sert Bto open position;
❒turn the screw Cto :using a fine bit
screwdriver;
❒take out the battery case Dand replace
the battery Emaking sure that the bias

The system can recognise up to 8 remote
controls. Should a new remote control be
necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership, tak-
ing with you the CODE card, a personal
identity document and the car’s owner-
ship documents.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles and safety lock
button;
❒button A-fig. 13for locking/unlocking
the doors, placed on the driver door
panel mask;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of at-
tempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access. There-
fore, it should be actuated every time the
car is parked and left unattended.

Used batteries are harmful to
the environment. They should
be disposed of as specified by
law in the special containers

Device activation
The device is automatically activated on
every door in the following cases:
❒turning twice the key without remote
control (where provided) in closing di-
rection;
❒pressing twice button Áof the key with
remote control.
Device activation is signalled by three
flashings of the direction indicators and
flashing of the led on the driver door pan-
el (see the table on next page).
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the
car from the open door remains blocked
inside the passenger’s compartment when
she/he closes the door.Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when unlocking the doors;
❒when unlocking only the driver’s door;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this rea-
son, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can only be activat-
ed through the metal insert of the key
in the revolving plugs of the doors as
described previously: in this case the
dead lock device is active only on the
rear doors.

ALARM
(where provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition
to all remote control functions previous-
ly described and it is controlled by the re-
ceiver located under the dashboard, next
to the fuse box.
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 (turning the
ignition key to MAR);
❒ battery cable cutting;
❒ presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric pro-
tection);
❒ 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.
Volumetric and anti-raising protections
can be cut off by operating the front ceil-
ing light controls (see paragraphs “Volu-
metric protection sensors” and “Anti-rais-
ing sensor” on the following pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.HOW TO ACTIVATE THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and
the ignition key in the STOPposition or
with the key removed, point the key with
remote control in the direction of the car,
then press and release the button
Á.
With the exception of certain markets,
the system sounds a “beep” and the doors
are locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected
the system sounds a further warning
“beep” and the display shows the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, switch the alarm system off by
pressing button
Ë, check that the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then
switch the alarm on again by pressing but-
ton
Á.
Otherwise, the door, bonnet or tailgate
that is not shut properly will be excluded
from the alarm system control.

REV. COUNTER fig. 18a
The rev counter shows engine rpm. The
needle pointed to the red area (danger)
indicates excessive high engine speed. Do
not drive for long periods with the needle
in this area.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden speed in-
crease. This is normal as it takes place dur-
ing normal operation, for example when
activating the climate control system or
the fan. In particular a slow change in the
speed preserves the battery charge.

Trip time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip
computer values are displayed with “----”.
When normal operating condition is re-
set, calculation of different units will
restart regularly. Values displayed before
the failure will not be reset.TRIP button fig. 24
The TRIP button, set on right steering col-
umn stalk, shall be used (with ignition key
at MAR), to display and to reset the pre-
viously described values to start a new
mission:
– short push to display the different val-
ues;
– long push to reset and then start a new
mission.
New mission
New mission starts after:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by press-
ing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “trip
distance” reaches 4999,9 km or when the
“trip time” reaches 99.59 (99 hours and
59 minutes);
– after disconnecting/reconnecting the
battery.

SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
With key without remote control
(where provided)
Opening: turn the key clockwise in the
door revolving plug.
Closing: turn the key counterclockwise in
the door revolving plug.
With key with remote control
Opening: prolonged pressing (for more
than 2 seconds) on button
Ë.
Closing: prolonged pressing (for more
than 2 seconds) on button
Á.
When buttons
Á/Ë, are released, the
above functions are cut-off.
When opening, blades and curtain open at
the same time.
When closing, the curtain closes first and
then are closed the blades.ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY
SYSTEM
The anti-crushing safety system fitted on
the front curtain outline is active along the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
In addition, the anti-crushing safety system
is active on the rear border of the first
blade and on the front outline of the sec-
ond blade: in this case it is active on the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
As concerns the first blade it is active on
the whole rotation range and guarantees
the reversal of the whole stroke.
After anti-crushing system activation, re-
setting can be carried out with the fol-
lowing 2 procedures:
❒pushing knob A-fig. 83upwards (reset
previously stopped movement);
❒turning knob Ato another position.INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Sunroof shall be re-initialised after dis-
connecting the battery or if the relevant
protection fuse is blown:
❒turn knob A-fig. 81to “0” (fully
closed);
❒keep the knob pressed for over 5 sec-
onds: the sunroof will close jerkily;
❒keep the knob pressed and wait for
complete closing of the sunroof, until
the sun curtain clicks twice.
Sunroof is now initialised and it shall work
regularly. Otherwise, contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Carry out the initialisation
procedure with the engine running. If stop-
ping the initialisation procedure before
ending it, repeat it from the beginning.
