KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The booklet 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 what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 8

5)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.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote
control functions described previously,
is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
Activation
With the doors and bonnet closed and
the ignition key either turned to STOP
or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and
press and release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system
produces an acoustic signal (beep) and
enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is
preceded by an self-diagnosis stage: if
a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by
pressing the "release doors/release
load compartment" button, check that
the doors and bonnet are properly
closed and turn the alarm back on by
pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly
shut, it will be excluded from the testing
by the alarm system.If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors and bonnet are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come
on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
Turning off
Press the door release/load
compartment release button on the key
with remote control.
The following operations are performed
(excluding some markets):
direction indicators flash twice;
there are two short acoustic signals
(beeps);
doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not switch
off when the central opening is
activated using the metal insert in the
key.
11
Disabling
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.
during a long period of inactivity), simply
lock the vehicle by turning the metal
insert of the key with remote control in
the lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key
with the remote control run out or
the system fails, the alarm can
be switched off by placing the key in
the ignition switch and turning it to
MAR-ON.DOORS
DOOR CENTRAL
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
Locking from the outside
With the doors closed, press the button
on the remote control fig. 4 - fig. 5
or insert the metal insert A into the
driver's door lock and then turn it. The
doors will only be locked if all doors
are shut.
To extract the metal insert, press button
B.
If one or more of the doors is open after
the
button on the remote control is
pressed, the direction indicators and
the LED on the button A fig. 7 will flash
quickly for about three seconds. With
the function on, the button A fig. 7
is disabled.
Pressing the button
on the remote
control twice rapidly turns on the dead
lock device (see the "Dead lock device"
paragraph).
Door unlocking from the outside
Briefly press the
fig. 4 orfig.
5 button, depending on the version, to
remotely unlock the front doors, turn on
the timed interior courtesy lights and
flash the direction indicators twice.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
What it means What to do
amberVEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAILURE - FIAT
CODE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light will
flash only once and then switch off.
When the warning light comes on constantly, with key
at MAR-ON, this indicates:
a potential failure (refer to "The Fiat CODE system"
in the chapter "Knowing your vehicle").
a possible break-in attempt with an alarm; in this
case the warning light switches off after approximately
10 seconds.
The warning light
will blink with the engine running
to indicate that the vehicle is not protected by the
engine immobiliser.Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys stored in
the memory.
amberREAR FOG LIGHTS
The warning light comes on when the rear fog lights
are turned on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
PROLONGED
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for longer than one month, the following
precautions must be taken:
park the vehicle indoors in a dry
and, if possible, well-ventilated place;
engage a gear;
check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
disconnect the negative battery
terminal; if the vehicle is equipped with
a battery disconnection function
(disconnector), see the description of
the procedure in the "Controls"
paragraph in the "Dashboard and
controls" section;
clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
available commercially;
sprinkle talcum powder on the
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the
glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the vehicle with a piece of
fabric or perforated plastic sheet. Do
not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the
vehicle;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard specified pressure and check
it at intervals;
do not drain the engine cooling
system.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped
with an alarm system, switch off the
vehicle alarm with the remote control.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
key is in the STOP position and the
driver side door is closed.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are
closed properly, to prevent any roof
lights from remaining on inside the
passenger's compartment;
switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine
is not running;
before carrying out any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable through the
suitable terminal;
completely tighten the battery
terminals.IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
key is in the STOP position and the
driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (this can happen already at
-10°C).
Refer to the paragraph "Car inactivity"
in "Starting and driving" if the car is
left parked for a long time.If, after buying the vehicle, you want to
install electrical accessories which
require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electrical supply,
contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate
the overall electrical consumption,
checking whether the vehicle’s electrical
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should
be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Since some of these devices continue
to consume electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run
down the battery.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if
the vehicle is parked for a long period
of 5 days, it is advisable to disconnect
the negative battery terminal to
maintain its charge.
If the vehicle is equipped with a battery
disconnection function (disconnector),
see the description of the procedure
in the "Controls" paragraph in the
"Dashboard and controls" section.
