Disabling; Doors; Manual Locking/Unlocking - Fiat 500X 2018 Owner's Manual

30 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
• The vehicle security alarm remains armed during lift-
gate entry. If someone enters the vehicle through the
liftgate and opens any door, the alarm will sound.
• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle
security alarm will arm, regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the exterior
lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.

Disabling

To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case of long
inactivity of the car), lock the doors by turning the vehicle
key in the exterior door lock cylinder.
NOTE: If the batteries in the key fob discharge in the event
of a failure to the system or to switch off the alarm, place
the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

DOORS

Manual Locking/Unlocking

To lock each door from the inside, rotate the door lock
button on each door trim panel forward. To unlock the
doors from the inside, pull the inside door handle to the
first detent or rotate the door lock button until the lock
symbol is no longer visible.
If the lock symbol is visible when the door is shut, the door
will lock. Therefore, make sure the key fob is not inside the
vehicle before closing the door.
