Replacing the battery of the
key with remote control
If, when pressing button
Ë, Á, or R, the
led F-fig. 12(where provided) on the key
flashes briefly only once, the battery
should be replaced with an equivalent one
that can be purchased at common stores.
Battery replacement:
❒press button Aand move the metal in-
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
is correct;
❒re-insert the battery holder Din the
key and lock it turning the screw Cto
;.Request for additional remote
controls
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.
fig. 12F0C0037m
Used batteries are harmful to
the environment. They should
be disposed of as specified by
law in the special containers
provided, or take them to a Fiat Deal-
ership, which will deal with their dis-
posal.

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.

IMPORTANT Operating the central door
locking with the metal insert of the key
will not deactivate the alarm.
VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
SENSORS
The volumetric sensors are inside the
front ceiling light in the passenger’s com-
partment. To make sure that the volu-
metric sensors are working properly,
check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows
and Skywindow (where provided) are
shut.Volumetric protection
deactivation
If it is necessary to switch on the alarm
when animals or people are in the car,
press button A-fig. 15 on the front ceil-
ing light to deactivate the volumetric pro-
tection.
Deactivation is needed also in the pres-
ence of additional independent heater and
when it is switched on with the remote
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
