Where the function is provided,
grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door or all
doors depending on the mode set

doors and the tailgate. Door locking willactivate the alarm as well (where
provided).
IMPORTANT After pressing the "door
locking" button, you need to wait two
seconds before the doors can be
unlocked again using the door handle.
It is therefore possible to check whether
the vehicle is locked correctly by pulling
the door handle within 2 seconds. The
doors will not be unlocked again.

The device is enabled on all the doors
by pressing the
"FIAT" button on
the key with remote control twice

The fig. 14 device can only be engaged
with the doors open:
11F1B0251C12F1B0020C
13F1B0166C

position: device engaged (door
locked);
position: device not engaged
(door may be opened from the inside).
The device remains engaged even if the
doors are electrically unlocked.
IMPORTANT The rear doors cannot be
opened from the inside when the child
safety device is engaged.
WARNING
8)Once the Dead Lock system is engaged,
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the
car, please therefore check that there is
no-one left inside.9)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the car, let alone leave the car with the
doors unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the electric parking brake, the brake pedal
or the automatic transmission lever.
10)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the car. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.

SWIVEL OPENING
To bring the roof into "swivel" position,
press and release button B fig. 40.
This type of swivel-opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sun roof. When starting with the
roof in closed position, pressing the
button automatically causes its
swivel-opening. If the roof is already
open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the swivel-opening
position.
Pressing button B again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
SUN BLIND MOVEMENT
The blind is manually-operated: it can
be stopped in any position.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun roof can be moved manually,
proceeding as described below:
remove protective cap A fig. 41 on
the internal trim;
take Allen key B provided;
place Allen key B into housing A;
turn Allen key B in a clockwise
direction to open the roof or in an
anticlockwise direction to close it.
INITIALISATION
PROCEDURE
After irregular behaviour of the sun roof
or an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun roof
must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
press button A fig. 40 to bring the
roof into completely closed position;
bring the ignition device to STOP
and wait at least 10 seconds;
bring the ignition device to MAR;
hold button A down for at least
10 seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
within 5 seconds hold button A
down: the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
from the beginning.
WARNING
22)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key (where present) from the
ignition to avoid the risk of injury due to
accidental operation of the sun roof.
Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that no-one is exposed to
the risk of being injured by the moving
sunroof or by objects getting caught or hit
by it.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack
or crossbars are fitted. Do not open the
sun roof if there is snow or ice on it: you
may damage it.
