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 toMAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control Module
to deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.

INTRODUCTION
The automatic climate control system
adjusts the temperature, the quantity
and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The
temperature control is based on the
"equivalent temperature": in other
words, the system continuously works
to keep the comfort level inside the
vehicle constant and to compensate for
possible variations in outside
conditions, including the sun's rays
detected by a dedicated sensor. The
automatically controlled parameters
and functions are:
air temperature at the vents;
air distribution at the vents;
fan speed (continuous variation of
the air flow);
compressor activation (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air);
air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually.
In other words, you may select one or
more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic
control of the manually changed
functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only
for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk
of misting).Manual selections will always take
priority over automatic settings and will
be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by
pressing the AUTO button again except
for the cases in which the system will
intervene for particular, safety-related
reasons. You can adjust one function
manually without affecting the
automatic control of the others.
The temperature of the air sent is
always controlled automatically,
depending on the temperature set in
the display (except when the system is
off or in certain conditions when the
compressor is switched off).
The system allows the following
parameters and functions to be set or
altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air
distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast
defrosting/demisting function; air
recirculation; switching off the system.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
introduced into the passenger
compartment and will manage the
recirculation function and the
compressor engagement. 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.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR position and the dipped
beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is
laden, raising the beam. The beams
must therefore be realigned in this case.
Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press the
andfig. 110 buttons
on the control panel to adjust.
The display located on the instrument
panel provides a visual indication of the
adjustment position.
Position 0 - one or two people in the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the
luggage compartment.Position 3 - driver + maximum
permitted load stowed in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the light beam
alignment every time the load
transported changes.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. In countries where vehicles
are driven on the other side of the
road, the beams are aligned by
applying a specially designed adhesive
film in order not to dazzle the vehicles
travelling in the opposite direction.
Such film is provided by Lineaccessori
Fiat and is available at Fiat Dealerships.

BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP
emergency braking
assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system (which cannot be
deactivated) recognises emergency
braking conditions according to the
speed of operation of the brake pedal
and provides an additional hydraulic
braking pressure to support that
provided by the driver. This allows
faster and more powerful operation of
the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the
versions equipped with ESP, in the
event of ESC system failure (indicated
by the
warning light coming on
together with a message in the
multifunction display, where provided).
WARNING
53)When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
54)If the ABS system intervenes, this
indicates that the traction of the tyres on
the road is nearing its limit. You must slow
down to a speed compatible with the
available traction.55)The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
56)If only the
instrument panel
warning light comes on (with a message in
the multifunction display on some
versions), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Any
loss of fluid will affect the brake system
functionality, both conventional and
ant-lock wheels.
ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain
directional control.
The ESC system is therefore
particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces change.
The MSR system (adjustment of
the engine braking torque during gear
changes) and the HBA system
(automatic increase in the braking
pressure during emergency braking)
are present with ESC, ASR and
Hill Holder systems (for
versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of the
warning light in the instrument panel,
to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.
101

If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not
leave the ignition key turned to MAR.
Always remove the key when you leave
the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition
key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
WARNING
96)The vehicle should be secured after
several clicks of the lever. If it is not,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
adjusted.
USING THE
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the gear
lever A-fig. 127 into the required
position (the diagram is shown on the
gear knob fig. 141).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
ring B under the knob and at the same
time move the gear lever to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the
diagram).
97)
21)
WARNING
97)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. Therefore, the floor
area underneath the pedal unit must not
be obstructed in any way. Ensure that the
floor mat is always laid flat and does not
interfere with use of the pedals.
WARNING
21)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the internal gearbox components.
The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control
could cut in by interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
