GENERAL WARNINGS
Area of visibility
The area of visibility may vary according to the vehicle
position (full load condition included), according to the
vehicle specification and according to weather
conditions (high brightness, rain, snow and fog). Visibility
may be reduced during poor lighting or full load
conditions.
The area covered by the TV camera is approximately
3 m in length and approximately a maximum of 5.5 m in
width fig. 107.

Notes on use
To clean the TV camera, it is advisable to use a non-
abrasive cloth when the protective glass is dirty or iced
over (on the outside). It is absolutely necessary to avoid
using any tool for cleaning as this could scratch the glass.
It is also advisable to use a dry non-abrasive cloth when
cleaning the display. The dust that settles on the display
may be removed with special brushes. Avoid using any
detergent for cleaning.
The display glass could break in the event of impact. In
this case, do not touch the liquid crystal that emerges
from the display. If this occurs, quickly wash the
contaminated parts with soap and water.

conditions:
❒An alert message is displayed during the 5 seconds
following reverse engagement.
❒When a speed of approximately 18 km/h is exceeded
and only the activation button is ON, the image
disappears and a message reporting that the system
has gone into stand-by mode is displayed for
approximately 5 seconds.
❒When a speed of approximately 18 km/h is exceeded
and reverse gear is engaged, the image disappears
and an alert message is displayed that remains until
the speed drops to approximately 15 km/h. In this
case, the image is displayed again.
The system makes it possible to change the language in
which the text messages are displayed. For this
selection, with the system deactivated, press the
ON/OFF button and any other button simultaneously
and then select the language by scrolling through the

TACHOGRAPH
For tachograph operation and use, consult the owner
handbook supplied by the device manufacturer.
The tachograph must be installed on the vehicle when
the vehicle weight (with or without trailer) exceeds
3.5 tons.
IMPORTANT Anyone making changes to the
monitoring device or signal transmission system that
affects recording by the monitoring instrument,
particularly if this is done for purposes of fraud, may be
in breach of criminal or administrative state regulations.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is
parked for more than 5 days, it is advisable to
disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its
charge.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use abrasive detergents or solvents to clean the
device. To clean the outside of the device, use a damp
cloth or special products for the care of synthetic
materials.The tachograph is installed and sealed by authorised
personnel: do not try and access the device or the
supply and recording leads in any way. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the vehicle on which the
tachograph is installed to check the device regularly.
The check must be carried out at least every two years
and a test must be carried out to ensure that it is
working properly. Ensure that the data label is renewed
after every check that that the label contains the
specified data.

doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors will be locked
automatically if the setup menu function has been
selected (see “Multifunction display” paragraph in this

The LED comes on in the following cases:
❒after each door lock command generated by the
button D or by button
Áin the dashboard;
❒when the instrument panel is activated;
❒upon opening of one of the front doors;
❒when the door is locked at 20 km/h (if activated
from the menu).
The lock is turned off when one of the load
compartment doors is opened or on a door release
request (load compartment or centralised) or an
unlocking request from the remote control/door catch.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking buttons A-B fig. 112;
thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in
attempt (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
unattended.
Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before engaging
the system check that there is no one left inside.
If the remote control battery is flat, the system
can only be disengaged by using the metal insert
in either of the door locks as described
previously: in this case the device only remains
on for the rear doors.
WARNING
Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when pressing the remote control button
Ábriefly
twice, fig. 109.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and the flashing of the LED on
button A-fig. 112 on the dashboard.
If one of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead lock
device will not be activated, thus preventing a person
getting into the car through the open door and, on
shutting it, remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.
