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 ACTIVATION
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❒when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened illegally (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition
key turned to MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery leads;
❒movement inside the passenger compartment
(volume sensing protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.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.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be
excluded by adjusting the dedicated control on
the front roof light (see “Volume sensing/Anti-lift
protection”).
IMPORTANT The engine stop function is
guaranteed by the Fiat CODE which is
automatically activated when the key is extracted
from the ignition switch.

ignition key either turned to STOP or removed,
point the key with remote control towards the
vehicle and press and release button
.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic signal (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the
system emits a new acoustic signal together with
the display of a message (see “Warning lights and
messages” chapter).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
,
check that all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are
closed correctly; then switch the alarm back on by
pressing the
button.If a door, the bonnet and the tailgate are not
properly shut, they will be excluded from the check
by the alarm system.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a
failure has occurred in system operation.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come on when
the central locking is activated using the metal
insert in the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet
requirements in various countries.
