Indication on locking/unlocking the car

Updated 06/08/2023

When the car is locked or unlocked using the remote control key, the direction indicators confirm that locking/unlocking was correctly performed.

It is possible to separately adapt the indication for locking/unlocking, see the heading "Select how the car confirms locking and unlocking".

Exterior indication

Locking

The car's hazard warning flashers indicate locking by flashing and retracting the door mirrors1.

Unlocking

The car's hazard warning flashers indicate unlocking by two flashes and extending the door mirrors1.

All doors, boot lid and bonnet must be closed to indicate the car is locked.

If locking is performed with only the driver's door closed2, the car will be locked but indication will only occur after all doors, boot lid and bonnet have been closed.
