2012 FIAT DUCATO open bonnet

There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal
operation.
IMPORTANT The engine lock function is guaranteed by
the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with
the remote control towards the vehicle and press and
release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by an self-
diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by pressing the “release
doors/release load compartment” button, check that the
doors and bonnet are properly closed and turn the
alarm back on by pressing the lock button.ELECTRONIC 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 TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is opened
illegitimately (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition key
rotated to MAR-ON);
❒when the battery cables are cut.
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.

position or extracted, the electric windows remain
activated for about 3 minutes and are then deactivated
immediately when one of the doors is opened.
Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that no-one is exposed
to the risk of being injured either directly by the
moving window or through objects getting
caught and being dragged. When leaving the
vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition
to avoid the risk of injury to anyone remaining
in the car due to accidental operation of the
electric windows.

and that the lock is engaged. If you notice
whilst driving that the lock is not perfectly
engaged, stop at once and close the bonnet
properly.
