ANTI-PINCH SAFETY SYSTEM
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety sys-
tem capable of detecting the presence of
an obstacle whilst the roof is closing; when
this happens, the system stops and the
movement of the glass is immediately re-
versed.

disconnecting the battery or if the rele-
vant protection fuse is blown.

tion;

roof closes in stages;
❒after full closing, wait for sunroof’s elec-
tric motor to stop.When leaving the car, always remove the
key from the ignition to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the
sunroof. Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that no-one is exposed to
the risk of being injured by the moving
sunroof or by objects getting caught and
dragged by it.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch fails, the sun roof can be
moved manually as follows:

between the two shutters;
❒take the Allen key (provided as stan-
dard) from the toolbox in the boot;

Following the locking of the doors using:
❒remote control;
❒door catch;
it will not be possible to unlock them by
pressing button
A-fig. 72located on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking on,
pulling the internal handle of one of the
front doors will unlock that door. Indi-
vidual doors can be unlocked by pulling
the internal handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-
ever, possible to lock the doors manually.
After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, all
doors will be centrally locked automati-
cally if the setup menu function has been
selected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-
play” in this section).
Once the dead lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to
open the doors from inside the vehi-
cle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote
control battery is flat, the system can
be disengaged only by inserting the
key in either of the door locks as de-
scribed previously: in this case the de-
vice remains active only for the rear
doors. DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger com-
partment if there has been a break-in at-
tempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the
best possible protection against break-in
attempts. We recommend engaging it
whenever the vehicle is parked and left un-
attended.Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door by briefly pressing
the remote control button
Áfig. 70twice.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes
of the direction indicators and a flash of
the LED on button
A-fig. 72on the dash-
board.
If one or more of the doors is not closed
correctly, the dead lock device will not ac-
tivate, thus preventing a person from get-
ting stuck inside the passenger compart-
ment by entering the car through, and
then closing, the open door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled 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;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.
