GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.KEYS....................13

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.
The keyless operation system is
carried together with a communicationsdevice such as a cellular phone or radio
set, or with an electronic device such as
a personal computer.
The keyless operation key is touching
or covered by a metal object.
A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
When the keyless operation key
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
battery”.
NOTE Because the keyless operation
key continually receives signals, strong
radio wave reception could affect
battery wear. Do not leave the key near
a TV, personal computer, or other
electronic device.Operating range of the keyless
operation system
If you are carrying the keyless operation
key, enter the operating range of the
keyless operation system, and press
the driver’s or front passenger’s door
lock/unlock switch, the ID code for your
key is verified.
You can lock and unlock the doors,
start the engine and change the
operation mode only if the ID codes of
your keyless operation key and the
vehicle match.
NOTE If the keyless operation key
battery is wearing out or there are
strong electromagnetic waves or noise
present, the operating range may
become smaller and operation may
become unstable.
Operating range for locking and
unlocking the doors
The operating range is approximately
70 cm from the driver’s or front
passenger’s door lock/unlock switch.
NOTE Locking and unlocking operate
only when you press a door switch that
detects the keyless operation key.
NOTE Operation may not be possible if
you are too close to the front door, door
window.
NOTE Even if the keyless operation key
is within 70 cm of the driver’s or front
passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, if
the key is near to the ground or high
up, the system may not operate.
17
59)With the ignition switch or the
operation mode in ON and the lever in the
“AUTO” position, the wipers may
automatically operate in the situations
described below. If your hands get
trapped, you could suffer injuries or the
wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, or move
lever to the “OFF” position to deactivate
the rain sensor: when cleaning the outside
surface of the windscreen, if you touch or
wipe with a cloth on top of the rain sensor;
when using an automatic car wash; when a
physical shock is applied to the windscreen
or to the rain sensor.
IMPORTANT
17)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.

NOTE On vehicles with air conditioning,
the cool air from the ventilators may
appear as a mist. This is due to moist
air being suddenly cooled by the air
conditioning. This will clear after a few
moments.
NOTE Be careful not to spill beverages,
etc., into the ventilators. Doing so might
cause the air conditioner not to function
normally.Mode selection
To change the position and amount of
air flowing from the ventilators, turn the
mode selection dial (refer to “Mode
selection dial”). On vehicles with the
automatic climate control air
conditioner, press the MODE switch or
demister switch (refer to “Mode switch”
and “Demister switch”).
The next several illustrations show the
different quantity of air coming from the
ventilators.
