Following the locking of the doors using: ❒
remote control;
❒
door catch;
it will not be possible to unlock them by
pressing button
A-fig. 72
located on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking on,
pulling the internal handle of one of the
front doors will unlock that door. Indi-
vidual doors can be unlocked by pulling
the internal handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-
ever, possible to lock the doors manually.
After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, all
doors will be centrally locked automati-
cally if the setup menu function has been
selected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-
play” in this section).
Once the dead lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to
open the doors from inside the vehi-
cle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote
control battery is flat, the system can
be disengaged only by inserting the
key in either of the door locks as de-
scribed previously: in this case the de-
vice remains active only for the rear
doors. DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒
interior handles;
❒
locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger com-
partment if there has been a break-in at-
tempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the
best possible protection against break-in
attempts. We recommend engaging it
whenever the vehicle is parked and left un-
attended.Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door by briefly pressing
the remote control button
Áfig. 70twice.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes
of the direction indicators and a flash of
the LED on button
A-fig. 72
on the dash-
board.
If one or more of the doors is not closed
correctly, the dead lock device will not ac-
tivate, thus preventing a person from get-
ting stuck inside the passenger compart-
ment by entering the car through, and
then closing, the open door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒
when opening the driver’s door using
the key without remote control;
❒
when unlocking doors using the remote
control;
❒
when turning the ignition key to MAR.

Do not take unnecessary
risks, even if your vehicle is
fitted with this system. Your driving
style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible for
road safety.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect conditions
and, above all, of the type, brand and size
recommended.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR system
will be automatically switched off and
warning light
á
will appear permanently
on the instrument panel along with a mes-
sage on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) (see
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD (European On Board Diagno-
sis) system allows continuous diagnostics
of the emission-related components of the
car.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on theU
warning light on the instrument panel
(together with a relevant message in the
multifunction display, for versions/mar-
kets, where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section), when these
components are no longer in peak con-
dition.
The goal of the system is to:
❒
keep the system efficiency under con-
trol;
❒
warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒
warn of the need to replace non-per-
forming components.
The system also has a connector that can
be interfaced with appropriate equipment,
which makes it possible to read the er-
ror codes stored in the control unit, to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis. This
check can also be carried out by traffic
authorities.IMPORTANT After resolving the prob-
lem, to check the system completely, Fi-
at Dealerships are obliged to run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which
may call for a long journey.
If, when the ignition key is
turned to the MAR position,
the Uwarning light either
does not come on or, when
driving, it comes on permanently or
flashes (along with a message in the
multifunction display for versions/mar -
kets, where provided), contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. The
operation of the Uwarning light may
be checked by traffic police using ap-
propriate equipment. Follow the laws
in force in the country where you are
driving.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering
system is indicated by instrument panel
warning light
g
coming on together with
a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-
tors independent of the electric power
steering could cause the
g
warning light
in the instrument panel to come on.
In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds
and then restart the car. If the warning
light
g
is still on, along with the message
on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), contact
a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT The steering may become
stiffer during parking manoeuvres that re-
quire a lot of turns of the wheel. This is
normal and is caused by the electric con-
trol motor overheating protection system.
No repairs are needed. The power steer-
ing system will start working properly
again the next time the car is used.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g. in-
stallation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the car failing to com-
ply with regulations.
WARNING
Before servicing the car,
switch off the engine and re-
move the key from the ignition to ac-
tivate the steering lock. This is espe-
cially important when the car wheels
are not touching the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the en-
gine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric
power steering.

IMPORTANT
Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the car is
switched off and the key is in the OFF
position. Follow the instructions on
the plate near the front crossmember
fig. 105. It is advisable to extract the
key when there are other people in
the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been re-
moved or turned to the OFF position.
During refuelling operations, it is nec-
essary to make sure that the car is off
with the ignition key in the OFF po-
sition.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised
transmission, if the engine
cuts out automatically on a gradient,
it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or
(-) without releasing the brake pedal.
For vehicles with Dualogic transmis-
sion, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out au-
tomatically whilst on a hill, it is ad-
visable to restart it by moving the
gear lever towards (+) or towards (-)
without releasing the brake pedal to
make the Hill Holder function –
which is active only when the engine
is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise cli-
mate comfort, the Start&Stop
system can be disabled to allow con-
tinuous operation of the climate con-
trol system.
