After locking doors by:
❒remote control;
❒door revolving plug;
it will not be possible to unlock the doors
by pressing button
A-fig. 83set on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking system
on, pulling the internal door handle of one
of the front doors will unlock that door.
Pulling the internal door handle of one of the
rear doors will unlock the relevant door.
Lacking power (blown fuse, battery discon-
nected, etc.) it is however possible to lock
the doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h speed, doors will
be locked automatically if the set up menu
function has been selected (see paragraph
“Multifunction display” in this section).
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger’s compartment in any way what-
soever. For this reason, make sure
there are no person left inside the car.
If the battery of the key with remote
control is down, the dead lock device
can be deactivated only by fitting the
metal insert of the key in both front
door revolving plugs as described pre-
viously: in this case the dead lock de-
vice will stay engaged only on the rear
doors. DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 83;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g.: window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattended.Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door when pressing twice
briefly the remote control button
Á, fig.
81.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashing
of direction indicators and flashing of the
button led A-fig. 83located on the dash-
board.
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the car
from the open door remains blocked inside
the passenger’s compartment when she/he
closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated 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;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR.
