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.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 11:
STOP: engine off, key extractable, steering
locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio,
central door locking system, alarm, etc.) can work.
MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can
work.
AVV: starting the engine. The ignition switch is
fitted with an electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn
the steering wheel until it locks.Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key to MAR.
WARNING
Never extract the key while the vehicle
is moving.The steering wheel should lock
automatically as soon as it is turned.This also
applies to cases in which the vehicle is towed. It
is absolutely forbidden to carr y out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
badly affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty and also result in the car failing
to comply with regulations.

“Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset .
Values displayed
Range (for versions/markets where provided)
This value shows the distance that the car can still
cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving style
is unvaried. “----”will appear on the display in
the following cases:
range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a
long time.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several
factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start
of the new journey.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel
consumption from the start of the new journey.Current consumption
This value shows the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “----” will appear
on the display if the vehicle is parked with the engine
running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the
overall time elapsed since the start of a new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information, the Trip
computer displays "----" in place of the value. When
normal operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is resumed, without
either zeroing the values displayed prior to the
problem, or starting a new journey.
Control TRIP button
The TRIP button is located at the end of the right
stalk fig. 22. With the ignition key turned to
MAR-ON, this button allows you to view the
previously described values and also zero them to
begin a new journey:
press briefly to display the different values;
long push to reset and then start a new journey.
This begins after a reset:

It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent
the introduction of polluted air.
