When exiting the vehicle, always make sure of the following: Park (P) gear is selected. The engine is switched off. The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied. The smart key is removed from the vehicle. This is to protect the safety of those inside and outside the vehicle.
Once armed, the alarm activates if:
The smart key may not be detected if it is inside a metal container, or is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example, a smartphone, or laptop, including when inside a laptop bag, or a games console. Keep the smart key clear of such devices when attempting keyless entry, keyless locking, or push button start.
Loose coins, in the same pocket as the smart key, can act as a shield and may affect its detection.
Keyless locking activates only if the smart key is detected outside the vehicle. If no smart key is present, locking does not occur.
The vehicle does not lock automatically.
To operate keyless locking:
Do not grip the door handle while touching the sensor. Doing so prevents the vehicle from locking.
When using keyless locking, the vehicle does not lock when:
No audible mislock error warning is given. The hazard warning lights do not flash and the power-fold mirrors, if enabled, do not fold in. Make sure that the ignition is switched off, and that all of the doors, the hood, and the tailgate are closed properly. Lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
If uncertain about the vehicle’s locked and armed status, press the lock button on the smart key. With keyless entry, touch a lock button on an exterior door handle. The hazard warning lights flash once to indicate and confirm the current lock status. One short flash means that the vehicle is single-locked.
When locking the vehicle with the smart key, a mislock can occur if:
If any of the above are present, the vehicle does not lock and an audible mislock error warning sounds. The hazard warning lights do not flash and the power-fold mirrors (if enabled) do not fold in. Check that all of the doors, the hood, and the tailgate are closed properly. Make sure the ignition is switched off and lock the vehicle again. If the mislock persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
Operating the interior or exterior door handles, while attempting to unlock, lock, or change the child lock status of the vehicle including drive-away locking, may cause the security system to ignore any unlock, lock, or child lock requests.
While a door is open, the locking latch is exposed. If the latch has the soft-close feature, do not attempt to manually close the latch. It may automatically soft-close and trap items or body parts.
If the vehicle is locked with the smart key, operating an interior door handle unlocks only that door. If the door is opened, the alarm sounds.
The rear door child safety locks inhibit the rear door lock and unlock buttons and the interior door handles. See CHILD SAFETY LOCKS.
Clear Exit Monitor is a passenger aid only. It remains the responsibility of the user to open the door with due care and attention. Make sure the door is opened in a manner which is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users. Failure to open doors safely could cause serious injury or damage to the vehicle.
Make sure that the Clear Exit warning icons and indicators are not obscured by stickers or other objects. Obscuration of the Clear Exit warning icons will impair the user’s ability to utilise the feature, which could cause damage to the vehicle.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the rear bumper as these could impair the operation of the Clear Exit Monitor feature. Clear Exit Monitor warns of another vehicle, or moving object approaching from behind when the door has been unlatched from the inside. Sensors in the rear bumper monitor nearby traffic. If the system determines that opening the door could be unsafe, due to passing traffic, it gives a visible warning to the occupant. The system does not prevent the door from being opened. Clear Exit Monitor is fitted to rear doors only.
The Clear Exit Monitor system activates only when the door has been unlatched. The icons illuminate as follows:
The icons extinguish after the door has been closed.
The Clear Exit Monitor system may not be able to detect all approaching traffic in all circumstances. The operation relies on the sensor’s ability to detect moving objects and this may be affected by road and weather conditions, and, also, if:
Under these circumstances, as well as loss of functionality, reduced warning times may be experienced. The clear exit monitor is only active below vehicle speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h). The system remains active for 3 minutes after the ignition is switched off.
If the alarm activates, it can be deactivated by any one of the following methods:
The cause of the last alarm activation can be displayed in the instrument panel. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
Do not leave the emergency key blade in the vehicle at any point during the emergency locking procedure.
In the event of a fault with the alarm and/or locking system, manually secure the vehicle. Lock all of the doors via the driver’s door key barrel.
The emergency key blade is required for this procedure. See UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE.

Using the emergency key:
Repeat the procedure for all other unlocked doors.
