ALARM
(for versions/markets, 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.

Fabric upholstery of your car
is purpose-made to withstand
common wear resulting from
normal use of the car. It is
however absolutely necessary to pre-
vent hard and/or prolonged scratch-
ing/scraping caused by clothing acces-
sories like metallic buckles, studs, “Vel-
cro” fixings, etc. that stressing locally
the fabric could break yarns and dam-
age the upholstery as a consequence.
Only make adjustments when
the car is stationary.
Once you have released the
lever, check that the seat is
firmly locked in the runners by
trying to move it back and
forth. Failure to lock the seat in place
could result in the seat moving sud-
denly and the driver losing control of
the car.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
FRONT
Head restraints are adjustable in height
and they lock automatically in the required
position.
❒to raise: raise the head restraint until
hearing the locking click.
❒to lower: press button A-fig. 30and
lower the head restraint.
On some versions, the front head re-
straints are equipped with an anti-whiplash
device, which is able to reduce the dis-
tance between the head and head restraint
in the case of rear impact, limiting damage
caused by whiplash.
If the front head restraint is anti-whiplash
type, the head restraint may move if pres-
sure is exercised on the back-rest through
the torso or hand. This behaviour is typ-
ical of the system and should not treated
as a malfunction.REAR
Car is can be equipped with two head
restraints for side seats and, according to
versions, also with a third head restraint
for the central seat.
To lift out head restraint: take it com-
pletely out from the seat back (position of
use) until hearing a click.
To bring it back to the original position
(non-use position): press button
A-fig. 31and lower the head restraint
down into its seat.
IMPORTANT Rear seat passengers shall
always set the head restraints in the po-
sition of use.fig. 30F0Q0655m
Remember that the head re-
straints should be adjusted
to support the back of your head and
not your neck. Only in this position
do they exert their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust the
seat back upright and keep your head
as close as possible to the head re-
straint.
