2016 FIAT FREEMONT sensor

PREMIUM SECURITY SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Premium Security system monitors the doors,
hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry and the
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor
monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers the security sys-
tem, the headlights will turn on, the alarm will sound
and the turn signal and side repeater lights will flash for
29 seconds, and then the lights will continue to flash for
an additional 5 seconds. The system will repeat this
sequence for up to 8 security violations in any mode
(door ajar, motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having to
rearm the system. At the end of any particular trigger
event, the lights will continue to flash for 26 seconds.TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the theft alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF".
(refer to "Starting Procedures" in "Starting And
Driving" for further information).
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push LOCK on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
• Push the LOCK button on the exterior Passive
Entry Door Handle with a valid Key Fob available in
the same exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-
Go™" in "Knowing Your Vehicle" for further infor-
mation).
• Push the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
• Once the security system is armed, it remains in that state until you disarm it by following either of the
disarming procedures described. If a power loss oc-
curs after arming the system, you must disarm the
system after restoring power to prevent alarm acti-
vation.

• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector)actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm
the security system. If you prefer, you can turn OFF
the ultrasonic intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor
when arming the security system. To do so, push the
LOCK button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 5 seconds of arming the system (while the
Vehicle Security Light is flashing rapidly).
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
• Push the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone
(refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in "Knowing Your
Vehicle" for further information).
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position by pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/
Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in
the vehicle). NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button
on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The system will not arm if you lock the doors using the
manual door lock plunger.

Compass Settings
• Variance (for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the Variance button on the touchscreen to
change this display. Compass Variance is the difference
between Magnetic North and Geographic North. To
compensate for the differences the variance should be
set for the zone where the vehicle is driven, per the
zone map. Once properly set, the compass will auto-
matically compensate for the differences, and provide
the most accurate compass heading.NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top of
the instrument panel, such as iPod's, Mobile Phones,
Laptops and Radar Detectors. This is where the com-
pass module is located, and it can cause interference
with the compass sensor, and it may give false readings.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each
of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake
pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine
power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration
and stability. A feature of the TCS system, Brake Lim-
ited Differential (BLD), functions similar to a limited
slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a
driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning
faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of
the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque
to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This
feature remains active even if TCS and ESC are in the
“Partial Off ” mode. Refer to “Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC)” for further information.
ELECTRONIC ROLL MITIGATION (ERM)
This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and the
speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the
rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle's
speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it
then applies the appropriate brake and may also reduce
engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will
occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or
evasive driving maneuvers. ERM can only reduce the
chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive
driving maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due toother factors, such as road conditions, leaving the
roadway, or striking objects or other vehicles.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading,
road c on

ditions, and driving conditions,
influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover
may occur. ERM cannot prevent all wheel lift or
rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the
roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.The
capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the user's safety
or the safety of others.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
This system enhances directional control and stability
of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC
corrects for over-steering and under-steering the ve-
hicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel.
Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle
maintain the desired path.
The ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the
path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and
compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the
actual path does not match the intended path, the ESC

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (TSC)
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces-
sively swaying trailer. TSC activates automatically once
the excessively swaying trailer is recognized. When
TSC is functioning, the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” will flash, the engine power will be
reduced, and you will feel the brake being applied to
individual wheels in an attempt to stop the trailer from
swaying.
NOTE:The TSC is disabled when the ESC system is in
the “Partial Off ” mode.
WARNING!
• TSC cannot stop all trailers from
s w

aying. Always use caution when tow-
ing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recom-
mendations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in “Starting
and Driving” for further information.
• If TSC activates while towing a trailer, stop the
vehicle at the nearest safe location and adjust
the trailer load to eliminate the trailer sway.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in an
accident or serious personal injury.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM —
OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and auto-
matic transmission control systems. When these sys-
tems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current government regu-
lations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II
system will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light”
(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service technician in making
repairs. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see your authorized dealer for
service as soon as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause further damage to the emis-
sion control system. It could also affect
fuel economy and driveability.The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests can be per-
formed.
• If the MIL is flashing while the engine is running,
severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if
the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning
limit for any reason, including low temperature effects
and natural pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire
pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not
turn off until the tire pressure is at or above the
recommended cold placard pressure. Once the low
tire pressure warning (Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light) illuminates, you must increase the tire pres-
sure to the recommended cold placard pressure in
order for the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light to
turn off.
NOTE:When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off once the
system receives the updated tire pressures. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.• The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type,
and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended
that you take your vehicle to an authorized deal-
ership to have your sensor function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure,
always reinstall the valve stem cap.This will pre-
vent moisture and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage theTire Pressure Moni-
toring Sensor.

NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire careand maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire
failure or condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
• Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte- nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pres- sure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire
pressure in the tire. BASE SYSTEM
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wire-
less technology with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem,
transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of
the four active road tires. Should this occur, you should
stop as soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of
each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure value.
