DEAD LOCK SYSTEM
(where provided)
The dead lock system is a safety device
which prevents door opening from inside
the passenger compartment in case of an
attempted break-in (e.g.: window break-
ing).
It is the best protection possible against
attempted break-ins. We recommend en-
gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked
and left unattended.
Once the dead lock device
has been engaged, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger compartment in any way. For this
reason, make sure there are no per-
sons left inside the vehicle.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated on-
ly by fitting the metal insert of the key
in both front door revolving plugs as
described previously: in this case the
dead lock device will stay engaged on-
ly on the rear doors.
WARNING
Engaging the system
The system is automatically enabled on all
the doors by double-pressing the button
Ápositioned on the key with the remote
control.
The system has been successfully enabled
when the direction indicators flash twice.
The system is not enabled if one or more
than one door is not correctly locked.
This prevents any person from getting in-
to the vehicle from an open door, and
locks him/her inside the passenger com-
partment when the door is closed.
Disengaging the system
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when unlocking the doors;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.

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:
❒unauthorised opening of a door, the
bonnet, tailgate or, if present, one of the
sliding side doors (perimeter protec-
tion);
❒unauthorised activation of ignition
(turning the key to MARposition us-
ing a key that is not enabled);
❒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 problem is detected, the system
will produce a new signal about 4 secs.
after the command to turn it on. 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.VOLUME-SENSING/
ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
To ensure correct operation of the pro-
tection, it is advisable to fully close the side
windows.
If necessary, the function can be excluded
(if, for example, an animal is being left in
the vehicle) by pressing button A-fig. 9,
located in the front courtesy light, either
with the instrument panel off or before
the actual alarm is activated.
Function deactivation is indicated by the
led located on the key flashing for a few
seconds. If the volume-sensing/anti-lift
protection is turned off, this must be re-
peated whenever the instrument panel is
turned off.SIGNALS IN THE EVENT
OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS
When the instrument panel is turned on,
depending on the vehicle trim level, any
break in attempt will be signalled by
warning light
Ycoming on, or the
symbol in the display together with a
dedicated message (see chapter on
“Warning lights and messages”).
DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.
during a lengthy period of idleness), sim-
ply lock the vehicle by turning the metal
insert of the key with remote control in
the lock. In this case the vehicle will not
protected by the alarm system, whilst
the engine immobilizer function is guar-
anteed by the Fiat CODE which is auto-
matically activated when the key is
extracted from the ignition.
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.

TACHOMETER
(speed indicator) fig. 11
It shows the vehicle speed.REV. COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the speed. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused, for ex-
ample, by the operation of the climate
control system or fan. In this case, a slow
change in engine speed is used to protect
the battery charge.
