The LED comes on in the following cases:
❒after each door lock command generated by the
button D or by button
Áin the dashboard;
❒when the instrument panel is activated;
❒upon opening of one of the front doors;
❒when the door is locked at 20 km/h (if activated
from the menu).
The lock is turned off when one of the load
compartment doors is opened or on a door release
request (load compartment or centralised) or an
unlocking request from the remote control/door catch.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking buttons A-B fig. 112;
thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in
attempt (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
unattended.
Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before engaging
the system check that there is no one left inside.
If the remote control battery is flat, the system
can only be disengaged by using the metal insert
in either of the door locks as described
previously: in this case the device only remains
on for the rear doors.
WARNING
Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when pressing the remote control button
Ábriefly
twice, fig. 109.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and the flashing of the LED on
button A-fig. 112 on the dashboard.
If one of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead lock
device will not be activated, thus preventing a person
getting into the car through the open door and, on
shutting it, remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.

MOVING FOOTBOARD fig. 116
(for versions/markets where provided)
When the side door of the passenger compartment or
luggage compartment is opened, a footboard emerges
from the lower part of the floorpan to make it easier to
board the vehicle.
Before setting off after parking or before
moving the vehicle in any way, ensure
that the footboard is fully stowed away.
Because the movement of the footboard is
controlled by that of the sliding side door,
incomplete stowing of the footboard or non-
closure of the rear doors is indicated by
a warning light
´in the instrument panel.
WARNING

❒cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or perforated
plastic sheet. Do not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from evaporating from the
surface of the vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric
system, check its charge every month and recharge it
if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm
system, switch off the vehicle alarm with the remote
control.
LONG VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for longer than
one month, the following precautions must be taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, possibly, well-
ventilated place;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal and check
battery charge. Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge if the optical
indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area (see “Battery recharging” in the section
“Dashboard and controls”); If the vehicle is equipped
with a battery disconnection function (disconnector),
see the description of the procedure in the
“Controls” paragraph in the “Dashboard and
controls” section;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
commercially-available compounds;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off
the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
