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

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.
