(G) Locking - Twice ? Alarm ?

WAS WONDERING - WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, AND THEN CLICK THE LOCK BUTTON AGAIN, IT SORT OF LOCKS A BIT MORE AND THE INDICATORS FLASH TWICE MORE.

I'VE NOT BOTHERED TO CHECK IN MY MANUAL WHAT THIS IS - KEEP FORGETTIN,COULD SOMEONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON THE MATTER ???

CHEERS
BEN

Pretty sure it's deadlocking, so you can't open the car doors from inside if some scumbag smashes a window.
Yep, just checked mine and that is what it is. Seems mine works, that is a novelty.
PS Who says I moan all the time. I have just been helpful to another GPS owner. Need to go and lie down now as the thought of something actually working in my car has made me feel quite faint.

lol, i thought it was if you lock the car and then press the lock button aagain it just checks if it is locked and assures you of this by flashing the lights, learnt somethin new again lol

IT IS DOUBLE LOCKING IT WORKS IN THE SAME WAY AS YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY TURNS OFF

when you press the button twice it disables the inner door catch so if you break the window the door wont open...

you can prove this lock the car with the window open with one press = the door will still open if you pull on the inside lever ,

try it with 2 presses and you wont get in by pulling the lever..

IIRC there is no factory fit alarm on the GP

lol if i was planning to steal a car i wouldn't be fussed about opening a door i'd just smash the window and climb in lol, i think its more for locking the mrs in the car when she decides to have a moan. excellent idea fiat.

lol but you didnt manage to do the whole post without a moan.

All newish cars have em, my 02 corsa did, it just makes thigs a bit harder for theives. When my old car got broken into they were stopped by the deadlock so the tried to wrench the door off by puttin their fingers in the top of the door and putting a foot against the car then pulling hard. Cost me £600 for a new door and head unit (didnt want to lose my no claims) so now i just dont use the deadlocks.

What moan? I am just overcome with emotion that something on my car actually works!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn't want to be in a stolen car with no easy way out if the police tried to stop you unless you have practiced your dukes of hazard method of entry/exit..

of coarse i have, been practising on my GPS, its even the correct colour, just need the stickers now. lol

and the dixxie horn

i used to have one on my fiesta, lol, well loud, lol

AND AT LEAST YOU CAN BE BOTHERED TO READ THE MANUAL!

(B_Cooper,please turn your caps lock off)

T, not sure if you are having a go at me or B_Cooper about reading the manual. Anyway, I can confirm, and if you ask my kids they will agree, my war cry is 'read the instructions'. I kind of remembered from reading the manual that the deadlocking was engaged by pressing button twice, I checked in the car to confirm.
PS. It was by reading the manual at time of purchase of car that I was led to believe that my car's first service was due at 24 months or 18,000 miles. Anyway, don't want to bore everyone again with my story about bad info. given to me by AC prior to sale and reinforced by early service booklet (subsequently changed by Fiat). Enough said, my hackles are rising again!!!!!!!

'well'.....you read the manual which people rarely do thesedays,it answers so many questions that people ask here

(its a compliment)

Before everyone goes running off thinking WOW I have got deadlocks......only the high spec models have them. My Dynamic doesnt have them, but I believe all models above do.
