the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation, Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is equipped with a system for continuously monitoring emissions control system components to
ensure environmental-friendlier running.

The signs you see on this page are very important. They highlight those parts of the handbook where, more than
anywhere else, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.
As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify the subjects in
the different areas:

– lock/unlock the rear doors or the
tailgate;
– lock/unlock the side doors, Cargo
versions only;
– deactivate the passenger’s airbag.
The key B, with a built-in remote
control, has the same functions as key
Ain vehicles with door lock remote
control.
The CODE card fig. 3is also sup-
plied with the keys and bears the fol-
lowing:
a- the electronic code to be used for
emergency starting (see “Emergency
start-up” in section “In an emer-
gency”);b- the mechanical key code to be
given to the Fiat Dealershipwhen
ordering duplicate keys.
Keep the CODE card in a safe place.
Make sure you have the electronic
code of the CODE card with you at all
times in the event you have to per-
form an emergency start-up.
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, or PARK, the protection
system will automatically immobilise
the engine.
When the key is turned to MARto
start the engine:
1)if the code is recognised the ¢
(Y) warning light on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; this means the
protection system has recognised the
key code and deactivates the immo-
biliser, turn the key to AVV, and the
engine will start.
2)If the warning light ¢(Y) stays
on, the code was not recognised. In
this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR. If the engine re-mains immobilised, try with the oth-
er key provided.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see “In an emergency”) and
take your vehicle to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
When the vehicle is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1)if the warning light ¢(Y) comes
on while the vehicle is moving, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (e.g. due to a voltage drop).
2)if the warning light ¢(Y) flash-
es, the vehicle is not protected by the
engine immobiliser. Contact a Fiat
Dealershipimmediately and get them
to store the codes of all the keys in the
memory.
IMPORTANT The electronic com-
ponents inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to sharp
knocks.
IMPORTANTEach key provided
with the vehicle has its own code, dif-
ferent from all the others, which must
be stored in the memory of the sys-
tem control unit.

DUPLICATE KEYS
When additional keys are required,
go to your Fiat Dealershiptaking all
the keys in your possession and the
CODE card with you. The Fiat Deal-
ershipwill store the old and new keys
(up to eight) in the system. The Fiat
Dealershipmay ask you to demon-
strate that you own the vehicle.
The codes of any keys that are not
handed over when the new storage
procedure is carried out will be delet-
ed from the memory to prevent any
lost or stolen keys being used to start
the vehicle.
All the keys and the CODE card
must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the vehicle.DOOR LOCK
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control is built into the

trols or replacing the batteries, see the
following paragraphs.
IMPORTANTThe remote control
system frequency can be disturbed by
significant radio transmissions outside
the vehicle (e.g: mobile phones, HAM
radio systems, etc.) that could cause
remote control malfunctioning.
Ministerial homologation
In accordance with the legislation
covering radio frequencies in force in
each country, we should like to point
out that:
– the market-specific homologation
numbers are listed in the paragraph
“Radio-frequency remote controls” in
section “Technical specifications”.
– for markets requiring transmitter
marking, the transmitter code is print-
ed on the remote control.

TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event
of a crash, all passengers must be seat-
ed and wearing adequate restraint sys-
tems.
This is even more important for chil-
dren.
This prescription is compulsory in all
EC countries according to EC Direc-
tive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is
proportionally larger and heavier than
the rest of the body, while the mus-
cles and bone structure are not com-
pletely developed. Therefore, correct
restraint systems are necessary, oth-
er then adult seat belts. SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child’s seats not
facing the running direction on the front seat of vehicles
with passenger’s airbag, which during inflation could cause
serious injury, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on
the rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
In any case, child’ seats must absolutely not be fitted on the front seats
of vehicles with passenger’s airbag, which during inflation could cause
serious injury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash
that triggered it. Children may be placed on the front seat of vehicles
fitted with passenger’s airbag deactivation. In this case, it is absolutely
necessary to check the warning light
Fon the instrument panel to
make sure that deactivation has actually taken place (see paragraph
F
RONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS AT ITEMFRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG). The front pas-
senger’s seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to pre-
vent any contact between child’s seat and dashboard.

6) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
8)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.
9)Replace the child restraint system
after an accident. To sum up the safety
precautions to follow when
transporting 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.3) 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.
4) Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
5)Only one child is to be strapped
to each retaining system. In vehicles fitted with
passenger airbag, never
place child’s restraint sys-
tems on the front seat.
2) 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.

20GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you try to turn it. This
also applies when the vehicle is
being towed.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the vehicle
with homologation require-
ments.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 4 different
positions fig. 26:
– STOP:engine off, key can be re-
moved, steering column locked. Some
electrical devices can be worked (e.g.
sound system, electric window
winders).
– MAR: drive position. All electrical
devices can be used.
– AVV: engine ignition.
– PARK:engine off, parking lights
on, steering column locked. Press but-
ton Aand turn the key to PARK.

If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working the controls. Remem-
ber to apply the handbrake and,
if the vehicle is faced down on a
steep slope engage the first gear.
If it is facing up, engage the re-
verse gear. Never leave unsuper-
vised children in the vehicle.
