Child protection helps prevent doors
from being opened accidentally,
especially when small children are in the
rear seat.
A lever is provided on each rear door. If
the lever is set to the locked position,
the rear door cannot be opened using
the inside handle.
To open the rear door while the child
protection is in use, pull the outside
door handle. If the lever is set to the
“Unlock” position, the child protection
mechanism does not function.

2 — Undo the link or wire (1) on one
side while aligning the hole in the link or
wire with the hook (2).

27)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.
28)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.
29)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
30)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS
