2015 FIAT FREEMONT brake light

KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and an emergency key, which stores
in the rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle
should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob go
dead. The emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you when
valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical
latch on the side of the Key Fob sideways with your
thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.
(fig. 5)
NOTE:You can insert the double-sided emergency
key into the lock cylinders with either side up.
IGNITION OR ACCESSORY ON MESSAGE
Opening the driver's door when the ignition is in ACC
or ON (engine not running), a chime will sound to
remind you to cycle the ignition to OFF. In addition to
the chime, the ignition or accessory on message will
display in the cluster.
NOTE: With the Uconnect® system, the power win-
dow switches, radio, power sunroof (for versions/
markets, where provided), and power outlets will re-
main active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is
cycled to the OFF position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature. The time for this feature is
programmable. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in
“Knowing Your Vehicle” for further information.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear se-
lector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle
or in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key Fob from
vehicle, cycle the ignition OFF and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system prevents unau-
thorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Op-
eration is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle
is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and a
RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN position, the
Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for
a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a problem with the
electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after
the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an
invalid Key Fob to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off after
two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10
seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the elec-
tronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION
CENTER (EVIC) DISPLAYS
The EVIC display consists of three sections:
1. The top line where compass direction, odometerline and outside temperature are displayed.
2. The main display area where the menus and pop up messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section below the odometer line.
The main display area will normally display the main
menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also displays "pop up"
messages that consist of approximately 60 possible
warning or information messages. These pop up mes-
sages fall into several categories:
• Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most
of the messages of this type are then stored (as long as
the condition that activated it remains active) and can
be reviewed from the "Messages" main menu item. As
long as there is a stored message, an "i" will be displayed
in the EVIC's compass/outside temp line. Examples of
this message type are "Right Front Turn Signal Lamp
Out" and "Low Tire Pressure". • Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the
condition that activated the message is cleared. Ex-
amples of this message type are "Turn Signal On" (if a
turn signal is left on) and "Lights On" (if driver leaves
the vehicle).
• Unstored Messages Until RUN
This message type is displayed until the ignition is in the
RUN state. Example of this message type is "Press
Brake Pedal and Push Button to Start".
• Five Second Unstored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen.
Examples of this message type are "Memory System
Unavailable - Not in Park" and "Automatic High Beams
On".
The Reconfigurable Telltales section is divided into the
white telltales area on the right, amber telltales in the
middle, and red telltales on the left.
When the appropriate conditions exist, the EVIC dis-
plays the following messages:
Turn Signal On (with a continuous warning chime if the
vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km with either turn
signal on)

WARNING!
• For personal security and safety in the
e v

ent of a collision, lock the vehicle
doors before you drive as well as when you park
and leave the vehicle.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
Key Fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may
cause severe personal injuries or death.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle,
or in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle. POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each front door trim
panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate.
(fig. 92)
If you press the power door lock switch while the
ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, and any
front door is open, the power locks will not operate.
This prevents you from accidentally locking the Key
Fob in the vehicle. Cycling the ignition to the OFF
position or closing the door will allow the locks to
operate. If a door is open, and the ignition is in the
ACC or ON/RUN position, a chime will sound as a
reminder to turn the ignition OFF.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic
brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic
systems loses normal capability, the remaining system
will still function. However, there will be some loss of
overall braking effectiveness. This will be evident by
increased pedal travel during application and greater
pedal force required to slow or stop the vehicle. In
addition, if the malfunction is caused by a leak in the
hydraulic system, the “Brake System Warning Light”
will turn on as the brake fluid level drops in the master
cylinder.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,
repeated brake applications with the engine OFF) the
brakes will still function. However, the effort required
to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that
required with the power system operating.
WARNING!
• Riding the brakes can lead to brake
f ailure

and possibly a collision. Driving
with your foot resting or riding on the brake
pedal can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and possible
brake damage.You would not have your full brak-
ing capacity in an emergency.
• Driving a vehicle with the “Brake Warning
Light” on is dangerous. A significant decrease in
braking performance or vehicle stability during
braking may occur. It will take you longer to stop
the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to
control. You could have a collision. Have the ve-
hicle checked immediately.
