REQUEST FOR
ADDITIONAL REMOTE
CONTROLS
The system can acknowledge up to 8
remote controls. Should a new remote
control be necessary, contact a Fiat
Dealership, taking a personal identity
document and the vehicle ownership
documents with you.DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents the
opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment if there has
been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window
has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers
the best possible protection against
break in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
2) 3)
Turning the device on
The system is automatically enabled on
all the doors by pressing button
twice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to
let you know that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not
perfectly shut, the dead lock device will
not be activated, thus preventing a
person getting into the car through the
open door and, on shutting, it,
remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.
Turning the device off
The system is disabled automatically on
every door when:
by unlocking the doors;
by turning the ignition key to the
MAR position.
WARNING
1)Button B should only be pressed when
the key is away from the body, in particular
from the eyes and from objects that can
be spoilt (e.g. clothes). Do not leave the
key unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
handled, e.g. by a child.
2)Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the
system please therefore check that there is
no one left on board.
3)If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can be engaged by inserting the
metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only
remains active for the rear doors.
WARNING
1)Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.

can do it in conditions of safety.
6)The right sliding side door cannot be
opened with the fuel flap open during
refuelling.
7)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A

8)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that
the latch is engaged.
9)Always use this device when carrying
children.
10)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks
or a strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
11)When closing, shut the right-hand door
2 fig. 13fully before you close the left-hand
door 1 fig. 13. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the "Traction Plus"
system, press the button T+ fig. 80:
the LED on the button switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front, side airbag (for versions/
markets, where provided).
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All the seats in the vehicle are equipped
with seat belts with three anchoring
points and a retractor.
The reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt will
lock to reduce the risk of impact inside
the passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local
laws in force in relation to the use of the
seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 81 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.

WARNING
92)Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
93)The vehicle should be secured after
several clicks of the lever. If it is not,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
adjusted.
94)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge
or stone.
WHEN PARKED
95)
Proceed as follows when parking and
leaving the vehicle:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the key in the MAR
position to prevent the battery from
running down.
Versions with COMFORT-MATIC
transmission
To park safely, keeping a foot on the
brake pedal, the 1
stor reverse (R) gear
must be engaged and, in case of
parking uphills/downhills, the
handbrake must be engaged.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the vehicle
with the transmission in neutral (N)
or, on versions equipped with automatic
(Comfort matic) transmission, before
putting the shift lever in thePposition.IMPORTANT NOTES
With the vehicle stationary and a
gear engaged, always keep the brake
pedal pressed until you decide to
set off, then release the brake and
accelerate gently;
during prolonged stops with the
engine running, it is advisable to keep
the gearbox in neutral (N);
In order to safeguard the efficiency
of the clutch, do not use the
accelerator to keep the vehicle
stationary (e.g. when stopped on an
incline);
the clutch could overheat and be
damaged; use the brake pedal and only
operate the accelerator pedal when
you decide to set off;
only use second gear when you
need greater control for starting
manoeuvres on surfaces with poor grip;
if, with reverse gear (R) engaged,
you have to engage first gear or vice
versa, only do this when the vehicle is
completely stationary and with the
brake pedal pressed;
