GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) fig. 26 will flash
orange when there is a problem or
malfunction in the keyless operation
system. Never drive if the indicator lamp on
the engine switch is flashing orange.
Immediately contact your Fiat Dealership.
5)If the engine switch operation is not
smooth and feels like it is sticking, do not
operate the switch. Immediately contact
your Fiat Dealership.
6)When the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the
operation mode in ON or ACC for a long
time when the engine is not running may
cause the battery to be discharged, making
it impossible to start the engine, lock and
unlock the steering wheel.7)When the battery is disconnected, the
current operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before
disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the
operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you
are not sure which operation mode the
vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
8)The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless
operation key is not detected to be in the
vehicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine and
changing the operation mode”.
9)When there is the keyless operation key
in the vehicle and the operation mode isn’t

seconds.NOTE The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances cause the driver’s
door window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.
NOTE If the safety mechanism is
activated five or more times in a row,
the safety mechanism will be cancelled
and the door window will not close
correctly. In such a case, the following
procedure should be implemented to
rectify this situation. If the window is

control, make sure that nothing is capable
of being trapped (head, hand, finger, etc.).
71)Never leave the vehicle without
removing the key. Never leave a child (or
other person who might not be capable of
safe operation of the electric window
control) in the vehicle alone.
72)A child may tamper with the switch at
the risk of its hands or head being trapped
in the window.
73)When driving with a child in the vehicle,
please press the window lock switch to
disable the passenger’s switches.
74)If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious injury could result.
75)The safety mechanism is cancelled just
before the window is fully closed. This
allows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no
fingers are trapped in the window.
