SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒buttonfig. 13for locking/unlocking the
doors, placed on the central panel;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window break-
ing).
The safe lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattend-
ed.
fig. 13F0Q0641m
Device activation
The device is automatically activated on
every door by pressing twice button
Áon
the key with remote control.
Device activation is signalled by three
flashes of the direction indicators and
flashing of the door-lock button led on the
dashboard (see table on next page).
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 unlocking the doors;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.
Once the safe lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this rea-
son, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
safe lock device can only be activat-
ed through the metal insert of the key
in the revolving plugs of the doors as
described previously: in this case the
safe lock device is active only on the
rear doors.

detect the present of an obstacle when the
window is closing. When this event oc-
curs, the system interrupts and immedi-
ately reverses the window travel.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by

dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒ open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then

activated for about 2 minutes and are de-
activated immediately the moment a door
is opened.
The system conforms to the
