Te c h n i c a l D a t a
On deactivating the “Safe” system, the al
arm volumetric sensor is also deac-
tivated.
With the “Safe” switched off, doors ca n be opened from the interior but not

On the driver's door, there is a visible light indicator which shows the “Safe”
system status.
We will know that “Safe” system is activated by the flashing light indicator.
The indicator will flash on all vehicles, fitted and nor fitted with an alarm, until
they unlock.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without an alarm: Continuous Indicator flashes.
Safe deactivated without an alarm: The indicator remains off.
Safe deactivated with an alarm: The indicator remains off.
WARNING
No one should remain inside the vehicle if the “Safe” mechanism is acti-
vated because opening the doors will not be possible in case of emergency
neither from the inside nor the outside. Danger of death. Passengers could
become trapped inside in case of emergency.

Using the remote control, press the unlock button on the remote once. The
“Safe” system for all the vehicle is deactivated, only the driver's door is
unlocked and both the alarm and the light indicator are also turned off.
