SYMBOLSSome vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
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.The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
on accompanied by the related
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, turn the key toSTOPand
then back toMAR-ON; if the 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 the Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to
eight) stored with the code.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT
1) Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of
them either in the correct
containers as specified by law or
by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.
ELECTRONIC ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote
control functions described previously,
is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
Operation
The alarm intervenes in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door or the
bonnet (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started
up (ignition key turned to MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery leads.
Depending on the market, the
activation of the alarm causes the
activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds).
Alarm tripping and the number of
cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal
operation.
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.Activation
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 the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep)
and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is
preceded by an self-diagnosis stage: if
a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by
pressing the "release doors/release
load compartment" button, check that
the doors and bonnet are properly
closed and turn the alarm back on by
pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly
shut, it will be excluded from the testing
by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors and bonnet are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come
on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.
13

IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to
meet requirements in various countries.
Disengagement
Press the door release/load
compartment release button on the key
with remote control.
The following operations are performed
(excluding some markets):
❒direction indicators flash twice;
❒there are two short acoustic signals
(beeps);
❒unlocking of the doors.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not switch
off when the central opening is
activated using the metal insert in the
key.
Break-in attempt
indication
Any break-in attempt is indicated by the
turning on of warning light
on the
instrument panel together with the
message on the display (where
provided, see paragraph “Warning
lights and messages” in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” section).Disabling
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.
during a long period of inactivity), simply
lock the vehicle by turning the metal
insert of the key with remote control in
the lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key
with the remote control run out or
the system fails, the alarm can
be switched off by placing the key in
the ignition switch and turning it to
MAR-ON.
IGNITION SWITCHThe key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that requires
the ignition key to be turned back
to STOP if the engine will not start,
before the starting operation can be
repeated.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT
2) The fabric upholstery of your
vehicle is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of your
vehicle for a long time. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous
scratching with clothing
accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings
and the like, as these items cause
stress of the cover fabric that
could lead to yarn breaking and
damage the upholstery.
HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT
On certain versions the head restraints
are adjustable in height and they lock
automatically in the required position.
16)
Adjustment
❒Upward adjustment: lift the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
❒Downwards adjustment: press the
button A fig. 37 and lower the head
restraint.
To extract the front head restraints
press buttons A and B fig. 37 at the
sides of the two supports
simultaneously and release them
upwards.
WARNING
16) All adjustments must only be
carried out with the vehicle
stationary and the engine off.
Head restraints must be adjusted
so that the head, rather than
the neck, rests on them. Only in
this case can they protect your
head correctly. To take best
advantage of the protection
provided by the head restraint,
adjust the seat back so that you
are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head
restraint as possible.

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 approval
requirements.
