The front door lock motors are operated simultaneously by using:

• the key;

• the remote control;

• the specific buttons located inside the vehicle.

The remote control unit has two buttons that allow the control of the central locking system: a release button and a door locking button.

To lock the doors from the outside, with the doors closed, press the special button in the remote control or insert the key in the driver's door lock and turn it clockwise.

If one or more of the doors is open after the button on the remote control is pressed, the direction indicators and the LED in the button will flash quickly for around three seconds.

The door locking action (with remote-control key) is accompanied by one flash of the direction indicators.

To unlock the doors from the outside, press the special button in the remote control (with the consequent timed activation of the interior courtesy light and the double signal from the direction indicators) or insert the key in the driver's door lock and turn it anti-clockwise.

The door unlocking action (with remote-control key) is accompanied by two flashes of the direction indicators.

The doors can also be locked / unlocked from the inside using the two buttons in the centre control panel.

The LED in the locking button coming on signals the doors locked status.

If the dedicated function is selected using the Set up menu, the central locking of the doors takes place automatically when a speed of 20 km/h is exceeded.

If one or more doors are open, the instrument panel activates an internal warning sound once the vehicle exceeds a speed of 4 km/h.

After locking the doors using the remote control or the door latch (from the outside), the button located in the dashboard cannot be used to unlock them.

The vehicle may also be equipped with a dead lock safety device which inhibits the operation of:

• interior handles;

• door locking/unlocking buttons in the dashboard.

In this way the opening of the doors from inside the passenger compartment is prevented if there has been a break in attempt (for example, a window being broken).

To turn the device on, press the door locking button in the key remote control twice in quick succession.

The direction indicators flash 3 times and the LED in the door locking button in the dashboard controls flashes to indicate that the device has been turned on.

The device does not come on if one or more doors is not properly shut.

The system is disabled automatically on every door in the following cases:

• if the mechanical key is turned to the opening position in the driver's door;

• by unlocking the doors using the remote control;

• by turning the ignition key to the MAR-ON position.

The vehicle is also equipped with a safety switch which, in the case of a serious impact, cuts off the flow of fuel to the engine (inertia switch).

When the inertia switch is operated, all the vehicle doors are automatically unlocked.

The central locking motors are operated by a series of relays built into the Body Computer that allow the polarisation of the motors to be changed according to the locking/unlocking commands requested by the user. Their power supply line is protected by a fuse located in the Body Computer.

In a situation where one or more doors are open, this is shown by the message in the instrument panel display and a special warning light coming on. This situation will continue until all the doors are completely closed.
