SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒ door locking/unlocking button on the central trim
fig. 11;
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
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.
If one or more of the doors is not closed correctly,
the dead 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.
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.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒ unlocking the doors;
❒ by 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.
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.

TURNING THE ALARM OFF
Press button
on the key with remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding
some versions for specific markets):
❒ direction indicators flash twice;
❒ there are two short acoustic signals (beeps);
❒ doors are unlocked.

the central opening is activated using the metal insert
in the key.
VOLUME SENSING/ANTI-LIFT
PROTECTION
To guarantee the correct operation of the protection
system it is advisable to shut all the side windows
and the sun roof (for versions/markets, where
provided).
If necessary, the function can be turned off (if, for
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
