ALARM
(where provided)
In addition to all the remote control func-
tions described above, an alarm has been
installed, which is controlled by a receiv-
er unit located under the dashboard near
the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is
opened illegitimately (perimeter pro-
tection);
❒when the ignition system is started up
(ignition key rotated to MAR);
❒when the battery cables are cut;
❒when someone is moving inside the
passenger compartment (volumetric
protection);
❒when the vehicle is unusually lifted/tilt-
ed.
Depending on the markets where the ve-
hicle is sold, alarm tripping causes either
a siren or direction indicators to go on
(for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm tripping
and the number of cycles depend on the
sales market.Provision has been made for a maximum
number of acoustic/visual cycles, after
which the system resumes its standard
control function.
Volumetric and anti-lift protections are
disabled by pressing the control button in-
stalled on the front dashboard (see para-
graph “Anti-lift protections).
IMPORTANT The engine stop function is
guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is au-
tomatically activated when the ignition key
is extracted from the starter device.
ENABLING THE ALARM
Keep the doors and bonnets closed and
either turn the ignition key to STOPor
remove it. Direct the key with the remote
control towards the vehicle and press but-
ton
Á, then release it.
Excluding some versions for specific mar-
kets, the system produces a sound warn-
ing (beep) and enables door locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test is
run. If a failure is detected, the system pro-
duces a new acoustic signal and shows a
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). If this is the case, disable the alarm by
pressing button Ë, check correct locking
of the doors, bonnet and boot, and enable
the alarm again by pressing button
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly
closed, it will be excluded from the test-
ing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and boot
are correctly closed, a failure has occurred
in system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking
system is engaged using the metal insert
of the key, the alarm is not enabled.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is con-
figured in compliance with the regulations
existing in the different countries.

DISABLING THE ALARM
Press button Ëon the key with the re-
mote control.
The following operations are performed
(excluding some versions):
❒the direction indicators turn on short-
ly twice;
❒two short beeps are produced by the
warning buzzer;
❒the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking
system is engaged using the metal insert
of the key, the alarm is not disabled.ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
The anti-lift protection system consists in
a sensor which detects any change in ve-
hicle tilting with a view to identifying any
possible vehicle lifting, though partial (e.g.
when a tyre is removed).
The sensor also detects minor changes of
the vehicle trim angle both along the lon-
gitudinal and transverse axle.
Disabling the anti-lift protection
The anti-lift protection is disabled (for in-
stance when the vehicle needs to be
towed with the alarm engaged) by press-
ing button A-fig. 9 installed on a specific
dashboard. The protection remains en-
abled until the central door opening sys-
tem is engaged again.SIGNALS IN THE EVENT
OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS
Whenever a break-in is attempted, a
warning light Y(or symbol on the dis-
play) starts blinking on the instrument pan-
el (in some versions a message also ap-
pears on the display - see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”).
DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.
during prolonged vehicle shutdown), lock
the vehicle by turning the metal insert of
the key in the door lock.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key
with the remote control goes down or the
system fails, the alarm is disabled by plac-
ing the key in the ignition system and ro-
tating it to MAR.

Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed. Under no circum-
stances should after-market opera-
tions be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could negatively affect
performance and safety, cause the
lapse of the warranty and also result
in vehicle non-compliance with type-
approval requirements.
WARNINGIGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 10:
❒STOP: the engine is off, the key can be
extracted, the steering is locked. Some
electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) are en-
abled.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical de-
vices work regularly.
❒AVV: engine start.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that forces the driver to return the
ignition key to STOPbefore repeating the
starting operation, if the engine does not
start up.STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key
and turn the steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.

TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on vehicle operation when the
key is turned to MAR. This function al-
lows to define two separate trips called
“Trip A” and “Trip B” for monitoring the
“complete mission” of the vehicle (trip) in
a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions are resettable (reset - start of
new mission).
“Trip A” is used to display data relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B” is supplied on versions having a
multifunctional display and is used to dis-
play data relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be disabled
(see paragraph “Trip B on”). “Range” and
“Instant consumption” cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
Indicates the travel distance left before the
vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank.
The message “----” will appear on the dis-
play in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
IMPORTANT Changes of the range value
can be affected by many factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style” in sec-
tion “Starting and driving”), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads,
etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes. Exit Menu
This is the last function that closes the set-
ting cycle listed in the initial menu screen.
Briefly press button MENU ESCto go
back to the standard screen without stor-
ing settings.
Press button –to return to the first menu
option (Speed Beep).
