18 MISLOCK
A mislock will occur if:
·A door, bonnet or tailgate are left open.
·The key is left in the starter switch.
·An incomplete lazy lock is attempted. The
message centre will indicate the cause of a
mislock e.g. SUNROOF BLOCKED.
If a mislock occurs, a warning bleep will
sound in which case you should unlock the
vehicle, rectify the cause of the mislock and
then re-lock the vehicle.
LAZY LOCKING
Lazy locking enables you to use the handset
or key to close the windows and sunroof at
the same time as you secure the vehicle.
To operate lazy locking:
1.Ensure the doors, bonnet and tailgate are
properly closed.
2.With the handset - press and hold the
lock button (press twice and hold on the
second press if superlocking).
With the key - turn and hold the key in the
lock position.
The doors and tailgate will lock and the
windows, followed by the sunroof will close.
NOTE:If a window or the sunroof detects an
obstruction, a mislock occurs and the locking
sequence will stop. Remove the obstruction
before trying to lazy lock again.LAZY SEATS
The lazy seat facility is available only on
vehicles fitted with a drivers seat memory.
The facility enables the handsets to be used to
recall the pre-set electric seat/mirror positions
when you UNLOCK the door. The two
handsets are separately identified by different
labels and by grey and black battery covers -
key 1 corresponds to drivers seat memory 1,
and key 2 to seat memory 2 (seeSeats).
NOTE:If additional handset/keys have been
obtained (key 3 and key 4), they are not linked
to the memory seat system.
Press and hold the unlock button on the
handset for 1
1/2seconds (the indicator light
on the handset flashes rapidly), and then
release. The drivers seat and both mirrors will
move to the positions programmed into the
relevant seat memory.
NOTE:Lazy seats will only operate if
volumetric protection was activated when the
vehicle was locked (ie. by superlocking using
the handset).
It will not function if the alarm system has
already been triggered since it was last set,
and will be cancelled if a door is opened, or if
the vehicle is relocked.

19 AUTO RELOCK
Auto relock ensures that, if the vehicle is
unlocked accidentally, the vehicle will relock
itself automatically after a 60 second delay.
Once the unlock button on the handset has
been pressed, the alarm system will monitor
the vehicle for 60 seconds. If any of the
following occur during this period, the vehicle
will remain unlocked:
·A door or the tailgate is opened.
·Interior movement is detected.
·The key is inserted into the starter switch,
or the switch is turned to position I.
However, if none of the above has occurred
within 60 seconds, then the vehicle will
automatically return to its previous locked
state.
CHILD-PROOF LOCKS(rear doors only)
Move the lever downwards (arrowed in
illustration) to engage.
With the child-proof locks engaged, the rear
doors cannot be opened from inside the
vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door
being opened accidentally while the vehicle is
moving.
Opening the doors
When opening a door from outside the
vehicle, it is recommended that the moving
part of the handle is held by the fingers and
that the door catch is operated by pushing
with the thumb against the fixed part of the
handle.

INERTIA CUT-OFF SWITCH
This switch is a safety device that
automatically unlocks the doors in the event
of an accident or sudden impact (provided the
starter switch is turned on). In addition, the
inertia switch inhibits power to the electric
fuel pump, turns off the heating and air
conditioning fans, and turns on the hazard
warning lights, which continue flashing until
either the starter switch is turned off or the
inertia switch is reset.
The switch is located behind the vertical panel
in the right hand footwell. Remove the cover
by using a coin to rotate the turnbuckle
anti-clockwise and then prise the cover off.When the switch is tripped, the message
centre will alternately display; REFER
HANDBOOK and INERTIA SWITCH.
To reset the switch, press the rubber top
(arrowed in illustration).
NOTE:The vehicle can be secured even if the
switch has been tripped by removing the
starter key, opening and closing one of the
front doors and then locking the vehicle.
WARNING
Always check for fuel leaks before resetting
the switch!

Handset batteries
When the batteries need replacing, the
message centre will display KEY BATTERY
LOW. To replace:
·Remove the battery cover by turning the
cover anti-clockwise with a coin.
·Taking care not to touch the circuit board,
prise the batteries from the cover and fit
new ones (with the positive side facing the
cover), and replace the cover.
The batteries should be replaced within 1
minute of removing the old ones, otherwise it
may be necessary to re-synchronise the
handset (seeHandset synchronisation). New
batteries are available from your dealer.
NOTE:Finger marks on the batteries will
adversely affect battery life. If possible, avoid
touching the surface of the batteries, and wipe
clean before fitting.Handset synchronisation
The handset transmits a coded message,
which changes each time a button is pressed.
If a handset is operated too many times out of
range of the vehicle or if the handset batteries
are removed for longer than a minute, it may
need to be re-synchronised.
To synchronise:
Insert the handset key into the starter switch;
the handset will then be re-synchronised.
NOTE:Handset synchronisation cannot be
achieved if the vehicle alarm is armed or if the
handset batteries need replacing. 
						

							Tailgate
22
OPENING THE TAILGATE
With the vehicle unlocked, press the release
button once to release the upper tailgate.
NOTE:There is a handle built into the lower
edge of the upper tailgate to assist in opening
and closing.
With the upper tailgate open, press the release
button again to release the lower tailgate,
which can then be lowered to the horizontal
position.
NOTE:The tailgate cannot be opened if the
vehicle battery is flat or disconnected. If this
occurs, access to the loadspace can only be
achieved by folding the rear seats from inside
the vehicle (see Seats).CLOSING THE TAILGATE
Raise the lower tailgate first and close firmly.
Then lower and close the upper tailgate.
WARNING
Do not drive with the tailgate open;
poisonous carbon monoxide fumes will
enter the vehicle.

before driving and before leaving the
vehicle unattended.
