ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery),
visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle electric sys-
tem can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING

DEAD LOCK SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The dead lock system is a safety device
which prevents door opening from inside
the passenger compartment in case of an
attempted break-in (e.g.: window break-
ing).
It is the best protection possible against
attempted break-ins. We recommend en-
gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked
and left unattended.
Once the dead lock device
has been engaged, doors
cannot be opened from the passen-
ger compartment in any way. For this
reason, make sure there are no per-
sons left inside the vehicle.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated on-
ly by fitting the metal insert of the key
in both front door revolving plugs as
described previously: in this case the
dead lock device will stay engaged on-
ly on the rear doors.
WARNING
Engaging the system
The system is automatically enabled on all
the doors by double-pressing the button
Ápositioned on the key with the remote
control.
The system has been successfully enabled
when the direction indicators flash twice.
The system is not enabled if one or more
than one door is not correctly locked.
This prevents any person from getting in-
to the vehicle from an open door, and
locks him/her inside the passenger com-
partment when the door is closed.
Disengaging the system
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when unlocking the doors;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.

ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
In addition to all the remote control func-
tions described above, an alarm has been
installed, which is controlled by a receiv-
er unit located under the dashboard near
the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is
opened illegitimately (perimeter pro-
tection);
❒when the ignition system is started up
(ignition key rotated to MAR);
❒when the battery cables are cut;
❒when someone is moving inside the
passenger compartment (volumetric
protection);
❒when the vehicle is unusually lift-
ed/tilted.
Depending on the markets where the ve-
hicle is sold, alarm tripping causes either
a siren or direction indicators to go on
(for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm tripping
and the number of cycles depend on the
sales market.Provision has been made for a maximum
number of acoustic/visual cycles, after
which the system resumes its standard
control function.
Volumetric and anti-lift protections are
disabled by pressing the control button in-
stalled on the front dashboard (see para-
graph “Anti-lift protections).
IMPORTANT The engine stop function is
guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is au-
tomatically activated when the ignition key
is extracted from the starter device.
ENABLING THE ALARM
Keep the doors and bonnets closed and
either turn the ignition key to STOPor
remove it. Direct the key with the remote
control towards the vehicle and press but-
ton
Á, then release it.
Excluding some versions for specific mar-
kets, the system produces a sound warn-
ing (beep) and enables door locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test is
run. If a failure is detected, the system pro-
duces a new acoustic signal and shows a
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). If this is the case, disable the alarm by
pressing button Æ, check correct locking
of the doors, bonnet and boot, and enable
the alarm again by pressing button
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly
closed, it will be excluded from the test-
ing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and boot
are correctly closed, a failure has occurred
in system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking
system is engaged using the metal insert
of the key, the alarm is not enabled.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is con-
figured in compliance with the regulations
existing in the different countries.

DISABLING THE ALARM
Press button Æon the key with the re-
mote control.
The following operations are performed
(excluding some versions):
❒the direction indicators turn on short-
ly twice;
❒two short beeps are produced by the
warning buzzer;
❒the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking
system is engaged using the metal insert
of the key, the alarm is not disabled.VOLUME-SENSING/
ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
To ensure correct operation of the pro-
tection, it is advisable to fully close the side
windows.
If necessary, the function may be turned
off (e.g. if animals are left in the car) by
pressing key A-fig. 8, located on the front
courtesy light before activating the alarm.
Function deactivation is indicated by the
led located on the key flashing for a few
seconds. If the volume-sensing/anti-lift
protection is turned off, this must be re-
peated whenever the instrument panel is
turned off.SIGNALS IN THE EVENT
OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS
Whenever a break-in is attempted, a
warning light Y(or symbol on the dis-
play) starts blinking on the instrument pan-
el (in some versions a message also ap-
pears on the display - see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”).
DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.
during prolonged vehicle shutdown), lock
the vehicle by turning the metal insert of
the key in the door lock. In this case, the
car will not be protected by the alarm sys-
tem, while the engine immobiliser function
is ensured by the Fiat CODE system
which is automatically activated when the
key is removed from the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key
with the remote control goes down or the
system fails, the alarm is disabled by plac-
ing the key in the ignition system and ro-
tating it to MAR.

INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type
may vary according to the version.
TACHOMETER
(speed indicator) fig. 10
It shows the vehicle speed.REV. COUNTER fig. 11
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the speed. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused, for ex-
ample, by the operation of the climate
control system or fan. In this case, a slow
change in engine speed is used to protect
the battery charge.
