Ignition Key Reminder
(if equipped)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to remove the ignition key if it is in
the ignition switch when the driver’s door
is opened. If the immobilizer system light (1) for gaso-
line engine or service vehicle soon (SVS)
light (2) for diesel engine blinks when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
engine will not start.
NOTE
If this light blinks, turn the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” position, then turn it back
to the “ON” position. If the light still blinks
with the ignition switch turned to the
“ON” position, there may be something
wrong with your key or with the immo-
bilizer system. Ask your Fiat dealer to in-
spect the system.
NOTE
❒If you lose your Immobilizer ignition
key, see your Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible to have the lost one deac-
tivated, then have the new key made by
them.
❒If you own other vehicles with immo-
bilizer keys, keep those keys away from
the ignition switch when using your Fi-
at, or the engine may not be started be-
cause they may interfere with your Fi-
at’s immobilizer system.

❒If a spare remote controller is in the ve-
hicle, the request switches may not op-
erate normally.
❒The remote controller will only oper-
ate a request switch if it is within the
switch’s operating range. For example,
if the remote controller is within the
operating range of the driver’s door re-
quest switch, the driver’s door switch
can be operated but the front passen-
ger’s door switch or rear door switch

FRONT AIR BAGS
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is lo-
cated behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the air bag covers to identi-
fy the location of the air bags. If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or
comes on while driving, the air bag system
(or the seat belt pretensioner system (if
equipped)) may not work properly. Have
the air bag system inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Frontal collision range
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the dashboard on pas-
senger side since they could interfere
with proper air bag inflation and al-
so cause serious injury.

Air bags must inflate quickly and forceful-
ly in order to reduce the chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries. However, an un-
avoidable consequence of the quick infla-
tion is that the air bag may irritate bare
skin, such as the facial area against a front
air bag. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise
will occur and some powder and smoke
will be released. These conditions are not
harmful and do not indicate a fire in the
car. Be aware, however, that some air bag
components may be hot for a while after
inflation.
The driver should not lean
over the steering wheel. The
front passenger should not rest his or
her body against the dashboard, or
otherwise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air bags
and side curtain air bag, occupants
should not lean on or sleep against
the door. In these situations, the out-
of- position occupant would be too
close to an inflating air bag, and may
suffer severe injury.
Do not attach any objects to, or place
any objects over, the steering wheel
or dashboard. Do not place any ob-
jects between the air bag and the dri-
ver or front passenger. These objects
may interfere with air bag operation
or may be propelled by the air bag
in the event of a crash. Either of these
conditions may cause severe injury.
For vehicles with side air bags, do not
place seat covers on the front seats,
because seat covers could restrict the
air bag’s inflation. Also, do not place
any cup holders on the door, as the
cup holder could be propelled by the
air bag in the event of a crash. Either
of these conditions may cause severe
injury.
WARNING
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far back
as possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your seat;
sit up straight; do not lean over the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard. Front occupants
should not lean on or sleep against the
door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

IMPORTANT The remote controller is
a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid
damaging the remote controller:
❒Do not expose it to impacts, moisture
or high temperature such as on the
dashboard under direct sunlight.
❒Keep the remote controller away from
magnetic objects such as a television.
You can also turn the ignition switch by
inserting the ignition key into the slot.
If you leave any of the doors open with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position for
a while (and no key inserted), the engine
may not start when you turn the ignition
switch to “START”. If the engine does not
start, close all doors completely or turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”
position, then start the engine.
The ignition switch has the following four
positions:ACC (2)
Accessories such as the radio can oper-
ate, but the engine is off.
ON (3)
This is the normal operating position. All
electrical systems are on.
START (4)
This is the position for starting the engine
using the starter motor. The switch should
be released from this position as soon as
the engine starts. LOCK (1)
This is the normal parking position. It is
the only position in which the key can be
removed. It locks the ignition, and pre-
vents normal use of the steering wheel.
To release the steering lock, turn the ig-
nition switch clockwise to one of the oth-
er positions. If you have trouble turning
the ignition switch to unlock the steer-
ing, try turning the steering wheel slightly
to the right or left while turning the
switch.
NOTE You must push the ignition switch
to turn it to the “ACC” position. Also you
must push the ignition switch to return it
to the “LOCK” position.

Be careful not to cover the interior tem-
perature sensor (F) between the steering
wheel and the climate control panel, or
the solar sensor (G) located at the top of
the driver’s side dashboard. These sensors
are used by the automatic system to reg-
ulate temperature.
Manual operation
You can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to your de-
sired position.NOTE If you need maximum defrosting:
❒set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”
(the air conditioning system will come
on and the “FRESH AIR” mode will be
selected automatically),
❒set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
❒adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end, and
❒adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
❒If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly.
❒Even under the automatic operation,
you can set some of the blower speed
selector/ air intake selector (2) and air
flow selector (3) into manual mode.
Then the manually selected function is
maintained preferentially, and the oth-
er functions remain under automatic
operation.
❒To return the air intake selector (2) to
automatic operation when both the
blower speed selector (2) and the air
flow selector (3) are in the “AUTO”
position, turn either the selector (2) or
(3) to a position other than “AUTO”,
then turn to the “AUTO” position
again.

BULB REPLACEMENT
1.Fuse puller
The fuses are also located under the dri-
ver’s side of the dashboard. Remove the
fuse box lid by pulling it off. To remove a
fuse, use the fuse puller provided in the
fuse box. The amperage of each fuse is
shown on the top of the fuse box cover.
54G256
Always be sure to replace a
blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct amperage. Never use a sub-
stitute such as aluminum foil or wire
to replace a blown fuse. If you re-
place a fuse and the new one blows
in a short period of time, you may
have a major electrical problem.
Have your vehicle inspected imme-
diately by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
65D046
NOTE Make sure that the fuse box always
carries spare fuses.
OK
BLOWN
– Light bulbs can be hot
enough to burn your finger
right after being turned off. This is
true especially for halogen headlight
bulbs. Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
– The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or
dropped. Handle them carefully.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The oils from your skin may
cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb
with a clean cloth.
IMPORTANT Frequent replacement of a
bulb indicates the need for an inspection
of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your Fiat Dealership.
