Press button
Rto open the tailgate by
remote control even if the alarm (where
provided) is on.
Opening the tailgate is accompanied by the
direction indicators flashing twice; clos-
ing is accompanied by a single flash (only
if the alarm is on).
If the alarm is on, when the tailgate is
opened the alarm system switches off vol-
umetric protection and the tailgate
perimetral protection sensor.
When closing the tailgate again, volumet-
ric and perimetral protection sensors are
restored.
IMPORTANT If the remote control does
not work properly, it is however possi-
ble to open the tailgate through the me-
chanical lever set on the lock inside the
boot (see paragraph “Boot” in this sec-
tion).Leds on the driver’s door fig. 7
When locking the doors, led Aswitches
on for about 3 seconds and than starts
flashing (deterrence function).
Once doors are locked, if one or more
doors or the tailgate are not closed cor-
rectly, the led and direction indicators
start flashing quickly.
Replacing the battery of the key
with remote control fig. 8
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
❒move aside lever Aand take out the
emergency metal insert B;
❒take out the battery case Cusing the
emergency metal insert, move aside
battery Dand replace it making sure
the bias is correct;
❒refit the battery case Cand the emer-
gency metal insert Binside the key.Request for additional remote
controls
The system can recognise up to 8 keys with
incorporated remote control. Should a new
key with remote control be necessary, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership, taking with you the
CODE card and the keys, a personal iden-
tity document and the car’s ownership doc-

ALARM
(where provided)
WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the fol-
lowing cases:
❒unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
❒attempt to start the engine with unau-
thorised key;
❒battery cable cutting;
❒presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric
protection);
❒abnormal raising/sloping of the car.
Depending on the markets, the cutting in
of the alarm causes operation of the siren
and direction indicators (for about 26 sec-
onds). The ways of operating and the num-
ber of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.

ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally. Sideslip angle changes
lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flat-
tening) are not considered).
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button B-fig. 14on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on

During winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Before summer,
have the system checked at a Fiat Deal-
ership.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperature on
the driver’s side and on the passenger’s
side. Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the
system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any vari-
ation of the outside climate conditions, in-
cluding sunshine detected by a proper sen-
sor provided for the purpose.
The system is also fitted with AQS (Air
Quality System) sensor that turns on air
recirculation automatically when it detects
the presence of outside polluted air (for
example when driving in the city, queues
and tunnels).
