ALARM
(for versions/markets, 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 lift-
ed/tilted.
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 Æ, 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.

HEADLIGHTS
DIRECTING THE BEAM
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. To en-
sure the best visibility conditions during
travel with the headlights on the vehicle
must have beams aimed correctly. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights checked and properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle slants backwards when it is
loaded, raising the beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.FOG LIGHT AIMING DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the
fog lights checked and properly adjusted.
REGULATING THE BEAMS
ABROAD
Dipped beams factory adjustment depends
on the country where the vehicle is pur-
chased. In countries driving on the left, the
beams are aimed by affixing a purposeful-
ly studied adhesive film in order not to
dazzle the vehicles travelling in the oppo-
site direction. This adhesive film is pro-
vided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at the Fiat Dealership. Headlight aiming device regulation
To adjust, press buttons Òand
fig. 92
on the control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el provides a visual indication of the posi-
tions during adjustment operations.
Position 0 - one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1 - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + loaded
boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted
cargo in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming when-
ever the weight of the load carried
changes.
