THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine immobiliser system which in-
creases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the ignition key is ex-
tracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during starting by an antenna built into
the starting device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each starting and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog-
nition code to the engine management control unit to de-
activate the immobiliser.
The code is only sent if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted by the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine man-
agement control unit.
If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised,
warning light
Ylights up in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with
the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Service Network if you still can-
not start the engine.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or on
some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear
symbols that draw your attention to the precautions re-
quired when handling the component in question.
A plate summarising these symbols can be found under the
engine bonnet.

Manual selections will always take priority over automat-
ic settings and will be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by pressing the
AUTO button again, except for when the system inter-
venes for particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the automatic con-
trol of the others.
The temperature of the air introduced is always controlled
automatically, depending on the temperature set in the dis-
play (except when the system is off or in certain condi-
tions when the compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following parameters and functions
to be set or altered manually: air temperature, fan speed
(continuous variation); air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast defrosting/demisting func-
tion; air recirculation; switching off the system.AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the tem-
perature, the quantity and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The temperature control is based
on the “equivalent temperature”: in other words, the sys-
tem continuously works to keep the comfort level inside
the vehicle constant and to compensate for possible vari-
ations in outside conditions, including the solar radiation
detected by a dedicated sensor. The automatically con-
trolled parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed
(continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation
(to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the pa-
rameters as required. Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be deactivated: the system will on-
ly override your settings for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).

During fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO), the word
FULL will disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or activation of the compressor and/or recirculation
settings are changed. In this way, the functions will switch
from automatic to manual control until the AUTO button
is pressed again. With one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake air temperature con-
tinues to be managed automatically, except with the com-
pressor switched off: if this is the case, the temperature of
the air introduced into the passenger compartment can-
not be lower than that of the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or anticlockwise to in-
crease or lower the temperature in the passenger com-
partment.
The temperature set is shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right or all to the left to
the extreme HI or LO position to turn the maximum heat-
ing or maximum cooling functions on:
❒HI Function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature knob clockwise over the
maximum value (32 °C). USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in different ways, but it is ad-
visable to start by pressing the AUTO button and then
turning the knob to set the temperature required on the
display. The system will start running automatically in this
way and the set temperature will be reached as quickly
as possible. The system will adjust the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment and will manage the recirculation
function and the air conditioning compressor engagement.
During fully automatic operation the only manual inter-
vention required is the possible activation of the following
functions:
❒Òair recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
❒Zto speed up demisting/defrosting of the front door
window glasses, rear door window glasses and door
mirrors.
During fully automatic system operation, you can change
the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change its settings to adjust to the new
requirements.

Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left lever in the
temporary position for less than half a second. The direc-
tion indicator on the side selected will flash five times and
then go out automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device lights up the space in front of the vehicle for
a short time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or extracted,
pull the lever towards the steering wheel and move it with-
in 2 minutes of the engine switching off.
Each time the lever is moved, the lights stay on for an ex-
tra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the
lights are switched off automatically.
Each time the lever is moved, warning light 3 on the in-
strument panel comes on and the corresponding mes-
sage will appear on the display (see “Warning lights and
messages”) for as long as the function remains on. The
warning light comes on when the lever is operated and
stays on until the function is automatically deactivated. Each
movement of the lever only increases the amount of time
the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than two seconds. DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 46
Place the lever in the (stable) position:
❒up (position 1): activation of right direction indicator;
❒down (position 2): activation of left direction indicator.
The
¥or Îwarning lights will come on intermittently in
the instrument panel.
Direction indicators switch off automatically when the ve-
hicle is back in a straight line.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly to show that you
are about to change lane, move the lever up or down with-
out it clicking into position. When released, the lever will
return to its default position.

Memorizing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 48 to ON and depress the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the required
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is
possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal: releas-
ing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed memorised previously.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the accelerator pedal. Therefore
it is not recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
Turn the twist switch A - fig. 48 to ON.
When the device is activated, the warning light Ücomes
on together with the relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot be activated in 1st
or reverse gear; it is advisable to activate the function in
4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device activated, the ve-
hicle speed may exceed the memorised one.
