DUPLICATE KEYS
Go directly to your Fiat Dealer-
ship, taking all the keys in your pos-
session and the CODE card with you.
The codes of any keys that are not
available when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be deleted
from the memory to prevent any lost
or stolen keys being used to start the
engine.
All the keys and the CODE card
must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the car.OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned
to Sthe Fiat CODE system deacti-
vates the engine control unit functions.
After the engine is started by turning
the key to M, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends the code for the
function lock deactivation to the en-
gine control unit. The crypted and
varying code is sent only if the system
control unit has recognised the code
sent by the electronic device con-
tained in each ignition key, through the
signal emitted by a special aerial built
into the ignition switch.
If the code is not recognised, you are
recommended to turn the key to S
and then again to M; if the lock cannot
be deactivated, repeat the operation
with the other key provided with the
vehicle.If you are still not able to start the
engine contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANTEach key supplied
with the vehicle has its own code
which is different from all the others
and which must be stored in the mem-
ory of the system control unit. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealershipfor the new
key storage procedure, taking with
you the CODE card, a personal iden-
tity document and the vehicle owner-
ship documents.
The codes of any keys
that are not available
when the new storage
procedure is carried out will be
deleted from the memory when
all the keys are stored again, in
order to prevent any mislaid keys
being used to start the vehicle.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
From the outside
With the doors closed: insert and
turn the key in the lock of one of the
front doors.
From the inside
With the doors closed: press button
C-fig. 19placed next to the front ceil-
ing lamp.
Pressing or lifting one of the rear sill
buttons only locks or unlocks the par-
ticular door involved.
IMPORTANTIf one of the doors
is not shut properly or there is a fail-
ure in the system, the central locking
feature will not work and the direc-
tion indicators will not flash; after
some attempts, the device stops
working for around 20 seconds. In
these 20 seconds, the door can be
locked or unlocked manually without
the electrical system coming into play.
After the 20-second period, the con-
trol unit is ready to receive commands
once more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not, it will cut
out once more.“Door open” alarm
If, with engine running, one of the
doors is not shut properly, the multi-
function display will show a dedicat-
ed message and the buzzer will sound.
SUPER DOOR LOCK
(where fitted)
To engage the super door lock using
the remote control, press button A-
fig. 8once and then press it again
within 5 seconds. After the first click
they will click again to signal that they
have been engaged.
To activate the super door lock with
the key, place it in the lock and hold
it in the locking position for a few sec-
onds until you hear the second click
indicating that the doors have been
locked.
This operation is necessary if you do
not wish to engage the electronic
alarm.When the super door
lock has been activated it
is impossible to open the
doors even from the inside; for
this reason do not use the super
door lock when there are pas-
sengers in the vehicle.
The super door lock is deactivated
when the doors are unlocked with a
key or remote control by pressing the
pushbutton B-fig. 8.

Windscreen wiper with rain
sensor (where fitted) fig. 101
It works only when the ignition key
is at M.
0- Windscreen wiper off.
I- Flick wipe.
1- Slow continuous wipe.
2- Fast continuous wipe.
AUTO– Rain sensor activation (au-
tomatic operation). On releasing the
stalk it returns to position 0.To make maintenance easier, e.g. to
wash the windscreen or replace the
wiper blades when the ignition key is
at Sor has been removed, pull the
stalk downwards, so that the blades
stay up and stop in that position. Thus
it will be possible to lift the blades and
clean or replace them.
This function works only for 60 sec-
onds after turning the key to Sor re-
moving it.The rain sensor is provided only with
some versions. It is an electronic de-
vice connected to the windscreen
wiper and its function is to adapt flick
wipe to the rain intensity.
All the functions controlled by the
right-hand stalk are not altered.
The rain sensor is switched on au-
tomatically and turns the stalk to AU-
TO position. It gradually passes from
the windscreen wiper off, when the
windscreen is dry, to the slow con-
tinuous wipe when the rain is intense.
The rain sensor activation is signalled
by one flick wipe.

ESP SYSTEM ACTION
The ESP system action is signalled by
warning light
ñflashing to inform the
driver that the vehicle stability and grip
are critical.
ESP failure indication
In the event of an ESP system failure,
it turns off automatically and warning
light
ñcomes on together with the
relative message on the multifunction
display.
In the event of an ESP system failure,
the vehicle behaves as the version
without this type of system. We rec-
ommend you to contact a Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible. The ESP main components are:
– an electronic control unit which
processes the sensor signals and ap-
plies the best strategy;
– an angle sensor which detects the
steering position;
– four sensors which detect each
wheel rotation speed;
– a braking system pressure sensor;
– a yawing sensor which detects the
vehicle spinning around a vertical axis;
– a sensor which detects side accel-
eration (centrifugal force).
The ESP heart is the control unit
which processes the centrifugal forces
deriving from cornering on the basis
of the data coming from the sensors
installed on the vehicle. The yawing
sensor detects the vehicle spinning
around its vertical axis. Centrifugal
forces resulting from cornering are de-
tected by a highly sensible side accel-
eration sensor.
The ESP stabilising action is based on
the control unit processing of data
coming from the steering wheel rota-
tion sensors, side acceleration sensors
and wheel rotation speed sensors.These signals make the control unit
recognise the driver’s manoeuvre
when he/she turns the steering wheel.
The control unit processes such in-
formation and is able to detect the ve-
hicle position at any time and compare
it with the driver’s wished direction. If
they do not match, the control unit is
able to adjust the vehicle’s position in-
stantly, by choosing the best strategy:
it can brake one or more wheels with
different force and reduce the engine
power, if needed.
Adjustments are made for continu-
ously adapting to the driver’s wished
travelling direction.
The ESP system action improves the
vehicle safety in many critical situations
and is useful especially when the
roadbed grip changes.

PARKING SENSORS
(where fitted)
Parking sensors inform the driver
about the presence of obstacles be-
hind the vehicle.
They are a valid support to identify
fences, walls, poles, plant-pots and
alike, together with children playing
behind the car.
The system uses the four sensors on
the bumper fig. 171to detect the dis-
tance between the vehicle and possi-
ble obstacles. When the reverse is en-
gaged, the system is automatically
turned on with a sound signal
(“beep”).
The driver is therefore warned that
the distance between the vehicle and
the rear obstacle is getting reduced by
the increasing of the sound warning
frequency.The sound warning becomes contin-
uous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is lower than
25 cm.
The sound warning stops as soon as
the distance increases. The sequence
of sound warnings remains constant
if the distance is not changed.
If the car features the CONNECT
Nav+ infotelematic system, the park-
ing sensor buzzer will be completed
with graphic information on the colour
display.
IMPORTANTIn the event a the
system failure, the driver is informed
of it by a repeated alarm consisting of
a short sound followed by long one; in
this case contact aFiat Dealership.
If the sensor detects more than one
obstacle, the control unit signals the
obstacle having the shortest distance
from the vehicle. The airbag is set to be
fired in the event of colli-
sions which are greater
than the pretensioner settings.
Consequently, for collisions in the
bracket between the two thresh-
olds, it is normal for only the pre-
tensioners to be fired.
The air bag does not
substitute the seat belts,
but only increases their
effectiveness. Moreover, since
the air bag does not come into
operation in the event of front
impact at low speed, side colli-
sions, bumps from behind or
overturning, in these circum-
stances the occupants would be
only be protected by the seat
belts which must therefore al-
ways be fastened.

IN AN EMERGENCY
154
Do not carry out this
procedure if you lack ex-
perience; if it is not done
correctly it can cause very in-
tense electrical discharges. In ad-
dition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. You are also advised not to
put naked flames or lighted cig-
arettes near the battery and not
to cause sparks.
Remember that until
the engine has started the
brake booster and elec-
trical power steering systems will
not work and a greater effort will
therefore be required to press
the brake pedal or turn the steer-
ing wheel.IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
Certain versions (where provided)
are fitted with wheel identification and
tyre inflation sensors; pressure loss is
signalled to the driver in the follow-
ing way:
pressure loss- the infotelematic
CONNECT system displays the relat-
ed message and a “gong” is emitted by
the system. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship;
punctured tyre- warning light
“STOP” comes on and the in-
fotelematic CONNECT system dis-
plays the related message together
with 3 consecutive “gong” sounds.
Change the wheel in the following
way.
The system can also display a dedi-
cated message in the event it should
not be able to detect the tyre pres-
sure. Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the en-
gine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the ignition and injection control
units.
BUMP STARTING
Do not bump start by
pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill. This way of
starting could cause a rush of fu-
el into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
