Operating Principle; Functioning Defects - Fiat TALENTO Owner's Handbook Manual

47

Operating principle

After starting the vehicle, the system
automatically locks the doors as soon
as you are going faster than about
7 km/h.
Unlocking happens when:
you press button 1 fig. 47 to open
the doors;
the vehicle is stopped, and you open
a front door.
NOTE that if a door is opened then
closed, it will be locked again
automatically when you go faster than
7 km/h.

Functioning defects

If you notice a malfunction (the
automatic locking does not work) first of
all check that all the opening door parts
are properly closed. If they are closed
correctly and the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

Also make sure the lock system was
not accidentally disabled.
In case it was disabled, re-enable it
after disconnecting and reconnecting
the starter device.
WARNING
3) For safety reasons, make sure all the
T36595
doors are well closed before setting out.
4) Never leave the vehicle with the remote
or electronic key inside.
5) For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6) NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it 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 parking brake or the brake pedal.
7) Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8) Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.
9) You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10) Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11) Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12) Always use this device when carrying
children.
13) The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14) When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15) In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16) When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.
