Abarth 500e - Sentry Key; Alarm

25
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® system prevents
unauthorised use of the car preventing
to start the motor.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the car's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to
ENGINE, the Sentry Key® system
identifies the code transmitted by the
key. If the code is recognised as valid,
the Sentry Key® system enables
motor starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Sentry Key®
system deactivates the control unit
controlling the motor, thus preventing
its starting.
For the correct motor starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the motor" chapter in the
"Starting and driving" section.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the icon is
displayed on the instrument panel
(see the instructions in the "Warning
lights and messages" chapter in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
section). This condition leads to the
engine switching off after 2 seconds. In
this case, bring the ignition device to
STOP and ENGINE; if it is still blocked,
try with the other keys provided. If it
is still not possible to start the engine,
contact a Dealership.
If the icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the display persists, contact a
Dealership.
ALARM
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm goes off in the following
cases:
wrongful opening of
doors/bonnet/boot (perimeter
protection);
operation of starting device with a
key which is not validated.

and the direction indicators.
WARNING The immobilizer function is
provided by the Sentry Key®system,
which is automatically activated when
you get out of the car taking the
electronic key with you and locking the
doors.

meet requirements in various countries.
SWITCHING ON THE

The system emits a visual and acoustic
warning (where provided) and enables
door locking.
The activation of the alarm is preceded
by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is
detected, the system emits a further
acoustic warning.
If, after the alarm is switched on, a
second acoustic warning is emitted,
wait about 4 seconds and switch off
the alarm by pressing the button ,
check that the doors, bonnet and boot
are closed correctly and then reactivate
the system by pressing the button .
If the alarm emits an acoustic warning
even when the doors, bonnet and boot
are correctly closed, an anomaly has
occurred in system operation: in this
case, contact a Dealership.
