Ignition Device - Alfa Romeo MiTo 2016 Owner's Handbook Manual

SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of the interior door handles and the door
locking/unlocking button. We recommend
that you activate this device each time
you park your car.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by
pressing the button on the key twice
quickly. Device activation is indicated by
3 flashes of the direction indicators and a
flash of the LED on the button
dashboard. The device does not come on
if one or more doors is not properly shut.
Deactivating the device
The device disengages automatically:
the key insert is turned to opening
position in the driver side door;
by pressing the button on the key;
by turning the ignition key to the MAR
position.
IMPORTANT Once the safe lock system
is engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the car. Therefore,
before getting out of the car check that
there is no one left on board. If the
remote control battery is flat, the device
can only be deactivated by using the
metal insert in one of the door locks.
WARNING

from your body, especially your eyes and
from objects which could get damaged (e.g.
your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
