They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING

KEYS
KEYS
1)
A code number is stamped on the plate
attached to the key set; detach this
plate and store it in a safe place (not in
the vehicle) for use if you need to make
a replacement key (auxiliary key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and
convenient place, but not in the vehicle.
If your key (auxiliary key) fig. 2 is lost,
consult Fiat Dealership and have your
code number ready (1 = auxiliary key /2
= transmitter/3 = key code number
plate).
IMPORTANT Always keep a spare key
in case one is lost. If a key is lost, go to
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.IMPORTANT The driver must carry the
key to ensure the system functions
properly.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
This system uses the key buttons to
remotely lock and unlock the doors and
the boot lid, fuel-filler flap, and opens
the boot lid.
The system can start the engine without
having to take the key out of your purse
or pocket.
Note
The keyless entry system operation
may vary due to local conditions.
The keyless entry system is fully
operational (door/boot lid/fuel-filler flap
lock/unlock) when the ignition is
switched off. The system does not
operate if the ignition is switched to any
position other than off.
If the key does not operate when
pressing a button or the operational
range becomes too small, the battery
may be dead.
Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one if
the
warning light (green) flashes in
the instrument cluster. Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the warning
light/indicator light may not illuminate or
flash depending on the rate of battery
depletion.
Additional keys can be obtained at
Fiat Dealership. Up to 6 keys can be
used with the keyless functions per
vehicle. Bring all keys to Fiat Dealership
when additional keys are required.

medical devices such as pacemakers.
Before using the key near people who use
medical devices, ask the medical device
manufacturer or your physician if radio
waves from the key will affect the device.
5)Do not stop the engine while the vehicle
is moving. Stopping the engine while the
vehicle is moving for any reason other than
in an emergency is dangerous. Stopping
the engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.

details. If the advanced keyless entry
system has been deactivated, you can

depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the vehicle. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).
