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.

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 flattening) are not consid-
ered.
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button A-fig. 16 on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on
until activating the central door opening
again.INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
Any attempt to break in is indicated by
warning light
Yon the instrument pan-
el with the relevant message on the dis-
play (see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system com-
pletely (for instance during prolonged in-
activity of the car) simply lock the car
turning the metal insert of the key with re-
mote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the electronic
alarm if remote control batteries are
down or the system is failing, fit the key
into the ignition switch and turn it to
MAR.

(with ignition key at MAR), relating to the
operating status of the car.
This function comprises the “General trip”
concerning the “complete mission” of the
car (journey) and “Trip B”, concerning the
partial mission of the car; this latter func-
tion is “contained” (as shown in fig. 25)
within the complete mission. Both func-
tions are resettable (reset - start of new
mission).“General Trip” displays the figures relat-
ing to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” displays the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” function can be excluded
(see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” cannot be re-
set.Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the car can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried. The display will
show “----” if the range value is below 50
km (or 30 mi).
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of the new mission.
