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.

ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally. Sideslip angle changes
lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flat-
tening) are not considered).
