2013 FIAT BRAVO key battery

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European specification
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to switch on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINEMake sure that the handbrake is engaged and
place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the
clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator,
then turn the ignition key to the MAR position
and wait for the

warning lights
to switch off (diesel versions); turn the ignition
key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical
requirement and check that the car’s electrical
system can support the required load.

SAFE LOCK DEVICE(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒door locking/unlocking button fig. 13 on the
central trim;
thereby preventing the opening of the doors from
inside the passenger compartment if there has been
a break-in attempt (e.g. a window has been
broken).
The safe lock device therefore offers the best
possible protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the safe lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the car.Therefore, before getting out of
the car check that there is no one left on
board.
WARNING
If the key with remote control battery
is flat , the system can be engaged by
using the metal insert in the door catch as
described previously: in this case, the device
only remains active for the rear doors.

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.
