ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the previously described
remote control functions, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse
box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
unauthorised opening of a door, the bonnet, the
tailgate or a sliding side door (if present)
(perimeter protection)
unauthorized operation of the starting device (key
turned on using a key that is not enabled)
cutting of the battery leads
moving presence inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection)
anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
Volumetric and antilifting protections are disabled by
pressing the control button installed on the front
dashboard (see paragraph "Antilift protections).IMPORTANT The engine immobilizer function is
ensured by the Fiat CODE which is automatically
activated when the key is extracted from the ignition.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
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 button
.
Except for some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the turning on of the
alarm: if a fault is detected, the system produces
another acoustic signal.
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
,
check that all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are
closed correctly; then switch the alarm back on by
pressing
.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly shut, it will
be excluded from the testing by the alarm system.
A fault has occurred in system operation if the alarm
produces an acoustic signal even when the doors,
bonnet and boot are correctly closed. Go to 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 configured to comply with
the regulations existing in different countries.
