trunk FIAT FREEMONT 2016 1.G Owners Manual

PREMIUM SECURITY SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Premium Security system monitors the doors,
hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry and the
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor
monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers the security sys-
tem, the headlights will turn on, the alarm will sound
and the turn signal and side repeater lights will flash for
29 seconds, and then the lights will continue to flash for
an additional 5 seconds. The system will repeat this
sequence for up to 8 security violations in any mode
(door ajar, motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having to
rearm the system. At the end of any particular trigger
event, the lights will continue to flash for 26 seconds.TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the theft alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is "OFF".
(refer to "Starting Procedures" in "Starting And
Driving" for further information).
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push LOCK on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
• Push the LOCK button on the exterior Passive
Entry Door Handle with a valid Key Fob available in
the same exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-
Go™" in "Knowing Your Vehicle" for further infor-
mation).
• Push the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
• Once the security system is armed, it remains in that state until you disarm it by following either of the
disarming procedures described. If a power loss oc-
curs after arming the system, you must disarm the
system after restoring power to prevent alarm acti-
vation.

• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector)actively monitors your vehicle every time you arm
the security system. If you prefer, you can turn OFF
the ultrasonic intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor
when arming the security system. To do so, push the
LOCK button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 5 seconds of arming the system (while the
Vehicle Security Light is flashing rapidly).
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:
• Push the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone
(refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in "Knowing Your
Vehicle" for further information).
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position by pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/
Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in
the vehicle). NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button
on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The system will not arm if you lock the doors using the
manual door lock plunger.

INTERIOR LIGHTS
The interior lights come on when a door is opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition switch is
moved to the LOCK position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are on
because a door is open. This includes the glove box
light, but not the trunk light. To restore interior light
operation, either turn the ignition switch ON or cycle
the light switch.
DIMMER CONTROLS
The dimmer control is part of the headlight switch and
is located on the drivers side of the instrument panel.
(fig. 61)
Rotating the dimmer control upward with the parking
lights or headlights on will increase the brightness of
the instrument panel lights.
DOME LIGHT POSITION
Rotate the dimmer control completely upward to the
second detent to turn on the interior lights. The
interior lights will remain on when the dimmer control
is in this position.
INTERIOR LIGHT DEFEAT (OFF)
Rotate the dimmer control to the extreme bottom off
position. The interior lights will remain off when the
doors are open.
PARADE MODE (DAYTIME BRIGHTNESS
FEATURE)
Rotate the dimmer control upward to the first detent.
This feature brightens all text displays such as the
odometer, and radio when the parking lights or head-
lights are on.

WARNING! (Continued)
• On seven passenger models, do not allow a
passenger to sit in a third row seat with the
second row seatback(s) folded flat . In a collision,
the passenger could slide underneath the seat
belt and be seriously or even fatally injured.
Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
con tain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you. To
avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined areas any longer than needed to move
your vehicle in or out of the area.
• If you are required to drive with the trunk/
liftgate/rear doors open, make sure that all win-
dows are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use
the recirculation mode.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with
the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into the vehicle. Set
the blower at high speed. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine
exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be detected
inside the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the
vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect
the complete exhaust system and adjacent body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compart-
ment. In addition, inspect the exhaust system each time
the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil change.
Replace as required.
Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The
Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for
cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a
collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision if they have been damaged (i.e., bent
retractor, torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question
regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the seat
belt.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — DIESEL
ENGINE
To help you have the best driving experience possible,
the manufacturer has identified the specific vehicle
maintenance service intervals that are required to keep
your vehicle operating properly and safely.
The manufacturer recommends that these mainte-
nance intervals be performed at your selling dealer. The
technicians at your dealership know your vehicle best,
and have access to factory trained information, genuine
FIAT parts, and specially designed electronic and me-
chanical tools that can help prevent future costly re-
pairs.
The maintenance intervals shown should be performed
as indicated in this section.
