ELECTRONIC ALARM
The electronic alarm has the following functions:
❒central door locking/unlocking remote control;
❒perimetral surveillance, which picks up opened doors, bonnet and
tailgate;
❒volumetric surveillance, which picks up the movement of any intruders
inside the passenger compartment.
OPERATION
The electronic alarm of Fiat Multipla is controlled by the receiver located
in the dashboard under the front right panelling. It is activated by the
radio-frequency remote control built into the ignition key.
It will only work when the ignition key is removed from position STOP
or PARK.
The electronic alarm control unit also includes the self-powered alarm
siren; the siren may be deactivated.
To switch the electronic alarm on: press briefly the remote control
button (C). You should hear a “beep” and the direction indicators switch
on for about 3 seconds (in countries where legislation permits it). The
warning led (F) inside the car will flash as long as the car alarm is on.
To switch the electronic alarm off: press the remote control button
again. You will hear two “beeps” and the direction indicators will flash
twice (in countries where legislation permits it).

AND CONTROLS
To deactivate the volumetric surveillance: the
volumetric protection function can be deactivated
before activating the electronic alarm in this way: turn
the ignition key from STOP and bring it in rapid
succession onto MAR then back to STOP, after which,
remove the key.
The led (F) on the instrument panel will light up for
about 2 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been
cut off.
To reactivate the volumetric protection (before
enabling the electronic alarm) turn the key to MAR for
more than 30 seconds.
If, however, the volumetric protection has been
deactivated and you wish to operate one of the
electronic controls managed by the ignition key in
MAR (e.g. electric windows) turn the key to MAR, use
the required electric control then bring the key back
to STOP within 30 seconds. In this way the volumetric
protection will not be reactivated.
To cut out the siren: press the remote control button
for about 4 seconds when enabling the electronic
alarm.
Five beeps will be heard which indicate that the siren
has been disabled and the alarm has been enabled.SELF-TEST
If when switching the car alarm on, you hear a “beep”
followed after about one second by a shorter “beep”,
check that the doors, bonnet and boot are all closed
properly, then try switching the alarm on again. If the
problem repeats, contact Fiat Dealership.
PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM
When your new car is handed over to you, the
electronic alarm has already been programmed by the
Fiat Dealership. Any subsequent programming should
also be carried out by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The electronic alarm operation is
prepared according to the laws of the specific country.
This operation is only to be carried out by a Fiat
Dealership, to avoid damaging the electronic memory
storage system.
