2012 Abarth Punto fuse

INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
After the battery has been disconnected or a fuse has
blown, the operation of the sliding roof must be
initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 65 in closing position;
❒ hold the button down so that the sunroof closes in
stages;
❒ after complete closure, wait for sunroof’s electric
motor to stop.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from
the ignition to avoid the risk of injury to those still
inside the car due to accidental operation of the
sunroof. Improper use of the roof can be dangerous.
Before and during operation, always check that no-one
is exposed to the risk of being injured by the moving
sunroof or by objects getting caught or hit by it.

shutters;
❒ take the Allen key (provided as standard) from the
toolbox in the boot;

IMPORTANT With central locking on, pulling the
internal handle of one of the front doors will unlock that
door. Individual doors can be unlocked by pulling the
opening handle of one of the rear doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is, however, possible to lock the
doors manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors will be locked
automatically if the setup menu function has been
selected (see “Reconfigurable multifunction display”
paragraph in this section).
Once the dead lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is no-one left
inside. If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can only be disengaged by using the key
metal insert in either of the door locks.
WARNING
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒ internal handles;
❒ locking/unlocking button A-fig. 69;
thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in
attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left
unattended.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a
device does not work: the filament A-fig. 155 must be
intact. If it is, replace the blown fuse with another with
the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse;
C fuse with damaged filament.
