SYMBOLSSome car components have coloured labels whose
symbols indicate precautions to be observed when
using this component.
A plate summarising these symbols fig. 6 can be
found under the bonnet.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.
There is an electronic device in each key which can
identify the signal emitted, when the engine is
started, from an aerial built into the ignition switch.
The signal is the "password", different every time
the vehicle is started, through which the control
unit recognises the key and enables starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition
key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control
unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. The
code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has acknowledged the code received from
the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the
Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the
engine management control unit.
If, during starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light (or symbol on the
display) switches on in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to
MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the
other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors, bonnet and tailgate closed and the
ignition key either turned to STOP or removed,
point the key with remote control towards the
vehicle and press and release button
.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic signal (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the
system emits a new acoustic signal together with
the display of a message (see “Warning lights and
messages” chapter).
In this case switch off the alarm by pressing
,
check that all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are
closed correctly; then switch the alarm back on by
pressing the
button.If a door, the bonnet and the tailgate are not
properly shut, they will be excluded from the check
by the alarm system.
If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the
doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a
failure has occurred in system operation.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come on when
the central locking is activated using the metal
insert in the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet
requirements in various countries.

Activation
Move the right stalk down by one click.
The activation of the sensor is signalled by a
"stroke" to show that the command has been
acquired.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
By turning ring nut F fig. 51 is it possible to increase
the sensitivity of the rain sensor to obtain a more
rapid variation between wiper still (no stroke)
when the windscreen is dry, to wiper at first
continuous speed (slow continuous operation).
The increasing of the rain sensor sensitivity is also
signalled by a stroke of the wipers.
If the windscreen washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.
Deactivation
Turn the ignition key to STOP.
At the next start-up (key at MAR-ON), the sensor
will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B
fig. 51. To activate the sensor, move the stalk to
position A or C and then back to position B.
Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least
one wiper “stroke” even if the windscreen is dry.
Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car
wash.Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.
WARNING
Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen is being
cleaned.
REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
It can be operated only with the ignition key turned
to MAR-ON. The function stops when the stalk is
released.
Turning the stalk ring nut A fig. 54 from position
to position

BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking
assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises
emergency braking (on the basis of the brake
pedal operating speed) and speeds up the response
of the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system
failure, indicated by warning light
coming on
together with the message on the display.
ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability
Program)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls vehicle
stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping
maintain directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful
when the grip conditions of road surfaces change.
With the ESP, the car is provided with ASR
(traction control with interventions on brakes and
engine), HILL HOLDER (device for starting on
gradients without using the brakes), MSR (control
of engine braking torque when shifting gear down)
and HBA (automatic increase of braking pressure in
the case of emergency braking).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
on the instrument panel, to inform the driver
that the car is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system comes on automatically when the
vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.

"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEMThe car is equipped with an electrically controlled
power steering system called “Dualdrive”, working
only with the ignition key at MAR-ON and the
engine running, that customises steering force
according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
full power steering functionality can be achieved
after 1-2 seconds.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (CITY
function)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To turn the function on/off, press button A fig. 111
on the dashboard, next to the steering wheel.The activation of the function is signalled by the
word CITY on the display (in some versions it
is signalled by the switching on of the warning light
CITY).
When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter and parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering system is
indicated by instrument panel warning light
coming on together with a message on the
display (on some versions together with a symbol
on the display) (see “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
In the event of electric power steering system
failure, the car can be driven with mechanical
steering.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a system that
allows a choice between two styles of driving,
normal and sports.
Pressing the SPORT button fig. 112 produces a
sporty driving setting characterised by higher
acceleration response and more effort required at
the steering wheel for a sporty driving sensation.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around 15
km/h is exceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre
to be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the
button
fig. 115 in the central panel: a warning
light in the button comes on when the system
is activated.
Every time the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
the LED on the button
flashes briefly to
indicate that the system is running a diagnosis. The
LED activation should not be understood as a fault.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button
again
fig. 115 or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the warning light in the button is off
when the system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front orrear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected with
the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away,
the sound becomes continuous. Depending on
the position of the obstacle (in front or behind) the
sound is produced by the corresponding buzzers
(front or rear). The obstacle closest to the vehicle
is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres alongside
walls).
WARNING
Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres however are always the
driver ’s responsibility.When making these
manoeuvres, always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are present
in your manoeuvring space.The parking
sensors are designed to assist drivers: in any
case, you must always pay the utmost
attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low
speed.
