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).
