2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo child lock

Press button B fig. 16 only with the key away from your
body, especially your eyes and from objects which could
get damaged (e.g. your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to avoid the button being accidentally pressed while it is
being handled, e.g. by a child.
Unlocking the doors and the tailgate
Briefly press button
: for unlocking of doors and luggage
compartment, timed switching-on of internal roof lights and double
flashing of direction indicators (for versions/markets, where provided).
The doors are unlocked automatically if the fuel cut-off system
intervenes.
Once the doors are locked, if one or more doors or the boot are not
closed correctly, the LED and direction indicators start flashing quickly.
Locking the doors and the tailgate
Briefly press button: for locking of doors and luggage
compartment, with switching-off of roof light and single flashing of
direction indicators (for versions/markets, where provided).
If one or more doors are open, the doors will not be locked. This is
indicated by a rapid flashing of the direction indicators (for
versions/markets, where provided). If the luggage compartment is
open, the doors will, however, be locked.
When a speed of over 20 km/h is reached, the doors are
automatically locked if this specific function has been set (only on
versions with multifunction reconfigurable display).When the doors are locked, LED A fig. 17 switches on for a few
seconds after which it starts to flash (deterrent function).
When the doors are locked from inside the car (by pressing the
button) the LED will remain on constantly.
Opening the luggage compartment
Press the
button to open the luggage compartment remotely. The
direction indicators will flash twice to indicate that the boot has been
opened.
REQUESTING ADDITIONAL REMOTE
CONTROLSThe system can recognise up to 8 remote controls. If you need to
request a new remote control, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services,
taking the CODE Card (for versions/markets, where provided), an
identity document and documents proving ownership of the car with
you.

IGNITION DEVICEThe key can be turned to three different positions fig. 21:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are enabled;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system that requires the
ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start,
before the starting operation can be repeated.
If the ignition switch is tampered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services before driving again.
Always remove the key when you leave the car to
prevent someone from accidentally operating the
controls. Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
1
stgear if the car is parked uphill or reverse if the car is parked
downhill. Never leave children unattended in the car.
STEERING LOCKEngagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly and turn the ignition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with
type-approval requirements.Never remove the key while the car is moving. The
steering wheel will lock as soon as it is turned. This
holds true for cars being towed as well.

STOPPING THE ENGINETurn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a demanding drive, before turning the engine off
you should allow it to idle to allow the temperature in the engine
compartment to decrease.
A quick burst on the accelerator before stopping the engine
serves absolutely no practical purpose. It wastes fuel and
is especially damaging to turbocharged engines.
PARKINGSwitch off the engine and pull up the handbrake. Engage a gear (1
stif
the car is facing uphill or reverse if it is facing downhill) and leave
the wheels steered to one side.
If the car is parked on a steep slope block the wheels with a wedge or
stone. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the car.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always
remove the key from the ignition when leaving the car
and take it with you.
HANDBRAKETo engage the handbrake pull lever A fig. 109 upwards until the car is
secured. To release the handbrake, raise lever A slightly, hold down
button B and lower the lever.
