VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
SENSORS
The volumetric sensors are located inside
the front ceiling light in the passenger’s
compartment. To make sure that the vol-
umetric sensors are working properly,
check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows
and sunroof (where provided) are shut.
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
If it is necessary to switch on the alarm
when animals or people are in the car,
press button A-fig. 13 on the front ceil-
ing light to deactivate the volumetric pro-
tection.
Deactivation is needed also in the pres-
ence of additional independent heater and
when it is switched on with the remote
control.
fig. 14F0L0172m
ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally. Sideslip angle changes
lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flat-
tening) are not considered).
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button B-fig. 14on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on
until activating the central door opening
again.

INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
Any attempt to break in is indicated by
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

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 Aand Bfor 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
both door revolving plugs as described
previously: in this case the dead lock
device is active only on the rear doors.
