HOW TO DEACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
Press button
Ëof the key with remote
control.
The system will react as follows (with the
exception of certain markets):
❒two brief flashes of the direction in-
dicators;
❒two brief “beeps”;
❒door unlocking.
IMPORTANT Operating a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
To deactivate the alarm, turn the ignition
key to ON.
fig. 13F0L0171m
VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
SENSORS
The volumetric sensors are located inside
the front ceiling light in the passenger’s
compartment. To make sure that the vol-
umetric sensors are working properly,
check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows
and sunroof (where provided) are shut.
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
If it is necessary to switch on the alarm
when animals or people are in the car,
press button A-fig. 13 on the front ceil-
ing light to deactivate the volumetric pro-
tection.
Deactivation is needed also in the pres-
ence of additional independent heater and
when it is switched on with the remote
control.
fig. 14F0L0172m
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).
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button B-fig. 14on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on
until activating the central door opening
again.

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).

For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips.
WARNING
Only make adjustments
when the car is stationary.
WARNING
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 suddenly and the dri-
ver losing control of the car.
WARNING
Lumbar adjustment
(where provided)
To adjust, turn the knob D. 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.

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.
Activation fig. 60
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
and operate it within 2 minutes from when
the engine is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. Each time the stalk is operated, the 3
warning light turns on together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). The
warning light will come on the first time
the stalk is operated and it will stay on un-
til the function is automatically deactivat-
ed. Each single movement of the stalk will
only extend the staying on of the lights.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the car according to the light
sensitivity set: the greater the sensitivity
is, the smaller the amount of external light
necessary to control the switching-on of
the external headlights will be. The day-
light sensor sensitivity can be adjusted by
the “Set-up menu” of the display.

Activation fig. 61
Turn the knurled ring to
2A:in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights is si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the
dipped beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.
