2012 Abarth Punto Evo remote start

Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically activated on every
door when pressing the remote control button Ábriefly
twice, fig. 67.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and the flashing of the LED in
button A – fig. 69 located in the dashboard controls.
If one or both doors are not closed correctly, the dead
lock device will not activate, thus preventing a person
from getting stuck inside the passenger compartment by
entering the car through, and then closing, the open
door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒opening the driver’s door using the mechanical key;
❒unlocking doors using the remote control;
❒turning the ignition key to the MAR position.

The boot can be opened by pressing button A-fig. 72.
It can also be opened by pressing button Ron the
remote control fig. 73.
The direction indicators will blink twice when the
tailgate is opened using the remote control.

that they will not be projected forwards
following sudden braking, causing injury to
passengers.

shelf or rear door (speakers, spoiler, etc.),
except when approved by the
manufacturer, can affect the correct operation of
the side gas shock absorbers of the rear door
itself.
