FIAT CODEThe Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to MAR,
the Fiat Code system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognised as valid, the Fiat Code
system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATIONIf, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon 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.
If the
icon 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.
ALARMActivation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the direction
indicators.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted by
the Manufacturer to meet the
requirements of the various countries
where the vehicle is marketed.SWITCHING ON THE
ALARM(where provided)
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate
closed and the ignition device turned to
STOP, point the key with remote control
or electronic key towards the vehicle
and press and release the
"FIAT"
button.
For versions with electronic key, the
alarm can also be engaged by pressing
the "door lock" button, located on the
door external handle. For further
information refer to the Keyless Entry
paragraph, a few pages further on.
The system emits a visual and acoustic
signal (where provided) and enables
door locking.
With the alarm on, warning light A fig. 6
flashes on the instrument panel.

Manual locking/unlockingDoors can also be locked/unlocked by
turning device A fig. 8 integral to the
front door inner handles.

KEYLESS ENTRY(where provided)
3)
The Keyless Entry system can identify
the presence of an electronic key near
the doors and the tailgate.
The system enables the doors (or the
tailgate) to be locked/released without
pressing any button on the electronic
key.
If the system identifies that the
electronic key detected outside the
vehicle is valid, the owner of the key
can simply grasp one of the front
handles to deactivate the alarm and
unlock the door and tailgate opening
mechanism.
Where the function is provided,
grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door only or
all doors depending on the mode
set using the display menu or
theUconnect™system.
Door lockingTo lock the doors, proceed as follows:
❒make sure that you have the
electronic key and are close to the
driver or passenger side door handle;
❒press the "door locking" button A fig.
9 on the handle: this will lock all doors
and the tailgate. Door locking will
activate the alarm as well (where
provided).
IMPORTANT After pressing the "door
locking" button, you need to wait two
seconds before the doors can be
unlocked again using the door handle.
It is therefore possible to check whether
the vehicle is locked correctly by
pulling the door handle within 2
seconds. The doors will not be
unlocked again.

(where provided)
This is an infrared LED sensor that
works in conjunction with the rain
sensor and is located on the
windscreen. It is able to detect
variations in outside lighting based on
the light sensitivity set in the display
Menu or theUconnect™system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lower the
amount of external light needed to
automatically switch the external lights
on.Function activationTurn the light switch ring nut to AUTO.

Mirror realignment adjustmentIf one of the door mirrors has been
moved manually, it may not maintain its
position while driving.
In this case the following realignment
procedure must be carried out:
❒manually close the mirror into parking
position, moving it from position 1 to
position 2 (see fig. 26);
❒Operate the door opening control C
fig. 25 once or twice to realign the
system and bring both mirrors
into driving position.

Automatic main beam headlights(where provided)
In order not to disturb other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically deactivated when
approaching vehicles travelling in the
opposite direction or when following a
vehicle travelling in the same direction.
This function can be set through the
display menu (see the instructions
in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter); the light
switch ring nut must be turned to
AUTO to activate.
The function is activated by pushing the
stalk toward the dashboard (stable
position); the
warning light comes
on in the instrument panel. The
warning light will also come on in
the instrument panel with main beam
headlights on. If the vehicle is turned off
with the setting described previously,
the automatic main beam headlight
function will need a new resetting: bring
back the stalk in the centre position
and then press it again towards the
instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 40 km/h
and the function is active, if the stalk
is brought again to the stable central
position the function deactivates and
the main beam headlights turn off.When the speed is lower than 15 km/h
and the function is active, the system
automatically switches the main beam
headlights off.
If the stalk is moved from the stable
central position and pushed again
towards the dashboard in the stable
position, this is interpreted as a request
for fixed main beam headlights: the
warning light comes on in the
instrument panel and the main beam
headlights turn on until vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. When this
threshold is exceeded the function
activates again automatically and the
warning light comes on again
in the instrument panel.
To deactivate this function, rotate the
light switch ring nut to the
position.
DIRECTION INDICATORSBring left stalk A fig. 28 to the (stable)
position:
upwards: activates the right direction
indicator;
downwards: activates the left direction
indicator.
The
or
warning light respectively
will flash on the instrument panel.
The direction indicators switch
off automatically when the steering
wheel is straightened or when the
daytime running lights (DRL)/parking
lights are activated.
"Lane Change" functionIf you wish to signal a lane change while
running, place the left stalk in the
unstable position for less than half a
second.
The direction indicator on the side
selected will flash five times and then
switch off automatically.HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
ADJUSTMENT
Headlight alignment correctorThe headlight alignment corrector
operates with ignition device at MAR
and dipped headlights on.
To adjust rotate ring nut A fig. 29.
❒Position 0: one or two people on the
front seats;
❒Position 1: 4 or 5 passengers

windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.

will automatically adapt its operating
speed to the speed of the vehicle.
