Vehicle Security Alarm - If Equipped; To Arm The System - Fiat 500L 2014 Owner's Manual

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle
Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.

To Arm The System

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get out
of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the Central Lock/Unlock
switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and close all doors.

3. The horn will sound and the Vehicle Security Light in
the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for approxi-
mately 16 seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN, or
the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
After approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle Security
Light will flash slowly. This shows that the Vehicle
Security Alarm is fully armed.
The activation of the Vehicle Security Alarm is followed
by a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is detected during the
self-diagnosis stage, the horn will sound a second time.
If the horn sounds a second time, check that all doors,
hood and liftgate are closed correctly, then rearm the
system.
