KEYLESS OPERATION
SYSTEM
The keyless operation system allows
you to lock and unlock the doors, start
the engine and change the operation
mode simply by carrying the keyless
operation key with you.
The switches on the keyless operation
key can also be used as the key switch
of keyless entry system. Refer to
“Starting and stopping the engine”.
Refer to “Keyless entry system”. The
driver should always carry the keyless
operation key. This key is necessary for
locking and unlocking the doors,
starting the engine and otherwise
operating the vehicle, so before locking
and leaving the vehicle, be sure to
check that you have the keyless
operation key.
4) 5)
You can limit the possible operations of
the keyless operation system. Please
consult a Fiat Dealership.
The keyless operation key uses an
ultra-weak electromagnetic wave. In the
following cases, the keyless operation
system may not operate properly or
may be unstable.
When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a
power station, a radio/TV broadcasting
station or an airport.

battery is worn out.
When the keyless operation key is
set down in an area with strong radio
waves or noise. In such cases, use the
emergency key. Refer to “To
lock/unlock without using the keyless
operation function”.
NOTE Because the keyless operation
key receives signals in order to
communicate with the transmitters in
the vehicle, the battery continually
wears down regardless of keyless
operation key use. The battery life is
1 to 2 years, depending on usage
conditions. When the battery wears out,
replace the battery according to the
description in this manual or have it
replaced a Fiat Dealership. Refer to
“Procedure for replacing the key
