Request for additional remote controls
The system can recognise up to 8 keys with
incorporated remote control. Should a new remote
control be necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership and be
ready to present the CODE card, a personal identity
document and the vehicle ownership documents. Some versions are equipped with a key with a remote
control with 2 keys Áand Ëfig. 5.
Button Áis used for locking all the doors;
Button Ëis used for unlocking all the doors.
Dashboard LED indications
When locking the doors, led A-fig. 6 switches on for
about 3 seconds and than starts flashing (deterrence
function).
When the doors are locked, if one or more doors are
not closed correctly, the LED and direction indicators
start flashing quickly.

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.

Air distribution buttons (B)
Press these buttons to manually set one
of the seven air distribution settings:
▲Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost the windows.
˙Air flow to the central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face in hot weather.
▼Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. Thanks
to the natural tendency of hot air to rise, this
distribution pattern allows the passenger
compartment to warm up as quickly as possible,
providing an immediate feeling of warmth.
˙
▼Air flow distribution split between footwell vents
(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularly
useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
▲
▼Air flow distribution split between the footwell vents
and the windscreen and front side windows
defrosting/demisting vents. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compartment and
prevents the windows from steaming up.
This function may be used to heat up the passenger
compartment by exploiting the system’s potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum heating. The air speed and distribution are
fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot,
the maximum fan speed does not come on straight away
in order to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air to the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed when this function
is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob anticlockwise and set the required temperature.
❒LO function (maximum cooling):
select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise
beyond the minimum value (16 °C).
This function may be used to cool down the passenger
compartment by exploiting the system’s potential to the
full. In this event, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to
maximum cooling. The air speed and distribution are
fixed. All manual settings will be allowed when this
function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob clockwise and set the required temperature.

The fan speed is shown by the bars lit up on the display:
❒Max. fan speed = all bars lit;
❒Min. fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled only if the climate control
compressor has been switched off by pressing button
F-fig. 53.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control
after a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect
may increase the flow of air into the passenger
compartment, which in this case will not directly
correspond to the fan speed bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
When the AUTO button is pressed the
system automatically regulates the
quantity and the distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments.
The message FULL AUTO will appear on the front
display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one of the functions
automatically managed by the system (air recirculation,
air distribution, fan speed or switching off the
compressor), the word FULL will disappear from the
display, indicating that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the functions (the
temperature will still be controlled automatically).
▲
˙Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents
and the central and side dashboard vents. This
distribution makes it possible to maintain good levels
of comfort and keep the passenger compartment
sufficiently cool (useful in the summer).

˙
▼Air flow distribution split between the windscreen
and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents,
the central and side dashboard vents and the

diffusion and maintains a good level of comfort both
in summer and winter.
The distribution set is shown by the corresponding
LEDs on the selected buttons coming on.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution
after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
