DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of:
❒interior handles
locking/unlocking button A fig. 107
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.

flashes of the direction indicators and a
flash of the LED on button A fig. 107
on the dashboard.
If one or more 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.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒if the mechanical key is turned to the

WARNING
54) The ESC system can’t overrule
the natural laws of physics, and
can’t increase the grip available
according to the condition of
the road.55) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
56) The capability of the ESC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way
as to compromise personal safety
and the safety of others.
57) The performance of the ESC and
ASR systems must not encourage
the driver to take unnecessary
risks. Driving style must always be
adapted to road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is,
in any case, responsible for safe
driving.
58) For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly, all four tyres
must be the same brand and type,
must be in excellent condition
and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.
59) The HBA system cannot increase
tyre grip on the road over the
limits imposed by laws of physics:
always drive carefully according
to the conditions of the road
surface.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been
activated and a dedicated message
appears on the display.
When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.
The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel light up).When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore
the two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel switch off
to prevent excessively frequent
warnings while driving in towns or on
winding roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
and
on
the instrument panel switching on
constantly.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
❒the system does not detect any error;
❒calibration in progress;
❒vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
max. vehicle speed;
❒presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both
sides;❒suitable visibility conditions;
❒straight line or wide radius bends;
❒sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
❒direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right
lane exiting direction, right direction
indicator activated);
❒vehicle direction getting constantly
closer to the lane demarcation lines
(the vehicle trajectory is within the
lane demarcation lines);
❒vehicle not constantly next to the lane
demarcation line.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
When the system is active, if the vehicle
gets close to one of the limit lines or
one of the two lane demarcation lines,
the driver is warned with an acoustic
signal (coming from the crossed line
side if the vehicle is equipped with the
radio navigation system) along with
the corresponding direction warning
light (
or
) lighting up.
If the driver turns on the direction
indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch
off the driver warning.
