ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally. Sideslip angle changes
lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flat-
tening) are not considered).
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button B-fig. 14on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on

Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this rea-
son, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car. INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
Any attempt to break in is indicated by
turning on of warning light
Y(if pro-
vided) on the instrument panel with the
relevant message on the display (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system com-
pletely (for instance during prolonged in-
activity of the car) simply lock the car us-
ing the emergency locking.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the alarm if re-
mote control batteries are down or the
system is failing, fit the key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒button Aand Bfor locking/unlocking
the doors fig. 15;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window break-
ing).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattend-
ed.
fig. 15F0L0003m
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated on-
ly using the metal insert of the key on
the driver’s side door as described pre-
viously: in this case the dead lock de-
vice is active only on the rear doors.

trical devices (e.g.: sound system, pow-
er windows…) can work.
❒ON: driving position. All electrical de-
vices are powered.
❒START: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with an elec-
tronic safety system that, in the event the

fig. 17F0L0004m
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to
prevent any occupants from acci-
dentally activating the controls. Re-
member to engage the handbrake
and if the car is parked on uphill slope
to engage the first gear. If the car is
facing downhill, engage the reverse
gear (position P with automatic trans-
mission). Never leave unsupervised
children in the car.
WARNING
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
The steering column lock will engage 5
seconds after removing the key from the
ignition switch (engine off).
Disengaging
The steering column lock will disengage
after fitting the key into the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT Switching the engine off
when the car is running will not engage the
steering column lock. The multifunction
display will show the relevant message
(see section “Warning lights and Mes-
sages”).
IMPORTANT If, after trying to turn the
instrument panel on and/or to start the
engine, the display will show the message
“Check vehicle protection system”, repeat
the operation rocking the steering wheel
to facilitate steering unlocking. Displaying
of this message does not impair steering
column lock operation.
IMPORTANT When the vehicle is mo-
ving, the electronic key must remain in the
ignition device. That ensures that the stee-
ring lock is disabled during vehicle hand-
ling (e.g., when the vehicle is towed).
