ALARM
(where provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition
to all remote control functions previous-
ly described and it is controlled by the re-
ceiver located under the dashboard, next
to the fuse box.WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the fol-
lowing cases:
❒unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
❒attempt to start the engine (turning the
ignition key to MAR);
❒battery cable cutting;
❒presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric pro-
tection);
❒abnormal raising/sloping of the car. Depending on the markets, the cutting in
of the alarm causes operation of the siren
and direction indicators (for about 26 sec-
onds). The ways of operating and the num-
ber of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protec-
tions may be turned off by operating the
control on the front courtesy light (see
“Volume-sensing/anti-lift protection” para-
graph).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors inform the driver about
the presence of obstacles behind the car
(versions fitted with 4 rear sensors) or be-
hind and in front of the car (versions fit-
ted with 4 rear sensors and 4 front sen-
sors).
This system is therefore an aid for the dri-
ver when parking the car since it detects
obstacles out of the driver’s sight range.
The driver is warned of the presence and
distance from the obstacle by an inter-
mittent buzzer (the sound of the buzzer
becomes more frequent as the reduction
of distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases).
SENSORS
To detect obstacles the system used 4
sensors located on the front bumper
(where provided) fig. 105and 4 sensors
located on the rear bumper fig. 106.
ACTIVATION
Version with 4 sensors
In the version with 4 rear sensors, the sys-
tem turns on automatically when reverse
is engaged.

Version with 8 sensors
In the version with 4 rear sensors and 4
front sensors, the system activates when
reverse is engaged or when the button is
pressed tfig. 107.
When reverse is released, the rear sen-
sors and front sensors remain active un-
til a speed of approximately 15 km/h is ex-
ceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre
to be completed.The system may be activated by pressing
the button tfig. 107located on the
centre panel: a warning light on the but-
ton comes on when the system is active.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing
the tfig. 107again or exceeding a
speed of 15 km/h: the warning light on the
button is off when the system is inactive.
When the sensors are activated, the sys-
tem begins to emit acoustic signals from
the front or rear indicators as soon as an
obstacle is detected. The frequency aris-
es as soon as the car approaches the ob-
stacle.

BUZZER WARNINGS
The driver is warned of the presence and
distance from the obstacle by the buzzers
installed in the passenger compartment:
❒in versions with 4 rear sensors, a
buzzer located in the front dashboard
area warns of the presence of rear ob-
stacles;
❒In versions with 8 rear sensors (4 front
and 4 rear) a front buzzer warns of the
presence of front obstacles and a
buzzer at the rear warns of the pres-
ence of rear obstacles. This feature
gives the driver a sense of directional-
ity (front/rear) about the presence of
obstacles.
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried. If
this situation takes place for side sen-
sors, the signal is stopped after about
3 seconds to prevent sound indications
when performing manoeuvres near
walls.
For proper operation, the
parking sensors set on the
bumpers shall be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. When
cleaning the sensors, take the utmost
care to prevent their damaging; do not
use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sen-
sors shall be washed with clean water
and car detergent, if required. In wash-
ing stations, clean sensors quickly keep-
ing the vapour jet/high pressure wash-
ing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.
Any repainting of bumpers or
touch/up in sensor areas shall
be carried out at Fiat Dealer-
ship only. Improper painting
could impair the regular operation of
parking sensors.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (special-
ly children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall nev-
er reduce attention during dangerous
manoeuvres even if performed at low
speed.
WARNING
When the obstacle is located at a distance
of less than 30 cm, the device emits a con-
tinuous sound. Depending on the position
of the obstacle (in front or behind) the
sound is emitted by the corresponding
acoustic indicators (front or rear). The ob-
stacle closest to the vehicle is indicated
in all cases.
The beep will stop immediately if the dis-
tance raises. Beep tone is constant if the
distance detected by central sensors is un-
varied. If this situation takes place for side
sensors, the signal is stopped after about
3 seconds to prevent sound indications
when performing manoeuvres near walls.
