KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 5:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio,
central door locking system, alarm,
etc.) can work.
MAR: driving position. All electric
devices can operate.
AVV: engine starting. The ignition
device is fitted with a 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
Activation
When the device is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Turning off
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON
4)
WARNING
4)Never extract the key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed. 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.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle. It
is automatically activated when the
key is removed from the ignition device.
Each time the vehicle is started turning
the ignition key toMAR-ON, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
If, during ignition, the code is not
correctly recognised, the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR;ifthe
lock continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the
system's control unit. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to 8)
stored with a code.

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.
1)
WARNING
1)The electronic components inside the
key may be damaged if the key is
subjected to strong shocks.
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.
IMPORTANT The engine stop function
is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is extracted from the
ignition switch.
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
.
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
.

CLIMATIC COMFORT
Knob D enables the air introduced into
the vehicle to reach all areas of the
passenger compartment through five
distribution options:
delivers air from central and side
vents
warms the feet and keeps the face
cool (bi-level function)
warms up the passenger
compartment faster
warms up the passenger
compartment and demists the
windscreen at the same time
demists and defrosts the
windscreen and front side
windows.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device warms up the passenger
compartment more quickly when it
is very cold and the engine coolant
temperature is low.
The additional heater comes on
automatically when the engine is
started, if knob A is turned to the last
red sector and the fan (knob C) is
at least at the first speed level.
The additional heater turns off
automatically after the required comfort
conditions are achieved.IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on
if the battery voltage is too low.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses R134a
or R1234yf refrigerant compatible with
the regulations in force in the countries
where the vehicle is sold. When charging,
only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine
compartment. The use of other coolants
affects the efficiency and condition of
the system. The lubricant used for the
compressor is also strictly linked to the
type of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
ELECTRIC FRONT
WINDOWS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
There are buttons fig. 43 on the driver
side door panel trim which control
the following functions, with the ignition
key turned to MAR:
TO: Opening/closing of left-hand
window
B: Opening/closing of right-hand
window
Push button A or B to open the
appropriate window.
Lift button A or B to close the
appropriate window.
When one of the two buttons is
pressed briefly, the window moves in
stages; if the button is held down,
"continuous automatic" operation is
activated both for closing and opening.
Press button A or B again to stop the
window in its current position.
The electric windows are fitted with a
security system (for versions/markets,
where provided) that can detect the
presence of an obstacle whilst the
window is closing; when this happens,
the system kicks in and the movement
of the glass is immediately reversed.
