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 key is removed from the ignition
device.
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-ON, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.The 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 engine
control module.
Irregular operation
If the code has not been recognised
correctly during starting, the
warning light on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by the
corresponding message on the display
(see the “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
In this case, turn the key toSTOPand
then back toMAR; 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 a Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to 8)
stored with a code.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Turn the metal insert anticlockwise fig. 6
in the driver's side door lock to unlock
all the doors. With the battery
disconnected, access to the vehicle will
only be possible by unlocking the
driver's door using the mechanical lock.
Locking/unlocking doors from the
inside
Press the button A fig. 7 to lock the
doors and press it again to unlock
them. Locking / unlocking is centralized
(front and rear).
When the doors are locked, the LED in
button A is on and, when the button
is pressed again, all the doors are
centrally unlocked and the warning light
is switched off.
When the doors are unlocked, the LED
is off and pressing the button again
centrally locks all the doors. The doors
will be locked only if all the doors are
properly shut.Following the locking of the doors
using:
remote control
door pawl
it will not be possible to unlock using
the button A fig. 7 on the dashboard.
IMPORTANT With the central locking
on, pulling the opening lever for one of
the front doors causes the central
locking to be switched off. Individual
doors can be unlocked by pulling
the opening handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is,
however, possible to lock the doors
manually.
After exceeding 20 km/h, all the doors
will be locked automatically if the setup
menu function has been selected
(see “Multifunction display” paragraph
in this section).
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
THE LOAD
COMPARTMENT
The activation of the locking is signalled
by the LED in the button.
The LED comes on in the following
cases:
after each door lock command from
the D fig. 8 or
button on the
dashboard;
when the instrument panel is
activated;
upon opening of one of the front
doors;
when the door is locked at 20 km/h
(if activated from the menu).
The lock is turned off when one of the
load compartment doors is opened
or on a door release request (load
compartment or centralised) or
an unlocking request from the remote
control/door catch.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It is a safety device that disables
operation of the interior handles.
Operate the lock/unlock button A fig. 7
to prevent opening the doors from
inside the passenger compartment in
the event of an attempted break-in (e.g.
when a window is 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 unattended.
6)
Device activation
The device turns on automatically on all
the doors when you press the
button
on the key with remote control fig. 4
twice rapidly.
The direction indicators flash 3 times
and the LED on the button A fig. 7
among the dashboard controls flashes
to indicate that the device has been
turned on.
If one or more of the doors is not
perfectly shut, the dead lock device will
not be activated, thus preventing a
person getting into the vehicle through
the open door and, on shutting, it,
remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
if the mechanical key is turned to the
opening position in the driver's door;
by unlocking the doors using the
remote control;
by turning the ignition key to the
MAR position.

WARNING
28)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower part
of the exterior mirrors is parabolic to
increase the field of view. The reflected
image size is thus reduced and gives the
impression that the reflected item is further
away than it actually is.
29)When driving the mirrors should always
remain in position 1.

in the instrument panel.
AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM
HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically turned off when
approaching oncoming vehicles or
when following a vehicle travelling in the
same direction.
The system is enabled through the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the
position.When the main beam headlights are
turned on for the first time by pulling the
stalk, the function is enabled and the
icon is displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
corresponding blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h and
the function is activated, pulling the
stalk again to the main beam headlight
position deactivates the function.
If the driving speed is below 15 km/h
and the function is activated, the
function switches the main beam
headlights off. Pulling the stalk again to
the main beam headlight position is
interpreted as a request for the main
beam headlights to stay on, therefore
the blue warning light
on the
dashboard turns on and the main beam
headlights stay on until the speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. The function is
enabled again automatically when 40
km/h is exceeded
.
If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.
Rotate the ring to the
position fig.
