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

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.

Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly,
giving a prompt sensation of warmth.+
Air flow distributed between footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents (cooler air). This
distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+
Air flow distributed between footwell vents and windscreen and front side vents. This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed up efficiently and prevents the windows from misting up.
+
Air flow distributed between central and side dashboard vents and windscreen and front side window vents. This
distribution allows air to be sent to the windscreen in conditions of strong sunlight.
+
+
Air flow distribution to all diffusers on the vehicle.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on. In combined function mode the
relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose
function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic
control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&StopThe automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when vehicle speed is 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the
automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows
misting up (as the compressor is off).
WARNING
2)The system uses R1234YF coolant, which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances
use R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of the system.

This type of swivel-opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sun roof. When starting with the
roof in closed position, pressing the
button automatically causes its
swivel-opening. If the roof is already
open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the swivel-opening
position.Pressing button C again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICEThe sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement
of the roof is immediately reversed
into opening.EMERGENCY OPERATIONIf the control buttons fail to operate, the

Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is overheated.
When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open
the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.
Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on (or the icon is
displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and,
if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant
level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before turning it off.ELECTRONIC ALARM
The warning light turns on when the electronic alarm is activated (deterrent function).
