DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
After locking doors by:
❒remote control;
❒door revolving plug;
it will not be possible to unlock the doors
by pressing button
A-fig. 72set on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking system
on, pulling the internal door handle of one
of the front doors will unlock that door.
Pulling the internal door handle of one of the
rear doors will unlock the relevant door.
Lacking power (blown fuse, battery discon-
nected, etc.) it is however possible to lock
the doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h speed, doors will
be locked automatically if the set up menu
function has been selected (see paragraph
“Multifunction display” in this section).
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger’s compartment in any way what-
soever. For this reason, make sure
there are no person left inside the car.
If the battery of the key with remote
control is down, the dead lock device
can be deactivated only by fitting the
metal insert of the key in both front
door revolving plugs as described pre-
viously. DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g.: window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattended.Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door when pressing twice
briefly the remote control button
Á,
fig. 70.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashing
of direction indicators and flashing of the
button led A-fig. 72located on the dash-
board.
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the car
from the open door remains blocked inside
the passenger’s compartment when she/he
closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when opening the driver’s door using the
key without remote control;
❒when unlocking doors using the remote
control;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb. For the location of fus-
es, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this section;
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Abarth Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press
the bulb and turn it counter-clock-
wise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.

IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A- fig. 31must be intact. If not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).
Bundamaged fuse fig. 31
Cfuse with damaged filament fig. 31.
fig. 31F0M0236m
Never change a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating, DANGER OF FIRE.
WARNING
Never replace a broken fuse
with anything other than a
new fuse.
If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
Before changing a fuse,
check the ignition key has
been removed and that all the other
electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.
