4) 5) 6) 7)
WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that
could adversely affect performance,
invalidate the warranty, cause serious
safety problems and also result in the car
not meeting type-approval requirements.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. On versions with
automatic transmission (where present),
bring the gear lever to P (Park) and turn the
ignition device to bring it to STOP. If the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope, chock
the wheels with wedges or stones. When
leaving the vehicle, always lock all the
doors by pressing the button on the key.
7)On versions with automatic transmission
(where present), it is advisable to put the
transmission in P, release the brake pedal
safely and then stop the engine to release
the key smoothly.
FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started by
turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat
Code system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The code is sent only if the Fiat Code
system control unit has acknowledged
the code received from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
symbol is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided.

If it is still not possible to start the
engine, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Activation of warning light while
driving
If thesymbol is displayed while
driving, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop).
If the display persists, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

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 air bags, side air bags and
drop down air bags (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
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor 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 reducing the
risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and 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.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tab 1
fig. 89 and insert it into the buckle 2,
until it clicks into place.On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
3fig. 89 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
72) 73)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel
mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden
braking, collisions and high-speed
bends.
Once seated, put on the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 90.
