Child Safety Lock - Alfa Romeo 156 Owner's Manual

By pressing the knob (B-fig. 17) on one
of the rear doors only that particular door
will be locked.
WARNING For the front doors it is not
possible to keep the knob (B-fig. 16)
down if the door has not been shut properly.
WARNING The centralized locking sys-
tem can be deactivated, thus unlocking all
doors, by lifting the door opening lever on
one of the two front doors.
If the power supply is interrupted (burnt
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) each door
can be opened manually from both inside
and outside the car.
WARNING The intervention of the in-
ertial fuel cut-off switch causes the automatic
door unlock and inhibits door locking for
about 30 seconds. After this time, door lock-
ing control unit operation is restored.
