2014 FIAT QUBO steering

DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during a long
storage), simply lock the vehicle by turning the
metal insert of the key with remote control in the
lock. In this case, the car will not be protected
by the alarm system, 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 batteries in the remote control
key are run down or if the system is faulty, the
key must be inserted in the ignition and turned to
the ON position to switch the alarm off.
IGNITION SWITCHThe key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 7:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) can work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can
work.
❒AVV: starting the engine. The ignition switch is
fitted with an electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.

WINDOW CLEANINGThe right stalk fig. 39 controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window wiper/washer
operation (for versions/markets, where provided).
WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER
This only operates with the ignition turned to MAR.
The right stalk can assume five different positions:
windscreen wiper still.intermittent operation.continuous slow flick.continuous fast flick.
Move the stalk to position fig. 39 (unstable) to limit
operation to the time for which the stalk is held
in this position.
When released, the stalk will return to its default
position and the wiper will be automatically stopped.With the twist switch at
, the windscreen wiper
will automatically adapt to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers working, if reverse gear
is engaged, the rear window wiper is automatically
activated.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress, prompting intervention from the motor
protection which prevents operation for a few
seconds. Contact the Fiat Dealership if operation
is not restored.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (temporary
position) to operate the windscreen washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate
the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds completes
the wiping cycle.

FRONT AIRBAGSThe vehicle is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) are designed to protect
the front-seat occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash (side-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is therefore
not a sign of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate, if
necessary, in the event of a head-on crash.The bag will inflate instantaneously, placing itself
between the front occupant's body and the
structures which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement for, but
rather a complement to, the seat belts, which should
be worn at all times as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt will move forward and come into contact with
the bag which is still inflating. The protection offered
by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒head-on impacts against highly deformable objects
that do not affect the front surface of the vehicle
(e.g. front wing hitting a guard rail);
❒jamming of the vehicle underneath other vehicles
or protective barriers (e.g. underneath a truck or
a guard rail); in this case, the bags would offer
no additional protection with respect to the seat
belt and their deployment is unnecessary. Lack
of deployment in such cases is consequently not
the sign of a fault.
