SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols
indicate precautions to be observed
when using this component. Under
the bonnet there is also a label
that summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases
protection against attempted
theft of the vehicle. It is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the
signal emitted during ignition by
an antenna built into the ignition
device. The signal, which
changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by
means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started
turning the ignition key to
MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control
Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system
control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).

In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR-ON;if
the lock continues, try with the
other keys provided with the
vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if
you still cannot start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by
the system's control unit. Contact
the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the
code.
Activation of
warning light while
driving
❒If the warning lightswitches
on, this means that the system
is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop).
❒If the warning lightstays on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside
the key may be damaged if the
key is subjected to sharp knocks.
In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic
devices inside the key, it should
never be exposed to direct
sunlight.

IMPORTANT The engine stop
function is guaranteed by the Fiat
CODE, which is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
extracted from the ignition switch.
Activation
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.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not
come on when the central locking
is activated using the metal insert in
the key.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted
to meet requirements in various
countries.
Disengagement
Press the door release/load
compartment release button on the
key with remote control.
The following operations are
performed (excluding some
markets):
❒direction indicators flash twice;
❒there are two short acoustic signals
(beeps);
❒unlocking of the doors.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not
switch off when the central opening
is activated using the metal insert
in the key.
Break-in attempt
indication
Any break-in attempt is indicated
by the turning on of warning light
on the instrument panel
together with the message on the
display (where provided, see
paragraph “Warning lights and
messages” in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” section).
Disabling
To permanently disable the alarm
(e.g. during a long period of
inactivity), simply lock the vehicle by
turning the metal insert of the key
with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT If the batteries of the
key with the remote control run
out or the system fails, the alarm
can be switched off by placing the
key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR-ON.

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be
turned back to STOP if the engine
will not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.
2) 3) 4) 5)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as
you turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON
WARNING
2) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
3) Always remove the key when you
leave your vehicle to prevent
someone from accidentally
operating the controls. 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.4) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will lock as soon as it is
turned. This also applies to cases
in which the vehicle is towed.
5) Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried
out involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft
device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance
with type-approval requirements.

IMPORTANT If the mirrors are
folded electrically, they should be
returned to the open position
electrically: do not try to return the
mirrors manually to driving position.
Manual folding
To fold the mirrors manually, move
them from position 1 fig. 41 to
position 2. If the mirrors are folded
manually, they can be returned
to the open position both manually
and electrically.
IMPORTANT To bring the mirrors
electrically to open position, press
point 2 of the rocker button A
fig. 42 until an engagement “click”
is heard, then press point 1 of
the button again.
Folding forwards
The mirrors can be manually folded
forwards (position 3 fig. 41) or
brought to open position 2 again
manually if they have been
accidentally rotated forwards (for
example due to an impact).If the mirrors have been rotated
forwards manually or due to an
impact, they can be returned to the
opening position both manually
and electrically.
To bring the mirrors electrically to
open position, press point 2 of the
rocker button A fig. 42 until an
engagement “click” is heard, then
press point 1 of the button again.
IMPORTANT If the mirrors have
been manually folded to position 3
fig. 41 by mistake, the mirror moves
to an intermediate position. In this
case, manually rotate the mirror
to position 1, then press point 2 of
the rocker button A fig. 42 to return
the mirror to position 2 until a
“click” is heard, then press point 1
of the button to bring it back to
position 1.
Defrosting/demisting
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The mirrors are fitted with resistors
that operate when the heated
rear window is activated (by
pressing the
button).IMPORTANT This function is timed
and will turn off automatically after
several minutes.
WARNING
19) As the driver's exterior mirror is
curved, it may slightly alter the
perception of distance of the
reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower
part of the exterior mirrors is
parabolic to increase the field of
view. The reflected image size
is thus reduced and gives the
impression that the reflected item
is further away than it actually
is.
20) When driving the mirrors should
always remain in position 1.

assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and
economic operation of the heater
as well as a long duration.
