SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒buttonfig. 13for locking/unlocking the
doors, placed on the central panel;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window break-
ing).
The safe lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattend-
ed.
fig. 13F0Q0641m
Device activation
The device is automatically activated on
every door by pressing twice button
Áon
the key with remote control.
Device activation is signalled by three
flashes of the direction indicators and
flashing of the door-lock button led on the
dashboard (see table on next page).
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the
car from the open door remains blocked
inside the passenger’s compartment when
she/he closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when unlocking the doors;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.
Once the safe lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this rea-
son, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
safe lock device can only be activat-
ed through the metal insert of the key
in the revolving plugs of the doors as
described previously: in this case the
safe lock device is active only on the
rear doors.

ALARM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition
to all remote control functions previous-
ly described and it is controlled by the re-
ceiver located under the dashboard, next
to the fuse box.WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the fol-
lowing cases:❒unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
❒attempt to start the engine (turning the
ignition key to MAR);
❒battery cable cutting;
❒presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric pro-
tection);
❒abnormal raising/sloping of the car. Depending on the markets, the cutting in
of the alarm causes operation of the siren
and direction indicators (for about 26 sec-
onds). The ways of operating and the num-
ber of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protec-
tions may be turned off by operating the
control on the front courtesy light (see
“Volume-sensing/anti-lift protection” para-
graph).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.

protection is turned off, this must be re-
peated whenever the instrument panel is
turned off.INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS

POWER WINDOWS
A safety system is provided that is able to
detect the present of an obstacle when the
window is closing. When this event oc-
curs, the system interrupts and immedi-
ately reverses the window travel.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒ open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
to MAR.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation automat-
ically.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP
or removed, the power windows remain
activated for about 2 minutes and are de-
activated immediately the moment a door
is opened.
The system conforms to the
forthcoming standard 2000/
4/EC concerning the safety of pas-
sengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
IMPORTANT On some versions, when
button Ëon the key with remote control
is pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the
windows open, while when button Áis
pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the
windows are closed.
