Door unlocking in the event
of a crash
In the event of a crash that triggers the fu-
el cut-off switch, the doors will unlock au-
tomatically to enable getting into the car
and at the same time the passenger’s com-
partment lights will turn on. It is howev-
er always possible to open the doors from
the passenger’s compartment by means of
the internal door handles.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks are found and
the car can be started again, reset the fu-
el cut-off switch as specified in the fol-
lowing paragraph. DOOR LOCK fig. 59
To lock all doors at the same time, press
button A, located on the central console
control panel, regardless of the position
of the ignition key.FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence.
This device therefore prevents fuel leaks
due to fuel piping breaking.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the electronic key from the igni-
tion switch to prevent battery run-down.
Fuel cut-off switch activation is indicated
by the message “FPS on” on the digital dis-
play.
On the multifunction display, the message
“Fuel cut-off switch on, see Handbook”
is displayed.
fig. 59F0M0013m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fine risk.
WARNING
If central door locking has
been activated from inside
the car and after a crash the fuel cut-
off switch cannot activate automatic
door unlocking, it will not be possible
to get into the car. In any case, door
opening from the outside depends on
door conditions after the crash: if a
door is badly damaged it will be im-
possible to open it. In this event try to
open one of the other doors.

AND CONTROLS
After locking doors by:
❒remote control;
❒door revolving plug;
it will not be possible to unlock the doors
by pressing button
A-fig. 83set on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking system
on, pulling the internal door handle of one
of the front doors will unlock that door.

Lacking power (blown fuse, battery discon-
nected, etc.) it is however possible to lock
the doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h speed, doors will
be locked automatically if the set up menu
function has been selected (see paragraph
“Multifunction display” in this section).
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger’s compartment in any way what-
soever. For this reason, make sure
there are no person left inside the car.
If the battery of the key with remote
control is down, the dead lock device
can be deactivated only by fitting the
metal insert of the key in both front
door revolving plugs as described pre-
viously: in this case the dead lock de-
vice will stay engaged only on the rear
doors. DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 83;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g.: window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattended.Device activation

tivated on every door when pressing twice
briefly the remote control button
Á, fig.
81.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashing
of direction indicators and flashing of the
button led A-fig. 83located on the dash-
board.
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the car
from the open door remains blocked inside
the passenger’s compartment when she/he
closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated 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 remote
control;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR.
