DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents 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).
Dead lock 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 dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the system
please therefore check that there is no one left
on board.
WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat , the
system can be engaged by inser ting
the metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only remains
active for the rear doors.Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors
by pressing button
twice on the key with remote
control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know
that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the
dead lock device will not be activated, thus
preventing a person getting into the car through the
open door and, on shutting, it, remaining stuck
inside the passenger compartment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
by unlocking the doors;
by turning the ignition key to the ON position.

ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the previously described
remote control functions, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse
box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
unauthorised opening of a door, the bonnet, the
tailgate or a sliding side door (if present)
(perimeter protection)
unauthorized operation of the starting device (key
turned on using a key that is not enabled)
cutting of the battery leads
moving presence inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric 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 are a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
Volumetric and antilifting protections are disabled by
pressing the control button installed on the front
dashboard (see paragraph "Antilift protections).IMPORTANT The engine immobilizer function is
ensured by the Fiat CODE which is automatically
activated when the key is extracted from the ignition.

key either turned to STOP or removed, point the
key with the remote control towards the vehicle and
press and release button
.
Except for some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the turning on of the
alarm: if a fault is detected, the system produces
another acoustic signal.
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
.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly shut, it will
be excluded from the testing by the alarm system.
A fault has occurred in system operation if the alarm
produces an acoustic signal even when the doors,
bonnet and boot are correctly closed. 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 configured to comply with
the regulations existing in different countries.
