DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents 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).
Dead lock therefore offers the best possible
protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the system
please therefore check that there is no one left
on board.
WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat , the
system can be engaged by inser ting
the metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only remains
active for the rear doors.Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors
by pressing button
twice on the key with remote
control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know
that the device is active.
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.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
by unlocking the doors;
by turning the ignition key to the ON position.
