THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection against at-
tempted theft of the vehicle. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key
is extracted.
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
If, during ignition, the code is not correctly
recognized, a warning light Yis lit on the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR. Try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists. If
the engine will not start up after this op-
eration, run the emergency start proce-
dure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and
then contact the Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the code.THE WARNING LIGHT
Y(or symbol on the display)
GOES ON DURING TRAVEL
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on the
display) turns on, the system is running
a self-test (for example for a voltage
drop). The first time you stop the vehi-
cle, turn the ignition key to STOPand
then to MAR. If no failure is detected,
the warning light
Ydoes not light up.
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on
the display) remains steadily lit, repeat
the procedure above leaving the key in
the STOPposition for over 30 sec-
onds. If the problem persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership.
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on
the display) stays on, the code is not ac-
knowledged. In this case, return the key
to STOPand then to MAR; try with
the other keys provided if the problem
persists. If the engine will not start up
after this operation, run the emergency
start procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”) and then contact the Fiat
Dealership.
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 precau-
tions required when handling the compo-
nent in question.
The inner surface of the engine bonnet
includes a label with the different symbols
used.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to
violent shocks.

Putting the seat back in position
To bring the seat back to the normal po-
sition proceed as follows:
❒grab the lever A-fig. 25and lift the
backrest;
❒grab the levers B-fig. 26and lift the back-
rest further more up.
When the passenger’s seat is
in recessed position, the re-
sulting space cannot be used as a
loading compartment. During vehicle
travel we recommend that all objects
be removed or secured so that they
do not become an obstacle or pose
a risk during driving.
If there is no partition between the
cabin and the loading compartment,
large objects or packs may partially
occupy the passenger compartment.
Make sure that these objects or packs
are secured by the supplied restraint
devices, therefore not being an ob-
stacle or posing risks during driving.
WARNING
ACCES TO REAR
SEATS (Combi versions)
Access to the rear seats is gained by open-
ing one of the rear sliding doors (see in-
structions provided in paragraph “Doors”
of this section).

EMERGENCY OPENING
FROM INSIDE
In case of emergency the boot can be
opened from inside the vehicle as de-
scribed below.
❒Open the side sliding door and lower
the backrest of the rear seat all the way
down so as to gain access to the load-
ing compartment (Combi versions).
or
❒Open the side sliding door (Cargo ver-
sions).
❒Use handle A-fig. 79positioned on the
inside of the right-hand swing-door.

fig. 79F0T0060m
Never exceed the maximum
allowed load in the boot (see
section “Technical Specifications”).
Make sure that the objects are well
arranged in the boot so that they will
not be projected forwards following
sudden braking.
WARNING
If you travel in areas with
few filling stations and you
want to transport fuel in a spare tank,
respect applicable laws and exclu-
sively use a type-approved suitably
secured tank. However, the risks in
case of collision increase.

CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wear adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
A child’s head is larger and heavier in pro-
portion to his/her body and the child’s
muscular and bone structures are not ful-
ly developed. For this reason, they require
restraint systems which are different from
those used by adults to protect them in
the event of an accident.The research results in relation to the best
protection for children is illustrated in Eu-
ropean standard CEE-R44 which divides
the restraint systems into five groups in
addition to making their use compulsory:
Group 0 = up to 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ = up to 13 kg in weight
Group 1 = 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 = 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 = 22-36 kg in weight
As it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and, in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.All restraint devices must bear the type-
approval data along with the control mark
on a label that must be firmly secured to
the child seat and must never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and have to wear the
standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Fiat includes child restraint
systems for each weight group. These de-
vices are recommended as they have been
specifically designed for Fiat cars/vehicles.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the ve-
hicle seat belts directly fig. 9.
The child seat is only needed to position
the child correctly with respect to the
belts so that the diagonal section crosses
the child’s chest and never the neck and is
snug on the hips and not the abdomen.GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size
of the child’s chest no longer requires a
support to space the child’s back from the
seat back.
Fig. 10shows proper child seat posi-
tioning on the rear seat. Children over
1.50 m in height can wear seat belts like
adults.
fig. 9F0T0008mfig. 10F0T0009m
The figures are indicative for
assembly purposes only. Re-
fer to the instructions supplied with
the child seat.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems
for weight groups 0 and 1
have a rear attachment and seat belts
for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if in-
correctly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the vehicle seat belts placing a cush-
ion in between). Follow the assembly
instructions carefully.
