ELECTRONIC ALARM
(where provided)
The alarm, provided in addition to all the
remote control functions described pre-
viously is controlled by the receiver set
under the dashboard near 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 or
engine bonnet (perimetral protection);
❒attempt to start the engine (key turned
to MAR);
❒battery cables cutting;
❒abnormal raising/sloping of the vehicle.
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; at the end of these
cycles the system will resume its regular
operation.Anti-raising protection can be cut off by
pressing the corresponding button (see
paragraph “Anti-raising sensor” on the fol-
lowing pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the key is removed from the igni-
tion device.
HOW TO ACTIVATE
THE ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and load com-
partment shut and ignition key toSTOP
or removed, point the key with remote
control or removed, point the key with
remote control in the direction of the ve-
hicle, then press and release the button
“lock”.
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”.
In this case, switch the alarm off by press-
ing button “door unlock/load compart-
ment unlock”, check that the doors and
bonnet are properly shut, then switch the
alarm on again by pressing button “lock”.The door and bonnet not properly shut
will be excluded from the alarm control.
If the doors, bonnet and load compart-
ment are shut correctly and the warning
“beep” is repeated, the system self-diag-
nostics has detected a system operating
fault. It is therefore necessary to contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Operating the central door
locking system with the metal insert of the
key will not activate the alarm.
IMPORTANT The alarm is built in com-
pliance with the law and regulations of the
different destination countries.
HOW TO DEACTIVATE
THE ALARM
Press button “door unlock/load compart-
ment unlock” of the key with remote con-
trol.
The system will react as follows (with the
exception of certain markets):
❒two brief flashes of the direction in-
dicators;
❒two brief “beeps”;
❒door unlocking.
IMPORTANT Operating the central door
opening system with the metal insert of
the key will not activate the alarm.

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
will correspond to a continuous speed in-
crease.
TO REDUCE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk down-
wards will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
The device can be disengaged in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the knurled ring Ato OFF;
❒turning the engine off;
❒pressing the brake pedal or engaging
the hand brake;
❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒shifting gear with automatic transmis-
sion in sequential mode;
❒with vehicle speed below the preset
limit;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really disen-
gaged but the request for acceleration
takes priority over the system. The
cruise control is however active and it
will not be necessary to press button
RES to resume previous conditions
after ending acceleration.The device is automatically deactivated in
one of the following cases:
❒ABS or ESP system cut-in;
❒system failure.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn the
knurled ring A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership after checking the
protection fuse integrity.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
vehicle:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it counter-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
