Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie so please go gentle. My apologies if this item has been posted in the wrong place. If it has, I would be grateful if someone could direct me to the best place to post it...

My grandparents have just purchased a basic model 2014 Fiat Panda. The car currently has auto lock enabled which they just aren't getting on with and at 94 years old is becoming a bit of a pain for them.

Is there any way of disabling this function? I have searched the manual high and low and when it does refer to the lock function it simply mentions it in terms of if you already have it set up.

I've obviously searched online, hence finding you guys and tried all of the silly generic turn the key 3 times, jump on one leg then blink twice type nonsense but none of those have worked!

I'm baffled, surely if the manual refers to it being set, you should be able to un-set it?!

Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Laura.
 
If it's the doors locking when the car is in motion, there's a description of how to enable/disable it on pages 12 & 13 of the handbook (download from here if you need it).

The function you need is AUTOCLOSE. It's described in pages 8 to 10 and 12 to 13 of the handbook.

Hi All,

Thanks so much for the info. It seems like the handbook that came with the car is slightly different to the ones you guys have shown me. I'll have a closer look and let you know how I get on. Once again thanks for the help and advice. Laura :)
