REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL COVER

SAFE LOCK DEVICE(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒door locking/unlocking button fig. 13 on the
central trim;
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 safe lock device therefore offers the best
possible protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
If the key with remote control battery
is flat , the system can be engaged by
using the metal insert in the door catch as
described previously: in this case, the device
only remains active for the rear doors.

Device activation
The system is automatically enabled on all the
doors by pressing button
twice on the key with
remote control.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and a flash of the LED on the
door locking button on the dashboard (see table on
next page).
If one or more of the doors is not closed correctly,
the safe 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
in the following cases:
❒unlocking the doors;
❒turning the ignition key to the MAR-ON position.

ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control
functions described previously, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the
fuse box.
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❒when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened illegally (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition
key turned to MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery leads;
❒movement inside the passenger compartment
(volume sensing protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.Depending on the market, the activation of the
alarm causes the activation of the siren and the
direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm
tripping and the number of cycles depend on the
sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be
excluded by adjusting the dedicated control on
the front roof light (see “Volume sensing/Anti-lift
protection”).
IMPORTANT The engine stop function is
guaranteed by the Fiat CODE which is
automatically activated when the key is extracted
from the ignition switch.
