THE FIAT CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted
with an engine immobilising system. It is automatically acti-
vated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip.
The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built into the igni-
tion switch. The modulated signal, which changes each time
the engine is started, is the “password”, by means of which
the control unit recognises the key and enables to start
the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition key to
MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends an ac-
knowledgement code to the engine management control
unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
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 engine man-
agement control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instru-
ment panel warning light
Y
turns on.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR;
if the lock continues, possibly try with the other keys pro-
vided with the car. If you still cannot start the engine, per-
form the emergency start procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”) and then contact the Fiat Dealership.
SYMBOLSSpecial coloured labels have been attached near or actu-
ally on some of the components of your car. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be tak-
en as regards that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found un-
der the bonnet, fig. 3.

WINDOW WASHINGThe right stalk fig. 50 controls windscreen wiper/washer
and rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
The stalk has five different positions (four speed levels):
A windscreen wiper off.
B intermittent operation.
C continuous slow operation.
D continuous fast operation.
E fast temporary operation (spring-return position).
The temporary fast function lasts as long as you manually
keep the stalk in that position. The stalk returns to
position A when it is released, automatically stopping
the windscreen wipers.

Windscreen wiper slowing down according
to car speed
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, when decelerating until stopping the
car, will the windscreen wiper will slow down automati-
cally. Speed will be resumed automatically when the car
speed exceeds 10 km/h. The windscreen speed can be
changed manually at any time.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (spring-return
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to operate
the washer jet and the windscreen wiper; the latter auto-
matically turns on if you keep the stalk pulled for more than
half a second. The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”,
after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In these conditions, the windscreen wipers
may be submitted to excessive effort resulting in
motor protection cutting in and wiper operation in-
hibition for a few seconds. If the operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

HEADLIGHTSHEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the
comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the high-
way code. The headlights must be correctly aimed to get
the best visibility conditions for all drivers while travel-
ling with headlights on. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights properly adjusted. Check headlight beam
aiming every time the load or its distribution change.
SLANT COMPENSATION fig. 83
The car is fitted with electric adjustment of the beams, op-
erating with ignition key at MAR and dipped headlights on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
the headlight beam rises.
In this case, repeat beams aiming by buttons + and −.The display provides a visual indication of the positions
during adjustment.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 – one or two passengers on front seats.
Position 1 – four passengers.
Position 2 – four passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load in the boot.

When the ASR is switched off whilst driving, the next time
the car is started up the ASR is automatically switched
on by the system. When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact,
in these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when mov-
ing off makes it possible to obtain better traction. The action of the ASR system is particularly helpful in
the following circumstances:
❒
slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
❒
too much power transmitted to the wheels also in re-
lation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒
acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
❒
in the event of loss of grip on a wet surface
(aquaplaning).
MSR system (engine drive regulation)
This is integral part of the ASR system that, in the event
of a sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and provides torque
to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel dri-
ve which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.
Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 88
The ASR system switches on automatically each time
the engine is started. Whilst driving, the ASR can be
switched off and subsequently switched on again by press-
ing the C ASR OFF button. When the system is switched
on, this is signalled by a message on the reconfigurable mul-
tifunction display (where provided).
When the system is switched off, this is signalled by
the LED on the ASR OFF button lighting up and by a mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with this system. Your dri-
ving style must always be suited to the road con-
ditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is ulti-
mately responsible for road safety.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTSSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled servicing plan.”
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affects consumption and stability.
Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When needing to
carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use
a trailer.
To change gears properly you must push
the clutch pedal fully down. For this rea-
son, there must be no obstacles on the floor un-
der the pedals: ensure that rubber mats (if any)
are lying flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
shifting lever, because this pressure, even
if light, over time can wear out the gearbox
internal components.
