Following the locking of the doors using:
❒remote control;
❒door catch;
it will not be possible to unlock them by
pressing button
A-fig. 72located on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking on,
pulling the internal handle of one of the
front doors will unlock that door. Indi-
vidual doors can be unlocked by pulling
the internal handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-
ever, possible to lock the doors manually.
After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, all
doors will be centrally locked automati-
cally if the setup menu function has been
selected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-
play” in this section).
Once the dead lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to
open the doors from inside the vehi-
cle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote
control battery is flat, the system can
be disengaged only by inserting the
key in either of the door locks as de-
scribed previously: in this case the de-
vice remains active only for the rear
doors.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking button
A-fig. 72;
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger com-
partment if there has been a break-in at-
tempt (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 un-
attended. Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door by briefly pressing
the remote control button
Áfig. 70
twice.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes
of the direction indicators and a flash of
the LED on button
A-fig. 72on the dash-
board.
If one or more of the doors is not closed
correctly, the dead lock device will not ac-
tivate, thus preventing a person from get-
ting stuck inside the passenger compart-
ment by entering the car through, and
then closing, the open door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when opening the driver’s door using the key without remote control;
❒when unlocking doors using the remotecontrol;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.

BOOT
OPENING THE BOOT
Press the button A-fig. 77.
The boot can also be opened by pressing
button
Ron the remote control fig. 78.
The direction indicators will blink twice
when the tailgate is opened using the re-
mote control. CLOSING THE BOOT

OPENING THE BOOT
IN AN EMERGENCY fig. 80
To open the boot from the passenger’s
compartment if the car battery is flat or
the electric lock of the rear door is faulty,
proceed as follows:
fig. 78F0M0425m
fig. 79F0M0094m
Putting additional objects on-
to the parcel shelf or rear
door (speakers, spoiler, etc.),
except when approved by the
manufacturer, can affect the correct
operation of the side gas shock ab-
sorbers of the rear door itself.
When using the boot, never
exceed the maximum ad-
missible loads (see section “Technical
specifications”). Make sure that the
objects are well arranged in the boot
so that they will not be projected for-
wards following sudden braking, caus-
ing injury to passengers.
WARNING
When travelling, do not put
any object on the parcel
shelf because they can injure passen-
gers in the event of an accident or
sudden braking.

GEAR SHIFT
INDICATOR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator)
advises the driver to change gear via a sig-
nal on the instrument panel (see fig. 108).
Through the GSI, where provided, the dri-
ver is advised that changing gear will re-
duce fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
cutting fuel consumption, it is recom-
mended to follow the suggestions of the
Gear Shift Indicator. When the SHIFT UP icon (
NSHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is advising
the driver to select a higher gear, while
the SHIFT DOWN icon (
OSHIFT) sug-
gests a lower gear should be engaged.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and, if pos- sible, well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is engaged;
❒disconnect the clip for the negative bat-tery terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge the
battery if the indicator is dark and the
middle area is not green;
❒clean and protect the painted parts us-ing protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal partsusing special compounds readily avail-
able;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubberwindscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒open the windows slightly;
❒cover the car with a fabric or perfo-rated plastic sheet. Do not use compact
plastic sheets which do not allow hu-
midity to evaporate from the surface of
the car;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 barabove the normal specified pressure
and check regularly;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery fromthe electrical system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the in-
dicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted – do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pave-
ments and also avoid driving
for long distances on roads
not covered with snow to avoid dam-
aging the car and the road surface.
