SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols
indicate precautions to be observed
when using this component. Under
the bonnet there is also a label
that summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases
protection against attempted
theft of the vehicle. It is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the
signal emitted during ignition by
an antenna built into the ignition
device. The signal, which
changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by
means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started
turning the ignition key to
MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control
Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system
control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
10
KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR-ON;if
the lock continues, try with the
other keys provided with the
vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if
you still cannot start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by
the system's control unit. Contact
the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the
code.
Activation of
warning light while
driving
❒If the warning lightswitches
on, this means that the system
is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop).
❒If the warning lightstays on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside
the key may be damaged if the
key is subjected to sharp knocks.
In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic
devices inside the key, it should
never be exposed to direct
sunlight.
THE KEYS
KEY WITHOUT REMOTE
CONTROL
The metal insert A fig. 5 of the key
is fixed.
The key operates:
❒the ignition switch;
❒the door lock;
❒opening and closing of the fuel tank
cap.
KEY WITH REMOTE
CONTROL
The metal insert A fig.6-fig.7is
retractable and it operates:
❒the ignition switch;
❒the door lock;
5F1A0008
11

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be
turned back to STOP if the engine
will not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.
2) 3) 4) 5)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as
you turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON
WARNING
2) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
3) Always remove the key when you
leave your vehicle to prevent
someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is
parked uphill or reverse gear if the
vehicle is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
vehicle.4) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will lock as soon as it is
turned. This also applies to cases
in which the vehicle is towed.
5) Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried
out involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft
device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance
with type-approval requirements.

USING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be started in
different ways, but it is advisable to
start by pressing the AUTO button
and then turning the knob to set
the temperature required on the
display. The system will start
running automatically in this way
and the set temperature will be
reached as quickly as possible. The
system will adjust the temperature,
the quantity and the distribution
of the air sent into the passenger
compartment and, by managing
the recirculation function, the
activation of the compressor.
During fully automatic operation,
the only manual intervention
required is the possible activation of
the following functions:
❒air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
❒
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, rear window and
external rear view mirrors.
During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the
relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change its
settings to adjust to the new
requirements. During fully automatic
operation (FULL AUTO), the word
FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or
engagement of the compressor
and/or recirculation settings are
changed. In this way, the functions
will switch from automatic to
manual control until the AUTO
button is pressed again. With one
or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the
intake air temperature continues to
be managed automatically, except
with the compressor switched off: if
this is the case, the temperature
of the air sent into the passenger
compartment cannot be lower than
that of the outside air.CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
lower the requested temperature in
the passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on
the display.
Turn the knob either fully to the right
or fully to the left to the extreme HI
or LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling
functions on:
❒HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature
knob clockwise beyond the
maximum value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat
up the passenger compartment
by exploiting the system's potential
to the full. In this event, the system
stops controlling the temperature
automatically and sets the air
mixing to maximum heating. The air
speed and distribution are fixed.
37

These operating conditions are
obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.
IMPORTANT The engagement of
the air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it
on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility
of the windows misting inside,
especially if the climate control
compressor is off.
To prevent the windows from
misting up, the recirculation is
forced off (i.e. air is drawn in from
the outside) when the outside
temperature is cold.
It is advisable not to use the air
recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low to
prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.Climate control
compressor
enablement/off button
(F)
Press button
to switch the
climate control compressor off (if
on). The icon on the display will go
out.
Press the button when the LED is
off to restore automatic system
control of compressor activation.
The icon will light up on the display.
The system will switch recirculation
off when the compressor is
switched off to prevent windows
from misting up. Although the
system is capable of maintaining
the required temperature, the word
FULL will disappear from the
display. If, on the other hand, it is
no longer capable of maintaining
the temperature, the letters flash
and the word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduce air
cooler than ambient temperature
into the passenger compartment.
Furthermore, in certain conditions,
the windows could mist up rapidly
because the air is not dehumidified.The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press thebutton again
(in this case, the system will only
work as a heater) or press the
AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off,
if the outside temperature is higher
than the one set, the system is
not capable of satisfying this
request. This is signalled by the
target temperature flashing, after
which the word AUTO goes out.
With the climate control
compressor off, the fan speed can
be set to zero manually (no bar
shown).
With the compressor enabled and
the engine started, the fan speed
may be reduced to the minimum
setting (only one bar shown).
