WARNING
8)Once the Dead Lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the vehicle, please therefore
check that there is no-one left on board.
9)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, nor leave the vehicle with the
doors unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the electric parking brake, the brake pedal
or the automatic transmission lever.
10)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock
on both rear doors, check for proper
engagement by trying to open a rear door
with the internal handle.
WARNING
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle.
Once it has been left inside, the key can be
collected only using the second key
supplied.3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery
in the electronic key and the presence
of metal objects near the key or the vehicle.
In these cases it is still possible to unlock
the doors by using the metal insert in
the electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

31)The Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair
kit, provided with the vehicle, is compatible
with the iTPMS sensors. Using sealants
different from that in the original kit may
compromise its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original ones are used,
it is recommended to have the iTPMS
sensor operation checked by a qualified
repair centre.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMSThe most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprises the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".
SEAT BELTSAll vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due
to an impact. This allows the belt strap
to slide freely and to adapt to the body
of the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock reducing the
risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.USING THE SEAT BELTSThe seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 63 and insert it into buckle B, until
it clicks into place.
On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.

❒"Drive Away Release": the electric
parking brake will automatically
disengage with the driver side seat belt
fastened and the detection of an action
performed by the driver to move the
vehicle (forward gear or reverse gear);
❒"Safe Hold": if the vehicle speed
is lower than 3 km/h and, for the
versions with automatic transmission,
the gear lever is not in P (Park) position
and the driver intention of leaving the
vehicle is detected, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage to
hold the vehicle in safety conditions;
❒"Auto Apply": if the vehicle speed is
lower than 3 km/h, the electric parking
brake will automatically engage with the
gear lever moved to P (Park) position
(versions with automatic transmission),
or with the ignition device at STOP
(versions with manual gearbox). The
LED on the switch turns on together
with the
warning light on the
instrument panel when the parking
brake is engaged and applied to the
wheels. Each automatic parking brake
engagement can be cancelled by
pressing the switch on the central
tunnel and at the same time moving the
gear lever for the automatic
transmission to position P (Park) or the
ignition device to STOP (versions with
manual gearbox).
SAFE HOLDIt is a safety function that automatically
engages
the electric parking brake in
the event of a dangerous condition for
the vehicle.
If:
❒the vehicle speed is below 3 km/h;
❒the gear lever is not at P (Park)
(versions with automatic transmission);
❒the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
❒the driver side door is open;
❒no attempted operation of the brake
pedal or, on versions with manual
gearbox, the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is detected;
the electric parking brake engages
automatically to prevent vehicle
movement.
The Safe Hold function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the
switch located on the central tunnel
and the brake pedal at the same time,
with the vehicle stationary and the
driver side door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h or the ignition device is moved
to STOP and then to MAR.
WARNING
107)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, steer the wheels,
engage the parking brake, the first gear if
uphill and the reverse if downhill; on
versions with automatic transmission, set
the lever to "P". If the vehicle is parked
on a steep slope, you need to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
108)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the key when
leaving the vehicle and take it with you.
109)The electric parking brake must
always be engaged when leaving
the vehicle.
