IMPORTANT With central locking on, pulling the
internal handle of one of the front doors will unlock that
door. Individual doors can be unlocked by pulling the
opening handle of one of the rear doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is, however, possible to lock the
doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors will be locked
automatically if the setup menu function has been
selected (see “Reconfigurable multifunction display”
paragraph in this section).
Once the dead lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is no-one left
inside. If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can only be disengaged by using the key
metal insert in either of the door locks.
WARNING
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 69;
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 when pressing the remote control button Ábriefly
twice, fig. 67.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and the flashing of the LED in
button A – fig. 69 located in the dashboard controls.
If one or both doors are not closed correctly, the dead
lock device will not activate, thus preventing a person
from getting stuck inside the passenger compartment by
entering the car through, and then closing, the open
door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒opening the driver’s door using the mechanical key;
❒unlocking doors using the remote control;
❒turning the ignition key to the MAR position.
