CONTROLS AND DEVICES
Following the locking of the doors using:
❒ remote control;
❒ door catch;
it will not be possible to unlock them by
pressing button A-fig. 72 located on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking on,
pulling the internal handle of one of the
front doors will unlock that door. Indi-
vidual doors can be unlocked by pulling
the internal handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-
ever, possible to lock the doors manually.
After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, all
doors will be centrally locked automati-
cally if the setup menu function has been
selected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-
play” in this section).
Once the dead lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to
open the doors from inside the vehi-
cle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote
control battery is flat, the system can
be disengaged only by inserting the
key in either of the door locks as de-
scribed previously: in this case the de-
vice remains active only for the rear
doors.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒ interior handles;
❒ locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger com-
partment if there has been a break-in at-
tempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the
best possible protection against break-in
attempts. We recommend engaging it
whenever the vehicle is parked and left un-
attended.
Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door by briefly pressing
the remote control button Á fig. 70 twice.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes
of the direction indicators and a flash of
the LED on button A-fig. 72 on the dash-
board.
If one or more of the doors is not closed
correctly, the dead lock device will not ac-
tivate, thus preventing a person from get-
ting stuck inside the passenger compart-
ment by entering the car through, and
then closing, the open door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒ when opening the driver’s door using
the key without remote control;
❒ when unlocking doors using the remote
control;
❒ when turning the ignition key to MAR.
