Activation of thewarning light while
driving
If thewarning light (or symbol in
the display) comes on, this means
that the system is running a self-
diagnosis test (caused, for example, by
a voltage drop). When you stop for
the first time, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR: the warning light
will
not light up if no faults are detected.
If the warning light(or symbol on
the display) stays on, repeat the
procedure described above leaving the
key at STOP for longer than 30
seconds. If the problem persists,
contact the Fiat Dealership.
The code is not recognised if the
warning light
(or symbol on the
display) stays on. In this case, turn the
key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is
still locked, try again with the other keys
that come with the vehicle. If you still
cannot start the engine, perform the
emergency start procedure (see
chapter “In an emergency”) and then
contact the Fiat Dealership.

ALARM

The alarm, in addition to all the
previously described remote control
functions, is controlled by the receiver

With the exception of some markets,
the system emits an acoustic signal
("beep") and activates door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the
turning on of the alarm: if a fault is
detected, the system produces another
acoustic signal after approximately 4
seconds from switch-on.
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.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.

on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
SECURING YOUR LOAD
Hooks (various number, according to
version) are fixed to the floor for easy
securing load.
Cargo versions fig. 54;
Combi versions fig. 55.
LOADING ADVICE
Some simple suggestions can improve
driving safety, comfort and vehicle
duration: - distribute the load evenly
over the platform: if it must be
concentrated it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;- lastly, remember that the dynamic
behaviour of the vehicle is affected by
the transported weight: in particular, the
stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
24) 25) 26) 27)
WARNING
24)Bumpy roads and abrupt braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations for the
driver and passengers: before setting
off, secure the load tightly using the
partition and appropriate hooks, steel
cables, ropes or chains strong enough to
hold the items to be secured.
25)Even when the car is stopped on a
steep hill or side slope, opening the rear or
side doors could cause unsecured goods
to fall out.
26)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions
and only use a can that is type-approved
and properly secured to the load
anchorage eyebolts. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the
same.
27)Each of these must be strictly observed
and MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED in any
case. In particular, ensure that you never
exceed the maximum permitted weights on
the front and rear axles when arranging
the load on the vehicle (particularly if the
vehicle is equipped with a specific trim
level).
