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.

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

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.

TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate closed and the
ignition key either turned to STOP or removed,
point the key with remote control towards the
vehicle and press and release button
.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic signal (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the
system emits a new acoustic signal together with
the display of a message (see “Warning lights and
messages” chapter).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
,
check that all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are
closed correctly; then switch the alarm back on by
pressing the
button.If a door, the bonnet and the tailgate are not
properly shut, they will be excluded from the check
by the alarm system.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a
failure has occurred in system operation.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come on when
the central locking is activated using the metal
insert in the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet
requirements in various countries.
