SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat SCUDO. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the pre-
cautions to be taken as regards that par-
ticular component.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from theft,
it has been fitted with an engine immobil-
ising system. This system is automatically
activated when the ignition key is re-
moved.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device trans-
mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate sig-
nal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to M, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the
inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to S,
the Fiat CODE system deactivates the
functions of the engine electronic control
unit.
In this case, the key should be moved to
Sand then back to M; if the lock contin-
ues, possibly try again with the other key
provided with the vehicle. If it is still not
possible to start the vehicle, contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up
to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Deal-
ership.

During fully automatic operation, the on-
ly manual settings required are the fol-
lowing:
❒Ωair recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒-to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, side windows, rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒(to demist/defrost heated rear win-
dow and door mirrors;
❒πto select air distribution during ven-
tilation.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set tempera-
tures, air distribution and fan speed by us-
ing the relevant buttons or knobs: the sys-
tem will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements.Air temperature adjusting knobs
M - I
Turning the knobs clockwise or counter-
clockwise, respectively increases or de-
creases the temperature of the air required
respectively in the front left zone (knob M)
and in the right zone (knob I) f the passen-
ger compartment. Since the system controls
two zones of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to personalise required tem-
peratures (driver and passenger) with a
maximum difference of 7 °C.
The temperatures set are shown on the dis-
play near the relevant knobs. Pressing but-
ton AUTOwill activate automatic opera-
tion in order to have two separate ventila-
tion temperatures between driver and pas-
senger’s side.
With automatic operation on, pressing again
button AUTOwill align the temperature
on the passenger’s side with that on the dri-
ver’s side.
Turn the knobs fully clockwise or counter-
clockwise to engage respectively HI(max-
imum heating) or LO(maximum cooling).
To deactivate these two functions, just
turn the temperature knob and set the re-
quired temperature.Front air distribution button D
Pressing this button it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possi-
ble air distributions to the passenger com-
partment (right or left side):
æAir flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
øAir flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest and
the face during the hot season.
¿Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this
type of distribution allows heating of
the passenger compartment in the
shortest time, also giving a prompt
feeling of warmth.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time (45 seconds). To activate
it the ignition key shall be at Sor removed
and the left stalk shall be pushed towards
the dashboard within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
If the vehicle is fitted with automatic de-
vice for turning on side lights and dipped
beams, the follow me home function will
activate automatically when opening the
doors.AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
Activation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring to AUTO: in this
way, the automatic activation of the
side/taillights and dipped beam headlights
is simultaneously enabled according to the
external luminosity.

Deactivation fig. 58
Turn the knurled ring back to å; deacti-
vation is indicated by the dedicated mes-
sage on the display.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
It works with ignition key at Mand dipped
beams on. When the vehicle is loaded, it
slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct position.To adjust the headlight slant

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In case of an eventual anomaly, the ESP
system automatically disconnects itself and
on the instrument panel the warning light
™is fixed, accompanied by a beeper and
a dedicated message on the display (see
chapter “Warning lights and messages”).
In which case please seek advice, as soon
as possible, from the Fiat Dealership.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility and traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR system controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every
time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping. The action of the ASR system is particu-
larly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).
For correct operation of the
ESP and ASR systems, the
tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in per-
fect conditions and, above all, of
type, brand and size specified.

For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Make sure that the
seat belts of the front and rear pas-
sengers are fastened at all times! You
increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision if you travel with
the belts unfastened.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the components of
the seat belts and pretensioners be
tampered with or removed. Any op-
eration should be carried out by qual-
ified and authorised personnel. Al-
ways contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subject-
ed to heavy stress, for ex-
ample after and accident, it should be
changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if
the belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.
WARNING
Never travel with a child sit-
ting on the passenger’s lap
with a single belt to protect them
both. Do not fasten other objects to
the body.

USING THE MANUAL
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al fully and shift the gear lever into one of
the required positions (the diagram is
shown on the knob).
IMPORTANT The vehicle can only be put
into reverse gear when it has stopped
moving completely. With the engine run-
ning, before engaging the reverse, wait at
least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal ful-
ly down to prevent damage and grating of
the gears.

In order to activate the reverse motion R
from the neutral position, move the lever
towards the right and then backwards.
6 speed gearbox fig. 2/a
In order to activate the reverse motion R
from the neutral position, lift the sliding
collar placed under the knob and, at the
same time move the lever towards the left
and then forwards.
To change gears properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is therefore es-
sential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
