VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle in the context of after-sales service must carry the following
label: FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised
centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This
may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the
vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without
an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle
and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Entry-N-Go system may occur.

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

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

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.

soon as it is turned. This also applies to
cases in which the vehicle is towed.
10)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried out
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty, cause serious safety
problems and also result in vehicle
non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.
