DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This safety device inhibits the
operation of:
❒interior handles
locking/unlocking button A fig. 107
107F1A0303
108F1A0116
73
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.

Device activation
The dead lock device is
automatically activated on every
door with two short presses on the
button
on the key with remote

Device activation is indicated by 3
flashes of the direction indicators
and a flash of the LED on button A
fig. 107 on the dashboard.If one or more 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.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled
automatically on every door in the
following cases:❒if the mechanical key is turned to the
opening position in the driver's door;
❒by unlocking the doors using the
remote control;
❒by turning the ignition key to the
MAR-ON position.

WARNING
34) 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 be
disengaged only by inserting
the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described
previously: in this case the device
remains active only for the rear
doors.
35) Before leaving the vehicle
parked with sliding doors open,
always check that the latch is
engaged.
36) Do not move the vehicle with
side doors open.37) Before setting off after parking
or before moving the vehicle in
any way, ensure that the
footboard is fully stowed away. As
the movement of the platform is
linked to that of the sliding side
door, thewarning light in the
instrument panel comes on if it is
not fully retracted in the same
way as when the rear doors are
not shut.
38) This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were
designed for optimum comfort.
Accidental knocks or a strong
gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
39) With the doors opened to 180
degrees, no locking system is
effective. Do not use this opening
with the vehicle parked on a
gradient or when it is windy.
40) It is forbidden to drive the
vehicle with the footboard open.
41) Do not use the retracted
footboard for getting up or down
the load compartment.42) Make sure that the footboard is
suitably locked by the provided
retaining systems before, after
and during its use. An incomplete
opening or closing might cause
an improper movement of the
footboard with risks arising for the
operator and external users.
43) The footboard lightly projects
from the vehicle even if retracted;
therefore, when rear parking
sensors are provided, their
operating range is lightly reduced.
IMPORTANT
5) The footboard presence may
reduce the ramp approach angles;
it is therefore recommended, in
case of a very steep ramp, to
be very careful in order not to
damage the footboard.
