IMPORTANT
1) Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of
them either in the correct
containers as specified by law or
by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.
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.
Operation
The alarm intervenes in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door or the
bonnet (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started
up (ignition key turned to MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery leads.
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.
IMPORTANT The engine stop function
is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is extracted from the
ignition switch.Activation
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.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly
shut, it will be excluded from the testing
by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors and bonnet are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come
on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.

ignition switch to avoid the risk of
injury to anyone remaining in
the car due to accidental
operation of the electric windows.
