenticate it, your car will remain immobilised. If the key can't be found or has a low battery, a notification appears in the centre display. If your car is unresponsive to a battery-powered key, try using a key card. If the car appears to have no power, the cause could be flat batteries or something affecting its electrical systems.
Double lock
The double lock feature allows you to simultaneously lock your car from the outside and the inside. This is to prevent unauthorised attempts to open the car using the inner door handles.
There isn't a specific setting to activate or enable double locking. For double locking to take effect, you need to disable occupant locking and then lock the doors as usual. The double lock system then activates after a few seconds.
