Deadlock device
The deadlock device enables to dis-
connect mechanically the internal
door handles; in this case, doors can-
not be opened from the inside by
acting on the handles after breaking
the glass (improving protection
against theft).
The device can be switched on by
pressing the remote control button B
(fig. 29) again within 1 second after
closing the doors: active function
will be indicated by a beep and 2
further blinks of the direction indi-
cators.
The device activates only if all the
doors are properly closed.
When the deadlock device is
switched on, the door panel leds will
flash twice with red light.
After activating the dead
lock device it will be
impossible to get out of
the passenger compartment: for
this reason this device must be
activated only after making sure
that the passenger compartment
is empty.The front door leds are also used as
deterrent leds for the alarm system;
as a consequence, they will flash
when the alarm system is on or the
doors are locked.
The CONNECT enables to set the
central locking of all the doors or
only the driver’s door.
In the former case, all the car doors
are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through any door.
In the second case, access is possible
only through the driver’s door,
whereas the other doors are locked,
thus preventing un-authorized per-
sons from getting into the car.In this case, the driver’s door led
comes on with green light, whereas
the leds on the other doors will
remain off.
When only the driver’s door is
unlocked, after opening the driver’s
door, also the other doors can be
unlocked by pressing the central
unlocking button B(fig. 35) so as to
enable passengers getting into the
car.
IMPORTANTButtons Band C
(fig. 35) are disabled when the doors
are locked from the outside.
If, when the doors are closed from
the outside, one or more doors
and/or the boot are not closed cor-
rectly, the direction indicators will
flash rapidly for a few seconds.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM
THE INSIDE
To open the door even when the
lock is locked, pull handle A(fig. 35
front doors -fig. 36 rear doors) set in
the upper part of the panel.
Next to each door handle are two
buttons that actuate lock
locking/unlocking:
– B button for unlocking;
– Cbutton for locking.
The red/green leds A(fig. 33 front
doors –fig. 34 rear doors) indicate
the locking/unlocking condition.
The leds come on with red light for
about 3 seconds after door locking
and with green light after unlocking.
By pulling the internal handle of
the driver’s door, all the doors or
only the driver’s door will be simul-
taneously unlocked, depending on
the setting selected on the CON-
NECT. By pulling the internal han-
dle of any other door, all the doors
are simultaneously unlocked.

L0A0052b
With the dead lock
device on, pressing the
external handle button of
one of the doors while unlocking
the doors by the remote control
could cause the disconnection of
the internal handle of the
involved door thus making
impossible to open that door
from the inside. To restore regu-
lar operation, just press the
remote control central door
unlocking button or button B (fig.
36) on the door panel.A led is located near each door
handle to make it easy to find the
handle in the dark. The leds light up
for about 2 minutes after turning the
ignition key to STOPor until a door
is opened.
Door open indication
The driver is informed that one or
several doors are not closed correct-
ly by the lighting of the correspond-
ing symbols on the instrument dis-
play, together with the messages
“DOOR OPEN” or “DOORS
OPEN”.

58
Disabling rear door
locking/unlocking controls
To disable rear door locking/un-
locking controls, press the driver's
door button A(fig. 37) for more than
one second. When controls are off, the
button warning light will come on.
To restore controls, press button A
again. When controls are enabled, the
button warning light is off.CHILD LOCK
To prevent opening the rear doors
from the inside.
Engage by inserting the tip of the ig-
nition key in A(fig. 38) to turn the
lock.
Position 1- engaged.
Position 2- disengaged.
The device will be engaged even if
the doors are unlocked by means of
the centralised system.IMPORTANT After engaging the
lock, check by trying to open a rear
door with the internal handle.

Always use the lock when
transporting children. This
will prevent them opening
a door by themselves when travel-
ling.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING
WHEN SPEED EXCEEDS
20 KM/H
The CONNECT enables to set
automatic locking of doors, boot and
fuel cap when the car speed exceeds
20 km/h.
To actuate these settings, refer to
the CONNECT supplement provid-
ed with the car.

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING
WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM
RECOGNITION SYSTEM)
On versions equipped with Keyless
System, the “Autoclose” function
can be actuated/deactivated through
the CONNECT settings. This func-
tion makes it possible to automati-
cally lock the boot and doors when
the CID device is taken away from
the car.
When leaving the car, if one or
more doors are not closed correctly,
the car will remain open and a fur-
ther beep will sound to indicate that
the locks have not been locked.
The “Autoclose” functions actuates
neither the alarm system nor the
door deadlock device (refer to the
contents of the relevant paragraph).
In any case, these functions can be
actuated by means of the remote
control.LOCK RELEASE IN CASE OF
ACCIDENT
In case of collision with actuation
of the inertia switch, the door locks
are automatically released to allows
rescuers to get access to the passen-
ger compartment.In any case, door open-
ing from the outside
depends on the door con-
ditions after the collision:
deformed doors cannot very often
be opened even if the lock is
released. In such a case, try to
open the other doors.
INITIALISING THE DOOR
LOCKING CONTROL UNIT
Whenever the battery is electrically
connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the door locking, of air conditioning
and of ESP system, it is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If bat-
tery is to be disconnected” in the
chapter “In an emergency”. The external mechanical
connections are active
only when the doors are
unlocked.
In the event that the driver has
actuated central locking from the
inside and, after a collision, the
inertia switch has not actuated
the automatic door unlocking
function due to the loss of or
damage to the battery, access to
the passenger compartment will
not be possible from the outside.

MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE SEATS
(Moving the seats backwards or
forwards) (fig. 39)
Lift lever Aand push the seat for-
wards or backwards: you are in the cor-
rect position for driving when your
hands are resting on the steering wheel
rim and your arms are slightly bent. FRONT SEATS
Only adjust the driver’s
seat when the car is sta-
tionary.
Once you have lever
released the lever, check
that the seat is firmly
locked in the runners by trying to
move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result
in the seat moving suddenly and
dangerously.ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE
SEATS
Electric adjustment of seats is pos-
sible under one of the following con-
ditions:
– ignition switch to MAR
– for approx. 1 minute after
removing the ignition key or turning
it to STOP
– for approx. 3 minutes with key
removed or turned to STOPand
with door open.
The seat adjustment controls are:

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.

STORING THE DRIVER’S SEAT
POSITIONS (fig. 46)
The system allows to store and
recall three different driver’s seat
positions and external rear view mir-
ror positions.
Seat position memorization also
includes the head restraint adjust-
ment in height, the position of the
external rear view mirrors and of the
steering wheel (only versions with
electric adjustment).
The seat, external rear view mirror
and steering wheel positions can
only be stored when the ignition key
is at MAR.Adjust the position of the seat,
head restraint, external rear view
mirrors and steering wheel by means
of the relevant controls, then press
for about 3 seconds any of buttons
“1”, “2” or “3” each corresponding
to one stored position, until a confir-
mation beep is heard.
When memorising the seat posi-
tions, also the head restraint, electric
rear view mirror and steering wheel
positions are memorised.
The previously stored position will
automatically be deleted when a new
position is stored under the same
button.
IMPORTANTSeat position mem-
orization does not include lumbar
adjustment and heating actuation.
Recalling stored positions
With the key in position MAR, any
stored position can be recalled by
briefly pressing the respective but-
ton “1”, “2” or “3”. The seat will
move automatically and stop in the
stored position.
fig. 46
L0A0152b

63
Stored position are recalled only if
the required position is different
from the current one and is not pos-
sible when the car speed exceeds 10
km/h.
Seats can be moved only when the
ignition key is at MARand, for
about 1 minute, also after removing
the key or turning it to STOP: dur-
ing this time, the external rear view
mirrors will not move, but when the
car is started again, they will be
automatically realigned together
with the seat position (see paragraph
“Automatic realignment of external
rear view mirrors”).
If stored seat position recalling is
still in course after this time has
elapsed, recalling will be concluded
in any case.If the engine is started during the
recalling stage, seat moving will be
stopped; once this stage is over the
seat will return automatically to the
stored position.
IMPORTANTPressing any of
memorisation or adjustment buttons
during the recalling stage, causes the
immediate stop of the seat (antipan-
ic mode).
Storing the “parking” position of
the external rear view mirror on
passenger side
You can achieve better visibility
during manoeuvres in reverse gear
(for instance, when parking the car)
by adjusting the external passenger
rear view mirror to a different posi-
tion from the one normally used.
This position can be stored by the
driver.To store the position proceed as
follows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear;
– adjust the position of the external
passenger rear view mirror by means
of the respective controls so as to
obtain the optimum position for the
parking manoeuvre;
– press down for at least 3 seconds
any of buttons “1”, “2” or “3” (fig.
46) used to store/recall the seat posi-
tion;
– together with the “parking” posi-
tion of the external passenger side
rear view mirror, also the seat posi-
tion, the driver rear view mirror
position and the driving position of
the external passenger side rear view
mirror are stored.
A sound signal warns the driver
that the mirror position has been
stored.
