2009 FIAT SEDICI remote start

NOTE When you drive or idle your ve-
hicle, white smoke may be emitted de-
pending on the grade of fuel used. This is
due to the particle filter regenerating au-
tomatically, and does not affect the way
the vehicle runs.If the diesel particulate filter warning light
comes on when driving, the diesel partic-
ulate filter is nearly clogged. You should
regenerate the diesel particulate filter
when the diesel particulate filter warning
light comes on. To regenerate the diesel
particulate filter, you must drive the ve-
hicle until the light goes out, at a speed
of 50 km/h (31 mph) or higher for a while
(max. 30 minutes depending on the vehi-
cle speed).
However, you should drive carefully and
within the legal speed limit, and should
take in to consideration the surrounding
traffic conditions.
If you drive your vehicle until the light goes
out, the regeneration of the diesel partic-
ulate filter will be completed.
IMPORTANT Be sure to regenerate the
diesel particulate filter when the Diesel
Particulate Filter warning light comes on.
Failure to regenerate the diesel particu-
late filter will cause the vehicle malfunc-
tion due to the clogged filter.VEHICLE WITH KEYLESS
START SYSTEM
The ignition switch can be operated with-
out using an ignition key when the remote
controller is in an area of the vehicle oth-
er than the rear luggage area. To turn the
ignition switch, first push in the switch.

Manual transaxle vehicle
You must push in the ignition switch to
turn it from the “LOCK” position to the
“ACC” position. To return to the
“LOCK” position from the “ACC” posi-
tion, turn the ignition switch counter-
clockwise while pushing in the switch.
Automatic transaxle vehicle
To turn the ignition switch, push the
switch.
If the keyless start system blue indicator
light illuminates on the instrument cluster,
you can turn the ignition switch. If the red
indicator light illuminates, you cannot turn
the ignition switch.NOTE
 The ignition switch can be turned to the
“ACC” position when the keyless start
system blue indicator light illuminates.
The blue indicator light will illuminate
for several seconds when you push in
the ignition switch and then will turn off
to protect the system. In this case, you
must release the ignition switch and
push it again to illuminate the blue in-
dicator light.
 If the keyless start system red indicator
light illuminates, the remote controller
may not be in the vehicle or the battery
of the remote controller may be unre-
liable.
NOTE
 If the battery of the remote controller
runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the operating range
may be narrower or the remote con-
troller may be inoperative.
 If the remote controller is too close to
the door glass, it may not operate.
 The ignition switch may not turn when
the remote controller is on the instru-
ment panel, in the glove box, in a stor-
age compartment, in the sun visor or
on the floor.IMPORTANT The remote controller is
a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid
damaging it, do not expose it to impacts,
moisture or high temperature (such as on
the dashboard under direct sunlight).
If you leave any of the doors open with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position for
a while (and no key inserted), the engine
may not start when you turn the ignition
switch to “START”. If the engine does not
start, close all doors completely or turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”
position, then start the engine.
You can also turn the ignition switch by
inserting the ignition key into the slot. Re-
fer to “Ignition Switch” in the “STEERING
COLUMN CONTROLS” section.
