Please read the whole of the CHAPTER 1, SAFETY FIRST! before carrying out any work on your car. 
CHAPTER 2 
USING YOUR CAR 
This Chapter is taken from 
FIAT's own official Handbooks 
on the Tipo and Tempra. It 
contains important and 
helpful information for the 
operation of your FIAT Tipo or 
Tempra. 
KEYS AND LOCKS 
• 1. DOORS AMD BONNET 
DOOR LOCKS 
Most FIAT Tipos and Tempras have manual locking. You 
turn the key in the lock in the normal way to lock and 
unlock the door. 
CHILDPROOF LOCKS 
1 A.
 Some models are 
fitted with childproof 
locks. You will find them 
in the ends of the rear 
doors, when open. 
• Place your ignition key in 
notch A, in the end of the 
door, when open. 
• Turn to the right to lock the childproof rear door 
locks; turn to the left to unlock. 
REMOTE LOCKING/UNLOCKING 
1B. A 
directional 
signal is 
emitted 
when you 
press button

remote unit 
(early 
models) or 
on your 
ignition key 
(later 
models). 
IMPORTANT NOTE: The presence of dirt, snow or 
ice on the side windows may prevent operation. 
We recommend that you 
read this chapter 
carefully, so that you will 
become familiar with your 
vehicle's controls and 
instruments. 
Receiving Unit In Car: The receiving unit can store up 
to 6 codes. Tag D, supplied with every receiver, has a 
code number stamped on it. Keep this tag in a safe 
place
 -
 replacements are very expensive. 
To Store the Code of Your Transmitter: 
• Press and hold down button A with a ball-point pen. 
The red LED B illuminates, indicating that the receiving 
unit is ready to store the code. 
• Hold down button C on your remote unit/ignition key. 
• The LED at B turns off, indicating that the receiver has 
stored the code. 
• Release Button A. Red LED B flashes for about 8 
seconds to confirm that the code has been stored. 
If you press button A again within 8 seconds, the red 
LED B illuminates indicating that the receiving unit is 
ready to store another code. Repeat the procedure. 
If you lose a remote unit there are two ways to store a 
new code: 
Using a Remote Unit With Code Already Stored: 
• Press and hold down button A. After about 2 seconds 
red LED B flashes once. 
• Press button C on the remote whose code has been 
stored. Red LED B illuminates. 
• Release button A. Red LED B flashes for 8 seconds 
indicating new code has been stored. 
Manual Operation: Have tag D ready. The four 
numbers stamped on the tag will be used in this 
procedure: 
• Press Button A twice. Red LED B flashes 3 times and 
then turns off for about 2 seconds. 
• When LED B lights up again, press button A the 
number of times indicated by the first code number on 
tag D (if 0 do not press the button). Two seconds after 
pressing button A , LED B will turn off for 2 seconds.  

• Repeat this operation three more times until the 
complete code number has been entered, if the code 
has been entered in correctly LED B will start flashing. 
• Release button A (see illustration
 1B).
 Red LED B 
flashes for 8 seconds indicating the new remote unit's 
code has been stored. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the LED does not illuminate 
when remote unit button (illustration 1B, button 
O is pressed, change the remote unit's battery. 
• Insert the emergency key A into the emergency switch 
slot in the glove compartment turn the key to the left to 
switch the alarm off (see inset). 
• Turn the key back towards its original position to 
switch the alarm system back on. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: As the alarm system absorbs 
energy, if you are not planning on using the car 
for a long period of time, turn the alarm exclusion 
key to the off position, so as not to run the vehicle 
battery down.

Fuses located on the auxiliary panel 
The fuses protecting special devices (options, features of 
special versions or devices with high power require-
ments) are on an auxiliary panel to the side of the fuse 
box under the dashboard. It is much easier to remove 
and replace auxiliary panel fuses if you first remove the 
oddment tray and moulding fastened by 5 screws. The 
panel also houses a number of relays: 
20A Intake manifold heater (petrol engines). 
20A Diesel fuel filter heater (diesel and turbo diesel 
engines). 
20A Headlight washer pump. 
25A Front power windows. 
25A Rear power windows. 
10A Antilock braking system. 
7.5A Low beam headlight dimming system (for countries 
where headlights always need to be on.) 
30A Radiator fan (diesel versions). 
40A Radiator fan (turbo diesel versions with heater). 
60A Radiator fan (turbo diesel versions with air condi-
tioning). 
The arrangement of the fuses on the auxiliary panel 
varies with the number and type of devices present. 
The amperage is clearly marked on each fuse. ALWAYS 
replace a blown fuse with one of the correct amperage. 
NEVER 'fix' a fault by using a fuse of a higher amperage, 
nor 'bridge' a blown fuse
 -
 it could cause a fire! 
7f. When a fuse is 'blown' 
its conductor wire (A) has 
a gap in it. 
If a fuse blows, find out 
why and put it right 
before fitting a new fuse.
