Used batteries are harmful to the
environment .You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as
specified by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.ORDERING ADDITIONAL REMOTE
CONTROLS
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote controls.
Should a new remote control be necessary, contact a
Fiat Dealership, taking a personal identity document
and the vehicle ownership documents with you.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger compartment
if there has been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window
has been broken).
Dead lock therefore offers the best possible
protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is
impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the system
please therefore check that there is no one left
on board.

WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat , the
sys
tem can be engaged by inser ting
the metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only remains
active for the rear doors.
Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors
by pressing button
twice on the key with remote
control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know
that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the
dead lock device will not be activated, thus
preventing a person getting into the car through the
open door and, on shutting, it, remaining stuck
inside the passenger compartment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒by unlocking the doors;
❒by turning the ignition key to the ON position.
ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the previously described
remote control functions, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse
box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒unauthorised opening of a door, the bonnet, the
tailgate or a sliding side door (if present)
(perimeter protection)
❒unauthorized operation of the starting device (key
turned on using a key that is not enabled)
❒cutting of the battery leads
❒moving presence inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection)
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
Volumetric and antilifting protections are disabled by
pressing the control button installed on the front
dashboard (see paragraph "Antilift protections).

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 7:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) can work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can
work.
❒AVV: starting the engine. The ignition switch is
fitted with an electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn
the steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key to MAR.

automatically as soon as it is turned.This also
applies to cases in which the vehicle is towed. It
is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
badly affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty and also result in the car failing
to comply with regulations.

INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may
vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER (speed indicator)
This shows the speed of the vehicle fig. 8.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 9 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine
power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may
indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the engine
speed.This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate
control system or the fan. In these cases, a gradual
variation in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
Warning light A fig. 10 switches on to indicate that
6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in paragraph "Vehicle
refuelling" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to prevent
damaging the catalytic converter.

In normal use, the needle could assume different
positions within the scale, depending on the usage
conditions.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.

temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the needle for the engine coolant
temperature reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
