WHEN THE ALARM IS TRIGGERED
When the system is on, the electronic alarm comes
into action in the following cases:
❒One of the doors, the bonnet or the tailgate are
opened.
❒The battery is disconnected or the electronic alarm
power supply cables are cut.
❒Something moves in the passenger compartment
(volumetric surveillance).
❒The key is turned to MAR.
When the alarm is triggered, the siren sounds for
about 26 seconds (for a maximum of 3 cycles at 6
second intervals if the cause of the alarm persists) and
the direction indicators will flash for about 5 minutes
(only in countries where legislation permits it).
Once the alarm situation has been resolved, the alarm
system continues its surveillance. To cut off the alarm
before this, press the remote control button.
HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE ALARM
To switch the alarm off, press the remote control
button on the key.
In countries where admitted by law regulations, the
system is preset for an emergency procedure to be
carried out when the alarm does not turn off (due to
flat remote control battery or system fault):❒open the door after unlocking the lock with the key,
❒fit the key into the ignition switch,
❒turn the key to MAR.
To reactivate the alarm after the emergency
procedure, turn the key to STOP and remove it. Then,
press twice the remote control button: first press will
re-align the system (this because the last operation for
excluding the alarm was performed using the key and
not the remote control), the second press will
reactivate the alarm.
When using the key, if the remote control battery is
flat the key led will flash once.
Flat battery condition is also indicated by the
dashboard led glowing steadily for 2 minutes each time
the alarm is deactivated.
In this event the key battery should be replaced by a
new one of the equivalent type on sale c/o normal
retailers.
If it is not possible to switch on the alarm with a new
remote control battery, contact Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
IMPORTANT If the car is to remain inactive for a
prolonged length of time (over three weeks) and
security conditions permitting, it is advisable to
operate central locking turning the key in the door
lock to avoid engaging the alarm and draining the
battery.
