Lock confirmation

When the car is locked or unlocked the direction indicators confirm that locking or unlocking was correctly performed.

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, tailgate 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 lock indication with hazard warning flashers will only occur after all doors, tailgate and bonnet have been closed.
