DUPLICATING KEYS
If you ask for extra keys, remember
that all the keys, both the new ones
and those you already possess, must
be stored in the memory (up to a
maximum of 7). Go directly to your
nearest Fiat Dealership, taking with
you the key with the burgundy grip, all
the other keys in your possession and
the CODE card.
The codes of any keys that are not
available when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be deleted
from the memory to prevent any lost
or stolen keys being used to start the
car.OPERATION

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE A-fig. 29
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.
Travelling too slowly when the out-
side temperature is very hot can also
cause the needle to approach the red
sector.
In this case it is better to stop and
turn off the engine. After a few mo-
ments you can start the engine again
and accelerate slightly.FUEL GAUGE B-fig. 29
The needle shows the number of
litres of fuel probably in the tank.
When the Kreserve warning light
comes on, it means that about 5 litres
of fuel are left in the tank.
Never travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: any gaps in fuel supply
could damage the catalytic converter.DIGITAL CLOCK fig. 30
This a twenty-four hour clock. When
the headlights are turned on the fig-
ures will automatically grow dim to
make them easier to read.
To set the hours: press button A.
To set the minutes: press button B.
Press the button once to forward
one unit at a time. Keep the button
pressed to fast forward automatical-
ly. When you are close to the time
you wish to set, release the button and
press the button as many times as re-
quired.
If the conditions persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the car seen
to at a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

45
IMPORTANT If one of the doors
is not shut properly or there is a fail-
ure in the system, the central locking
feature will not work and, after some
attempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two
minutes the doors can be locked or
unlocked manually without the elec-
trical system coming into play. After
the two minutes the control unit is
ready to receive commands once
more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS fig. 53
Two push buttons are mounted on
the central console. They control the
following when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window opening
B- left window closing
C- right window closing
D- right window opening
If a button is pressed on the driver’s
side for around two seconds, the win-
dow works automatically: the window
stops when it is fully opened or closed
(or when the button is pushed again).

Improper use of the electric
windows can be dangerous.
Before and during their operation,
ensure that any passengers in the
vehicle are not at risk either by per-
sonal objects getting caught or by
being injured directly. Always re-
move the ignition key when you get
out of the car to prevent the elec-
tric windows being operated acci-
dentally and constituting a danger
to the people left in the car.
