latter will be temporarily disabled only
for the boot area. After closing the boot,
the alarm system will be reactivated
again.
NOTE Ensure that you always have the
electronic key with you (e.g. in your
pocket) so that the system recognises it
and lets you enter the passenger
compartment and start the engine.
Driver side door emergency opening
If the electronic key does not work (e.g.
because its battery does not workanymore, or the vehicle battery is flat),
the emergency metal insert, located
inside the key, can be used to unlock the
driver side door lock.
Removing the metal insert: operate on
device A fig. 12 and extract the metal
insert B pulling it outwards. Then fit the

again using the door handle. It is
therefore possible to check whether
the vehicle is locked correctly by
pulling the door handle within
2 seconds; the doors will not be
unlocked again.
IMPORTANT Do not simultaneously

WARNING
8)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that
children can access easily. Children may
seriously, or even fatally, injure
themselves. Also ensure that children do
not inadvertently operate the electric
parking brake, the brake pedal or the
automatic transmission lever.
9)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
10)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.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery
in the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the car. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this occurs,
the system stops the window's movement
and reverts it by a few centimetres,
depending on its position.
The anti-crush safety function isactivated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.

may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers are
not at risk from the moving glass either by
personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
