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

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.

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.

CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence. Certain versions
are equipped with an additional safety
switch that in the event of a crash comes
into operation by cutting off the power sup-
ply. These two safety switches therefore
prevent dangerous fuel leaks due to fuel line
cracking and sparks or electric discharges
due to damaging or malfunctioning of the
electric components of the car in the event
of a crash.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the key from the ignition device
to prevent battery run-down.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks or damages
to the electric devices (e.g. headlights) are
found and the car can be started again, re-
set the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided).
Follow the instructions given below.
fig. 70F0L0230mfig. 71F0L0036m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switches to
avoid fire risk.

POWER WINDOWS
All versions are fitted with power win-
dows with anti-crushing safety device to
detect the presence of an obstacle in the
window closing stroke. If an obstacle is de-
tected, the safety system will stop window
closing and, according to window position,
will also reverse window stroke.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to OFFand then
to ON.
The logic is restored if no malfunction is
present, the window returns to its normal
operation automatically; otherwise con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT With the ignition key to
OFFor removed, the power windows re-
main activated for about 2 minutes and are
deactivated immediately the moment a
door is opened.WINDOW SAFETY SYSTEM
INITIALISATION
Safety system shall be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the rele-
vant protection fuse is blown.

❒open completely manually or auto-
matically the window to initialise ;
❒fully close the window manually (with-
out stops);
❒after window stopping, keep on press-
ing the closing control for at least 1

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral (posi-
tions P or N for automatic transmis-
sion);
❒press the clutch pedal (or brake ped-
al with automatic transmission) down
to the floor without pressing the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to STARTand
let it go the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to OFFbe-
fore repeating starting.
IMPORTANT In the event of fast engine
start-up (i.e.: fitting the ignition key and
turning it to ON), any slight jamming is to
be attributed to correct recognition of the
electronic key by the ignition switch.
ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine
lock device: if the engine fails to start, see
the paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” in
section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature of the hydraulic
tappet system does not compromise func-
tionality or reliability. This timing system
for petrol engines was adopted to limit
servicing.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full car performance
(e.g.: excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-
ing, etc.).
When the engine is switched
off never leave the key into
the ignition switch to prevent
pointless current absorption
from draining the battery.
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
