WARNING
1)When carrying a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on the
plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane,
the key emits electromagnetic waves,
which could adversely affect the plane’s
flight operation. When carrying a key in a
bag, be careful that no switches on the key
can be easily pressed by mistake.2)Don’t make any alterations or additions
to the immobilizer system; alterations or
additions could cause failure of the
immobilizer.
3)When the key case is opened, be careful
to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.4)People with implantable cardiac
pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-
defibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmitters
(B). The radio waves used by the keyless
operation system could adversely affect
implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.
23

5)When using electro-medical devices
other than implantable cardiac pacemakers
or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electro-medical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the adverse effects of radio waves on the
devices. Electro-medical device operations
could be affected by radio waves.
IMPORTANT
1)Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.

soon as it is turned. This also applies to
cases in which the vehicle is towed.
10)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
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”

Vehicle-speed sensitive automatic
door lock (with impact sensitive
unlock mechanism)
All of the doors lock automatically when
the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 15 km/h. In addition, all
of the doors unlock when a strong
impact that could be very dangerous to
the occupants is sustained by the
collision of the vehicle. This is prepared
for rescue activities when an
unexpected accident occurs.
20)
NOTE Even if the vehicle suffers
significant deformation from a collision
etc., depending on the location and
angle of the collision, as well as on the
shape and condition of the other object
in the collision, the doors may not
unlock. The extent of deformation or
damage to the vehicle does not
necessarily correlate with unlock of the
doors.
NOTE These functions are activated
when the vehicle is shipped from the
factory. If you wish to activate or
deactivate these functions, please
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Unlock using the ignition switch,
the engine switch or the selector
lever
It is possible to unlock all of the doors
whenever as follows.
Vehicles with M/T — The ignition switch
is turned to the “LOCK” position or the

The Dead Lock System helps prevent
theft. When the keyless entry system or
the keyless operation function has been
used to lock all of the doors, the Dead
Lock System makes it impossible to
unlock the doors using the inside lock
knobs.
NOTE Do not set the Dead Lock
System when someone is inside the
vehicle. With the Dead Lock System
set, it is not possible to unlock the

UNLOCK switch on the key or using the
keyless operation function.
Setting the system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position and then remove the
key (vehicles with keyless entry system),
or put the operation mode in OFF
(vehicles with keyless operation
system).
2. Get out of the vehicle. Close all of the
doors.
3. Press the LOCK switch (A) on the

27)Before driving, make sure that the rear
gate is securely closed. If the rear gate
opens while driving the vehicle, objects
stored in the cargo area could fall out onto
the road.
28)Once the dead lock system is engaged
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.
29)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
30)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
31)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS

WARNING
47)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
48)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
49)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
50)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
51)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.52)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.
