LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
LOCKS

The luggage compartment is locked and
unlocked electrically in conjunction with
the doors.

Neither the luggage compartment lid
release switch on the facia nor the lid
release button will operate whilst the
vehicle is armed or in valet mode. An
attempt to operate these switches whilst
in valet mode will result in an audible
warning chime.

To open the luggage compartment,
use any of the methods that follow:
• Press the luggage compartment lid

release switch (1), which is located on
the facia switchpack. This switch will
not operate if the vehicle speed
exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph).

• Press the luggage compartment

button (2) on the key transmitter (see
the Note following).

Note: Button (2) will only operate with the
gear selector in P.
• Insert a key into the luggage

compartment lock (3), however,
opening with the key when the vehicle
is armed will cause the alarm to sound
immediately. Should this occur, press
the transmitter unlock button, or place
the key in the ignition, to disarm the
alarm system.

• With the vehicle unlocked, press the

release button (4) on the luggage
compartment lid. The button will not
operate unless P or N has been
selected and the vehicle is unlocked.

• The luggage compartment locks

automatically when the lid is closed.

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
EMERGENCY RELEASE

Your vehicle is equipped with a
mechanical interior luggage
compartment release handle that
provides a means of escape for children
and adults in the event they become
locked inside the luggage compartment.

Adults are advised to familiarise
themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle.

The T- shaped handle is located on the
luggage compartment door lid.

To open the luggage compartment lid
from the inside, pull the illuminated
T- shaped handle and push up the trunk
lid. The material that the handle is made of
will glow for hours in the darkness of the
luggage compartment following brief
exposure to ambient light.

Ensure that the T- shaped handle is firmly
returned to its stowed position after use.

!

WARNING:

Keep vehicle doors and the luggage
compartment locked and keep keys
out of a child’s reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in an
open trunk and risk injury. Children
should be taught not to play in vehicles.

!

WARNING:

On hot days, the temperature in the
luggage compartment and vehicle
interior can rise very quickly. Exposure
of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time can
cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk.

Alarm Systems

Alarm Systems

AUDIBLE SIGNALS

Note: In certain countries, legislation
prohibits the use of audible confirmation
signals. In such cases, the sound source
has been removed from the system.

Two audible signals will be heard (if
enabled) if an attempt is made to lock the
vehicle with a key in the driver’s door lock
barrel or the lock button is pressed on the
key transmitter; if a door, the hood or the
luggage compartment is not fully closed,
or a key is in the ignition switch.

The full alarm will activate, as previously
described, unless the security system is
disarmed, either by pressing the unlock
button on the key transmitter, or by
placing a valid key into the ignition switch
and turning the key to position II.

An audible signal will sound when:
• The valet switch is pressed with the

luggage compartment closed.

• The vehicle is in valet mode and the

interior/luggage compartment release
button, or glove compartment switch
is pressed.

• A door is opened if the vehicle is

passively armed. This mode can be
cancelled by disarming the security
system, using the key transmitter, by
turning the key in the ignition switch to
position II, or, by turning the key in the
driver’s door lock barrel towards the
front of the vehicle.

FULL ALARM

Once armed, any of the following
circumstances will create a full alarm
state, sound the horns, sound the siren, or
a combination of both (as country
legislation dictates) and flash the direction
indicators:
• Opening a door, luggage

compartment lid (except with
transmitter) or hood.

• Movement in the passenger area (if

intrusion sensors are fitted).

• Using a key in the ignition switch

which is not programmed to the
vehicle.

• An attempt to lift, or tow the vehicle

(when inclination sensor fitted).

• The vehicle battery is disconnected

and the vehicle is fitted with a Battery
Backed Sounder (only Battery Backed
Sounder will be audible).

• If, after 15 seconds (passively armed),

from opening the driver’s door with a
key (as country legislation dictates),
the key is not inserted into the ignition
switch and turned to position II, or a
passenger door is opened before the
driver’s door.

• If, after seven seconds (actively

armed), from opening the driver door
with a key (as regional legislation
dictates) the key is not inserted into
the ignition and turned to position II,
or a passenger door is opened before
the driver’s door.

• Any attempt is made to remove the

radio or the front navigation system (if
fitted).
