Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this rea-
son, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car.
INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS

turning on of warning light
Y
(if pro-
vided) on the instrument panel with the
relevant message on the display (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system com-
pletely (for instance during prolonged in-
activity of the car) simply lock the car us-
ing the emergency locking.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the alarm if re-
mote control batteries are down or the
system is failing, fit the key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒ door internal handles;
❒ button A and B for locking/unlocking
the doors fig. 15;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window break-
ing).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattend-
ed.

WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated on-
ly using the metal insert of the key on
the driver’s side door as described pre-
viously: in this case the dead lock de-
vice is active only on the rear doors.
