Safety
●
The side and hea d airb
ags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation of
the side and curtain (head) airbags neither
the doors nor the door panels should be
modified in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeak-
ers). If the front door is damaged, the airbag
system may not work correctly. All work car-
ried out on the front door must be done in a
specialised workshop.
● In a side-on collision the side airbags will
not work if
the sensors do not correctly meas-
ure the pressure increase on the interior of
the doors, due to air escaping through the
areas with holes or openings in the door pan-
el.
● Never drive if the interior door panels have
been removed or if
the panels have not been
correctly fitted.
● Never drive the vehicle if the loudspeakers
in the door panels h
ave been removed, un-
less the holes left by the loudspeakers have
been closed properly.
● Always check that the openings are closed
or cover
ed if additional loudspeakers or other
equipment are fitted inside the door panels.
● Any work carried out to the doors should be
made in an authorised s
pecialised workshop.Curtain airbags*

The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-

● Do not obstruct the head-protection airbag

eas.
● Never secure objects over the curtain air-
bag cov
er or in its deployment area.
● Occupants of the front seats and rear side
seats mu
st never carry any other people, ani-
mals or objects in the deployment space be-
tween them and the airbags. Make sure that
all the vehicle occupants, including children,
observe this.
● The clothes hangers are intended only for
light articl
es of clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
● Do not mount accessories on the doors.
● Use only sun blinds which have been ex-
press
ly approved for use in your vehicle.

Operation
“Safe” security system** This is an anti-theft device which consists of
a double loc
k
for the door locks and a deacti-
vation function for the boot in order to pre-
vent forced entry.
Activation
The “safe” system is activated when the vehi-
cle is locked using the key or the remote con-
trol.
To activate it with the key, rotate once it is in-
serted in the door lock cylinder in the locking
direction.
To activate the system using the remote con-
trol, press the lock button once  on the re-
mot e.
Onc e thi s

system is activated, opening doors
from the outside and the inside is not possi-
ble. The rear lid can not be opened. The cen-
tral lock button does not work.
When the ignition is switched off, the instru-
ment panel display indicates that the “Safe”
system is on.
Deactivation

terior.
See “Selective unlocking system*”
“Safe” status
On the driver door, there is warning lamp visi-
ble from outside the vehicle through the win-
dow which shows the “Safe” system status.
We will know that “Safe” system is activated
by the flashing warning lamp. The indicator
will flash on all vehicles, fitted and nor fitted
with an alarm, until they unlock.
Remember:
Safe activated with or without an alarm:
warning lamp flashes continuously.
Safe deactivated without an alarm: the warn-
ing lamp stays off.
Safe deactivated with an alarm: the warning
lamp stays off. WARNING
No one should remain inside the vehicle if the
“Safe” sys t

em is activated because opening
the doors will not be possible in the event of
an emergency neither from the inside nor the
outside and help from the outside is made difficult. Danger of death. Passengers could
become trap
ped in

side in case of emergency. Selective unlocking system*
This system allows to unlock either just the
driver door or all

The central lock button allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central lock button also works with the
ignition switched off, except when the “safe”
system is activated.
Please note the following if you lock your ve-
hicle with the central lock button:
● Locking the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
cess
from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This av
oids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle. ●
All door
s can be unlocked separately from
inside the vehicle. Do this by pulling the door
release lever once. WARNING
● If the v ehic

le is locked, children and disa-
bled people may be trapped inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will
prevent the c
entral lock button from working
for a few seconds. Then, it can only be un-
locked in case it has been previously locked.
After few seconds, the central locking be-
comes operative again.
● The central lock button is not operative
when the vehicl
e is locked from the outside
(with the remote control or the key). Note
● Vehicl e loc

ked,  button.
● Vehicle unlocked,  button. Childproof lock

If you need a replacement key, go to a Techni-
cal Service with your vehicle identification
number. WARNING
● An incorrect u

se of the keys can cause seri-
ous injuries.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehicl
e. In case of emergency, they may
not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on
their own.
● An uncontrolled use of the key could start
the engine or activate an
y electric equipment
(e.g. electric windows), causing risk of acci-
dent. The doors can be locked using the re-
mote control key. This could become an ob-
stacle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
● Never forget the keys inside the vehicle. An
unauthorised u
se of your vehicle could result
in injury, damage or theft. Therefore always
take the key with you when you leave the ve-
hicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicl
e is in motion. Otherwise, the steer-
ing could suddenly block and it would be im-
possible to steer the vehicle. CAUTION
There are electronic components in the re-
mote contr o

l key. Avoid wetting and hitting
the keys. 111
