REPLACING THE KEY
BATTERIES fig. 6-7
If the doors do not lock and the di-
rection indicators do not come on
when the button on the remote con-
trol is pressed, replace the batteries
with others of the same time:
– open the metal insert;
– open the plastic casing Aby forc-
ing recess B;
– remove the printed circuit Cwith
the battery;
– extract the battery Dand replace
it respecting the polarity;
– refit the printed circuit Cwith the
battery facing inwards;
– close the plastic casing A.Since the electronic alarm absorbs
electricity, if you will not be using the
vehicle for more than a month, you
are advised to switch the system off
with the remote control. This will pre-
vent the battery from going flat. All the keys and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new
owner when selling the car.

This code is masked by a special
paint, which should be removed when
the CODE card is used. The CODE
card should therefore be kept in a safe
place and not in the vehicle.Used batteries pollute
the environment. Dispose
of them in the special
containers as specified by current
legislation or take them to your
nearest Fiat Dealership, which
will deal with their disposal. Do
not expose them to naked flames
and high temperatures. Keep out
of children’s reach.

IGNITION SWITCH
fig. 11
The key can turn through 4 different
positions:
S -engine off, key can be removed
and the steering column is locked;
M -drive position;
D -starting the engine.When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if the
vehicle is pointing uphill, first
gear. Put the vehicle into reverse
if it is pointing downhill. Never
leave children in the vehicle by
themselves.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
To engage the lock:when the ig-
nition switch is in position S, remove
the ignition key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
To release the lock:move the
steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key toM.Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you tried to turn it.
This always applies, even when
the vehicle is being towed.

F0B0406b
If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to
steal your vehicle), get a Fiat
Dealership to check it over be-
fore you start driving again.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft Device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with
homologation requirements.

Mount the child re-
straint system only with
the car stationary. The
Isofix child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mount-
ing brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the in-
stallation instructions that must
be provided by the child restraint
system’s Manufacturer.The Kiddy Type Isofix seat can how-
ever be fitted to the front passenger
seat even if not provided with Isofix
mounts: in this case, the child’s seat
must be fastened by means of the
three-anchoring point seat belt both
in the ahead and backward positions
The Type Isofix child’s seat covers
three weight groups: 0, 0+and 1.
Fitting the seat for the 0
and 0+ group fig. 71
For children included in groups 0and
0+, the restraint system faces back
(for children with weight up to 13 kg)
and the child is held by the restraint
system belts D.
Proceed as follows to fit the child re-
straint system in the correct way:
– the release lever Bmust be at rest
position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.

As the child grows, passing to the
next weight group (group 1) the child
safety chair must be fitted in the ahead
direction; perform this operation by
following the instructions provided by
the child seat’s Manufacturer.
With the child’s seat in this position,
adjust the corresponding front seat in
such a way that the Kiddy Isofix seat
structure leans against the front seat
backrest.

is at rest position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;
– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;With the child seat in this position,
the corresponding front seat must be
positioned halfway the sliding guides
travel, with the backrest in vertical po-
sition.

– for seats positioned facing the run-
ning direction, fasten the upper belt (in
the upper seat pocket) to the ring A-
fig. 72located on the floor immedi-
ately behind the seat:
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.
With this configuration, the child is
secured also by the car seat belts
