There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal
operation.
IMPORTANT The engine lock function is guaranteed by
the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with
the remote control towards the vehicle and press and
release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by an self-
diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by pressing the “release
doors/release load compartment” button, check that the
doors and bonnet are properly closed and turn the
alarm back on by pressing the lock button.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control
functions described previously, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is opened
illegitimately (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition key
rotated to MAR-ON);
❒when the battery cables are cut.
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.

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
❒before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power;
❒always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb for safety reasons. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 177 to release the replacement
part;
❒fit the new cylinder and press until it is automatically
engaged.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol and let
it dry.

blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the filament A-fig. 204 must be
intact. If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another
with the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse;
C fuse with damaged filament.
Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other recovered material.
Never replace a fuse with another of
higher amp rating; FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) is
blown, contact a Fiat Dealership. Before
replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key
has been removed and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disengaged.
