2015 FIAT BRAVO lock

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.
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.

VOLUME SENSING/ANTI-LIFT
PROTECTION
To guarantee the correct operation of the protection

example, you are leaving an animal in the car) by
pressing button A fig. 12, located in the front roof
light, before activating the alarm itself.
When the function is disabled, this is indicated by the
LED on the button flashing for several seconds. Any
disabling of the volume sensing/anti-lift protection
must be repeated each time the instrument panel is
switched off. BREAK-IN ATTEMPT INDICATION
Any break-in attempt is indicated by the warning light
(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together
with a message shown in the display (see “Warning
lights and messages” chapter).
DISABLING THE ALARM
To turn the alarm off completely (for example, if the
vehicle is not being used for a long time), the vehicle
must be closed by turning the metal insert of the
key with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key with remote
control run out or the system fails, the alarm can
be switched off by placing the key in the ignition
switch and turning it to MAR-ON.fig. 12

The fabric upholstery of your car has
been designed to withstand wear deriving
from common use of the car.You are
however recommended to avoid strong and/or
continuous scratching with clothing accessories
such as metal buckles, studs,Velcro fastenings and
the like, as these items cause stress of the cover
fabric that could lead to yarn breaking and
damage the upholstery.Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is locked
on the guides by trying to move it back
and for th. If the seat is not locked into place, it
may unexpectedly slide and cause the driver
to lose control of the car.
HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT
These are height-adjustable and lock into place
automatically.
❒ Upward adjustment: lift the head restraint until it
clicks into place.
❒ Downward adjustment: press button A fig. 18 and
lower the head restraint.
On some versions the front head restraints are
equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head and head
restraint in the event of a rear shunt, thus mitigating
the “whiplash” effect.
The “Anti-Whiplash” type front head restraints may
move when the backrest is pressed by the occupant's
torso or hand. This behaviour is caused by the
system and should not be considered a malfunction.
