Do not leave the key inserted in the
switch. Cover the keyhole with the
rubber cap to prevent dust and wa-
ter getting in.
Emergency keys should be left in the
car coupled with the switch.
HOW TO KNOW IF THE
ALARM HAS GONE OFF
After deactivating the system, led A-
fig. 9will indicate the theft attempt
specifying also the cause of the alarm:
fixed light:remote control bat-
tery down
1 blink:right-hand door
2 blinks:left-hand door
5 blinks:volumetric sensors
(indicate a movement
inside the passenger’s
compartment)
6 blinks:bonnet To cut off the alarm before this,
press the remote control button; if
this is unsuccessful, turn the emer-
gency key to OFF(see next paragraph
“How to turn the alarm off”)
HOW TO TURN
THE ALARM OFF
If the remote control batteries run
down, or the car alarm system is
faulty, the electronic alarm can be cut
out by using one of the two emer-
gency keys supplied set on the system
deactivation control unit (that is
housed in the fuse box on the right
side of the dashboard).
To do this, open the fuse box, take
off the switch rubber cap, insert the
key and turn it counterclockwise
(OFFposition); the system is now de-
activated.
To turn the system back on, turn the
key clockwise (ONposition).7 blinks:load
compartment
8 blinks:tampering with
ignition switch
9 blinks:alarm wires cut
10 blinks:at least three causes
of alarm.
The led goes off when turning the
key to MAR or after about 2 minutes
blinking.
Since the electronic car
alarm absorbs electricity,
if you will not be using
your car for more than a month,
switch the system off with the re-
mote control and turn the emer-
gency key to OFF.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, chil-
dren are considered as adults and
wear the seat belts normally.
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Fiat child restraint systems for each
weight group. These systems were
specifically designed and tested for Fi-
at vehicles.

With passenger’s air bag
active, never place child’s
seats with the cradle facing back-
wards since the air bag activation
could cause to the child serious in-
juries, even mortal, regardless of the
seriousness of the crash that trig-
gered it. You are advised to carry
children always with proper re-
straint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position
in the case of a crash.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER If it is
absolutely necessary to car-
ry a child on the front pas-
senger seat with the cradle
child’s seat facing back-
wards, the front passenger’s air bag
must be deactivated using the key
switch. In this case it is absolutely
necessary to check the warning
light
F(see paragraph “Passen-
ger’s front air bag”) to make sure
that deactivation has actually tak-
en place.
WARNING

27GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
IMPORTANTFor foreign markets
(Italy excluded), the cabs of vehicles
for carrying goods are suitable for fit-
ting child restraint systems of the
“Universal” category, according to Eu-
ropean Standard ECE-R44 for the tab-
ulated groups.
IMPORTANTFor Italian market
only (foreign countries excluded), the
cabs of vehicle for carrying passengers
(combi and panorama), are suitable for
fitting child restraint systems of the
“Universal” category, according to Eu-
ropean Standard ECE-R44 for the tab-
ulated groups.
Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for car-
rying children:
1) The recommended position for
installing child’s seat is on the rear seat,
as it is the most protected in the case
of a crash;2) In vehicles fitted with passenger
airbag, neverplace child’s restraint
systems on the front seat.
3) If the passenger’s airbag is deac-
tivated always check the warning light
Fon the instrument panel to make
sure that it has actually been deacti-
vated.
4) Attain to the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint sys-
tem which you are using. These in-
structions must be provided by the
manufacturer. Keep the child restraint
system installation instructions with
the vehicle documents and with this
Handbook. Never use a child restraint
system without installation instruc-
tions.
5) Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
6) Only one child is to be strapped
to each retaining system.
7) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.8) While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
9)Passengers should never carry
children on their laps. No-one, how-
ever strong they are, can hold a child
in the event of a crash.
10) Replace the child restraint sys-
tem after an accident.
With passenger’s air bag
active, never place child’s
seats with the cradle facing back-
wards since the air bag activation
could cause to the child serious in-
juries, even mortal, regardless of the
seriousness of the crash that trig-
gered it. You are advised to carry
children always with proper re-
straint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position
in the case of a crash.

If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal your ve-
hicle), get a Fiat Dealership to make
sure it is still functioning properly
before you start driving again.
WARNING
When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove the
ignition key. This will prevent any-
one from accidentally working the
controls. Remember to apply the
handbrake and, if the vehicle is
faced up on a steep slope engage
the first gear. If it is facing down,
engage the reverse gear. Never
leave children in the vehicle by
themselves.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition
key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will au-
tomatically lock as soon as you try
to turn it. This also applies when
the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifi-
cations (e.g.: installation of anti-
theft Device) that could badly af-
fect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also re-
sult in non-compliance of the car
with homologation requirements.

TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 29
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale.
If it approaches the red section, it
means that the engine is being over-
taxed and you should reduce your de-
mand on it.
Also travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case, it is better to stop
and turn the engine off. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.SPEEDOMETER

REV COUNTER fig. 32
IMPORTANT The electronic sys-
tem progressively blocks fuel flow to
prevent engine from overrevving. This
will lead to a progressive loss of en-
gine power. If the situation persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the vehicle
seen at a Fiat Dealership.
