IMPORTANT The engine lock function is guaranteed by
the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with
the remote control towards the vehicle and press and
release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by an self-
diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by pressing the “release
doors/release load compartment” button, check that the
doors and bonnet are properly closed and turn the
alarm back on by pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly shut, it will be
excluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors and bonnet are correctly closed, a fault has
occurred in the operation of the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control
functions described previously, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is opened
illegitimately (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition key
rotated to MAR-ON);
❒when the battery cables are cut;
❒when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal
operation.
The antilift protection may be turned off by means of
the appropriate button (see “Antilift protection”
paragraph overleaf).

ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION
The anti-lift protection system consists in a sensor
which detects any change in vehicle tilting with a view
to identifying any possible vehicle lifting, even partial
(e.g. when a tyre is removed).
The sensor also detects minor changes in the vehicle
angle both along the longitudinal and transverse axis.
Disabling the anti-lift protection
The anti-lift protection is disabled (for instance when
the vehicle needs to be towed with the alarm engaged)
by pressing button A-fig. 9 located on the control plate.
The protection remains enabled until the central door
opening system is engaged again. IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is
engaged using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is
not enabled.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet
requirements in various countries.
TURNING THE ALARM OFF
Press the door release/load compartment release
button on the key with remote control.
The following operations are performed (excluding
some markets):
❒the direction indicators turn on shortly twice;
❒two short beeps are produced by the warning buzzer;
❒the doors are unlocked.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is
released using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is
not disabled.

provided), (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy
period of idleness), simply lock the vehicle by turning
the metal insert of the key with remote control in the
lock.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote
control goes flat or the system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR-ON.

Never extract the key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering wheel would
automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it.
This is always the case, even when the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-sales operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installing an anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in
the vehicle failing to comply with regulations.
WARNING
If the ignition device is tampered with
(e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key from the vehicle
when leaving it in order to prevent
accidental engagement of the control.
Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill or
reverse gear if the vehicle is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.

REV COUNTER fig. 14
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is
“over-revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine
power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the
activation of the climate control system or the fan.
It should not be considered as a fault. In such cases,
a slight increase in engine idle speed helps to safeguard
the battery charge level.INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 13
It shows the vehicle speed.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 16
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid
and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the
middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on certain versions) to
indicate that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL GAUGE fig. 15
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E vacuum tank;
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
The warning light A coming on indicates that there are
about 10-12 litres of fuel remaining in the tank
(depending on the version). Do not travel with the fuel
tank almost empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning
light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to start the additional
heater (Webasto) when fuel is on reserve.

If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.The failure of the fifth symbol to come on should not be
taken as a fault or the fact that there is not enough oil in
the sump.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒if the next service is due, the time to the next
service is displayed and the warning light õlights up
on the instrument panel. When the service date is
reached, the display shows some dashes;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display and the message “OIL” appears in the
lower part of the display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows five dashes.
Versions with multifunction display
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display
shows the oil level on the first row by turning five
symbols on/off. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of
oil in the engine.
Versions with digital display
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, the
quantity of oil in the engine is displayed by means of five
symbols.
F0N1017g
The symbols are gradually turned off to indicate
a reduction in the oil level.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value
and a top-up is required, the display shows 5 dashes
intermittently.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump.

DIGITAL DISPLAY
STANDARD SCREEN fig. 17
The standard screen shows the following information:
A Headlamp alignment position (only with dipped
headlamps on).
B Time (always displayed, even with the key extracted
and the front doors closed);
C Odometer (distance covered in kilometres or miles)
and TRIP data.
NOTE With key removed (when opening one of the
front doors) the display turns on and shows the time
and km or miles covered for a few seconds. The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display.
