WARNINGIf the battery of the key with remote control is down, the dead lock device can be
activated only using the metal insert of the key in the door revolving plug as
previously described. 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 (where provided)
The device is automatically activated on every door in the following
cases:
❒turning twice the metal insert of the key (A) in closing direction;
❒pressing twice button
Á.
Device activation is signalled by three flashings of the direction indicators and
flashing of the deterrence led (see the table on next page).
Should one of the doors be not perfectly closed, the dead lock device is not
activated, thus preventing that a person getting into the car from the open door
remains blocked inside the passenger’s compartment when he/she closes the
door.
Device deactivation (where provided)
The device is deactivated automatically on every door in the following
cases:
❒when unlocking the doors;
❒when unlocking only the driver’s door;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.
