The electronic components in-
side the key may be damaged
if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.
OPERATION
Each time the key is fitted into the ignition
switch, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the engine con-
trol unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is removed, the
Fiat CODE system deactivates the func-
tions of the engine electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Y(where pro-
vided) turns on accompanied by the relat-
ed message on the display (see chapter
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the key should be removed and
refitted; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up to
a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Dealer-
ship.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising
system. This system is automatically acti-
vated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device transmits a ra-
dio-frequency signal when the engine is
started through a special aerial built into the
ignition switch. The modulate signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is
the “password”, by means of which the
control unit recognises the key and enables
to start the engine.Warning light
Ycoming on
when driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a
self-test (for example for a voltage
drop). At the first stop, turn the igni-
tion key to OFF and then back to
ON: if no failure is detected warning
light
Ywill not come on.
❒If the warning light Ystays on, re-
peat the procedure described previ-
ously leaving the key at OFFfor over
30 seconds. Should the inconvenience
persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.

fig. 11
To lock the doors if the remote control
does not work properly, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒fit the metal insert into the slot Cset
on the doors and turn it in the direc-
tion of the arrow (as shown in the fig-
ure).
IMPORTANT Before carrying out the
emergency door locking, check whether
the independent boot locking function on
the multifunction display set-up menu is
off (see paragraph “Multifunction display”). EMERGENCY OPENING USING
THE METAL INSERT
If the remote control does not work
properly (e.g.: battery flat), it is however
possible to use the emergency metal in-
sert set inside the remote control.
The metal insert operates the driver’s side
lock (the pawl is located under the out-
door handle fig. 9).
To use the metal insert set inside the re-
mote control, proceed as follows fig. 10:
❒move aside lever Aand take out the
emergency metal insert B, at the same
time.
fig. 9F0L0103mfig. 10F0L0102mfig. 11F0L0205m
The metal insert acts on the interested
door.
For emergency opening proceed as fol-
lows:
❒raise the handle, fit the metal insert in-
to the revolving plug and turn it coun-
terclockwise;
❒remove the key and lower the handle;
❒raise the handle and open the door.

ALARM
(where provided)
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 with unau-
thorised key;
❒battery cable cutting;
❒presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric
protection);
❒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.Volumetric and anti-raising protections
can be cut off by operating the front ceil-
ing light controls (see paragraphs “Volu-
metric protection sensors” and “Anti-rais-
ing sensor” on the following pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.
HOW TO ACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and
ignition key to OFFor removed, point
the key with remote control or removed,
point the key with remote control in the
direction of the car, then press and release
the button
Á.
With the exception of certain markets,
the system sounds a “beep” and the doors
are locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected
the system sounds a further warning
“beep” and the display shows the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, switch the alarm system off by
pressing button Ë, check that the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then
switch the system on again by pressing
button Á.
fig. 12F0L0100m
If the doors, bonnet and boot are shut
correctly and the warning “beep” is re-
peated, the system self-diagnostics has de-
tected a system operating fault. It is there-
fore necessary to contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
IMPORTANT Operating a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
IMPORTANT The alarm is built in com-
pliance with the law and regulations of the
different destination countries.

Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this rea-
son, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car. INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
Any attempt to break in is indicated by
turning on of warning light
Y(if pro-
vided) on the instrument panel with the
relevant message on the display (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system com-
pletely (for instance during prolonged in-
activity of the car) simply lock the car us-
ing the emergency locking.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the alarm if re-
mote control batteries are down or the
system is failing, fit the key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒door internal handles;
❒button Aand Bfor locking/unlocking
the doors fig. 15;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window break-
ing).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattend-
ed.
fig. 15F0L0003m
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated on-
ly using the metal insert of the key on
the driver’s side door as described pre-
viously: in this case the dead lock de-
vice is active only on the rear doors.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 17:
❒OFF: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Certain elec-
trical devices (e.g.: sound system, pow-
er windows…) can work.
❒ON: driving position. All electrical de-
vices are powered.
❒START: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with an elec-
tronic safety system that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the igni-
tion key to OFFbefore repeating the
starting operation.
fig. 17F0L0004m
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to
prevent any occupants from acci-
dentally activating the controls. Re-
member to engage the handbrake
and if the car is parked on uphill slope
to engage the first gear. If the car is
facing downhill, engage the reverse
gear (position P with automatic trans-
mission). Never leave unsupervised
children in the car.
WARNING
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
The steering column lock will engage 5
seconds after removing the key from the
ignition switch (engine off).
Disengaging
The steering column lock will disengage
after fitting the key into the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT Switching the engine off
when the car is running will not engage the
steering column lock. The multifunction
display will show the relevant message
(see section “Warning lights and Mes-
sages”).
IMPORTANT If, after trying to turn the
instrument panel on and/or to start the
engine, the display will show the message
“Check vehicle protection system”, repeat
the operation rocking the steering wheel
to facilitate steering unlocking. Displaying
of this message does not impair steering
column lock operation.
IMPORTANT When the vehicle is mo-
ving, the electronic key must remain in the
ignition device. That ensures that the stee-
ring lock is disabled during vehicle hand-
ling (e.g., when the vehicle is towed).
