over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
3)When getting out of the vehicle, always
take the key with you to prevent any
occupants from accidentally activating the
controls. Remember to engage the electric
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).
This could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance of the vehicle
with type-approval requirements.
5)Never remove the key without remote
control 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.

lever to P (Park) and press 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 dedicated button on the
handle (see "Keyless Entry" in the "Doors"
paragraph).
7)On versions equipped with Full Keyless
system, do not leave the electronic key
inside or near the vehicle or in a place
accessible to children. Do not leave the
vehicle with the ignition device in the MAR
position. A child could operate the electric
windows, other controls or even start
the vehicle.

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)

closed and the ignition device turned to
STOP, point the key with remote control
or electronic key towards the vehicle

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

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.
