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.

function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the

The wipers will operate once if the lever
is moved to the “AUTO” position and
the knob (C) is turned in the “+”
direction when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position or the operation
mode is in ON.
Windscreen washer
The washer fluid will be sprayed onto
the windscreen by pulling the lever
towards you. The wipers operate
automatically several times while the
washer fluid is being sprayed. On
vehicles equipped with the headlamp
washer, while the headlamps are on,
the headlamp washer will operate once
together with the windscreen washer.Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become
blocked partway through a sweep by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
wipers may temporarily stop operating
to prevent the motor from overheating.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, and then remove the ice
or other deposits. Because the wipers
will start operating again after the wiper
motor cools down, check that the
wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the
glass is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface and the blades wear out
prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The
motor may burn out if the wipers are
used with the blades frozen onto the
glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor
may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution that will
not freeze in the washer reservoir.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
WARNING
58)If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze, which may hinder visibility.
Warm the glass with the defroster or rear
window demister before using the washer.

engine warning lamp flashes, have the
system checked as soon as possible at
an authorised Fiat Dealership.
In diesel-powered vehicles, in case
cetane number (EN590) 51 or higher is
not available, use cetane number 45 or
higher.
In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality
diesel fuel can cause deposits form in
the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling. If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a
cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when
you refuel the vehicle. The additive will
break up and remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a FCA
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For
detailed, please contact the nearest
authorised Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
33)For unleaded petrol-powered vehicles,
the use of leaded fuel can result in serious
damage to the engine and catalytic
converter. Do not use the leaded fuel.
34)Do not use more than 10 %
concentration of ethanol (grain alcohol) by
volume. Use of more than 10 %
concentration may lead to damage to your
vehicle fuel system, engine, engine sensors
and exhaust system.35)Do not operate your vehicle on petrol
containing methanol. Using this type of
alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s
performance and damage critical parts of
the vehicle’s fuel system.
36)Diesel-powered vehicles to comply with
the Euro 4 and Euro 5 regulation are
designed to use only diesel fuel that meets
the EN 590 standard. Use of any other type
of diesel fuel would adversely affect the
engine’s performance and durability.
37)Your vehicle is designed to use only
diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio
diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely
affect the engine’s performance and
durability.
38)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
