8)Once the Dead Lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the vehicle, please therefore
check that there is no-one left on board.
9)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, nor leave the vehicle 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.
10)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock
on both rear doors, check for proper
engagement by trying to open a rear door
with the internal handle.

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.
Once it has been left inside, the key can be
collected only using the second key
supplied.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 vehicle.
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).

PROTECTION
SYSTEMSThe most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprises the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".
SEAT BELTSAll vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due
to an impact. This allows the belt strap
to slide freely and to adapt to the body
of the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock reducing the
risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.USING THE SEAT BELTSThe seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 63 and insert it into buckle B, until
it clicks into place.
On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.
