The device disengages automatically by:
❍opening the driver’s door using the metal insert;
❍pressing the
Ëbutton on the remote control;
❍turning the ignition key to the MAR position
ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control functions
described previously, is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❍when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened il-
legally (perimeter protection);
❍when the ignition system is operated (ignition key
turned to MAR);
❍cutting of the battery cables;
❍movement inside the passenger compartment (volu-
metric protection);
❍when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction indi-
cators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the
number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal op-
eration.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be ex-
cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
roof light (see “Volumetric/anti-lift protection”).
Once the safe lock device is engaged it is im-
possible to open the doors from inside the
car. Before engaging the device, check that
there is no one left on board. If the remote control
battery is flat, the device can only be disengaged by
using the metal insert in either of the door locks.

48KNOWING YOUR CAR
VOLUMETRIC/ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
To guarantee the correct operation of the protection sys-
tem it is advisable to shut all the side windows and the
sun roof (for versions/markets where provided).
If necessary, the function can be turned off (if, for ex-
ample, you are leaving an animal in the car) by pressing
button A-fig. 14, located in the front courtesy light, be-
fore activating the alarm itself.
When the function is disabled, this is indicated by the
LED on the button flashing for several seconds. Any dis-
abling of the volume sensing/anti-lift protection must be
repeated each time the instrument panel is switched off.
BREAK IN ATTEMPT INDICATION
Any break in attempt is indicated by the
Ywarning light
(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together with
a message shown in the display (see “Instrument panel
warning lights” chapter).DISABLING THE ALARM
To turn the alarm off completely (for example, if the ve-
hicle is not being used for a long time) the vehicle must
be closed by turning the metal insert in the key in the lock
without using the remote control.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote
control runs out or the system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. However, it is better not to use the function for
long periods, particularly if there are many people on
board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
D. Air recirculation on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
F Heated rear window activation/deactivation button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button
is lit up. In order to maintain battery efficiency, the

On the roof light, some bulbs light the car interior when
the main beam headlamps or dipped headlamps are on.
IMPORTANT The roof light in fig. 32, for some versions,
may also be in a rear central position (electric sun roof
version).
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure
that both switches are in the middle position; when the
doors are closed, the lights switch off preventing a pos-
sible battery discharging. In any case, if the switch is left
in on position, the roof light switches off automatically
15 minutes after the engine switching off.
Courtesy light timing
To make getting in and out the vehicle easier, especially
at nighttime or in poorly lit areas, two timing logics are
available.
Timing while getting into the vehicle
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❍for around 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
❍for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❍for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition is
turned to “MAR”.Timing while getting out of the vehicle
After removing the key from the ignition, the courtesy
lights switch on according to the following modes:
❍within 2 minutes of the engine being switched off for
a period of about 10 seconds;
❍when one of the side doors is opened for a period
of about 3 minutes;
❍when one of the doors is closed for a period of about
10 seconds;
❍if the fuel cut off switch operates, they remain on for
about 15 minutes, then they switch off automatically.
Door locking switches the lights off immediately (unless
the fuel cut off switch is operating).
