ALARM
(where provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition
to all remote control functions previous-
ly described and it is controlled by the re-
ceiver located under the dashboard, next
to the fuse box.
WHEN THE ALARM IS
TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the fol-
lowing cases:
❒ unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
❒attempt to start the engine (turning the
ignition key to MAR);
❒ battery cable cutting;
❒ presence of moving bodies in the pas-
senger’s compartment (volumetric pro-
tection);
❒ abnormal raising/sloping of the car. Depending on the markets, the cutting in
of the alarm causes operation of the siren
and direction indicators (for about 26 sec-
onds). The ways of operating and the num-
ber of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.
Volumetric and anti-raising protections
can be cut off by operating the front ceil-
ing light controls (see paragraphs “Volu-
metric protection sensors” and “Anti-rais-
ing sensor” on the following pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.HOW TO ACTIVATE THE
ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and
the ignition key in the STOPposition or
with the key removed, point the key with
remote control in the direction of the car,
then press and release the button
Á.
With the exception of certain markets,
the system sounds a “beep” and the doors
are locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected
the system sounds a further warning
“beep” and the display shows the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, switch the alarm system off by
pressing button
Ë, check that the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then
switch the alarm on again by pressing but-
ton
Á.
Otherwise, the door, bonnet or tailgate
that is not shut properly will be excluded
from the alarm system control.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
push the button A-fig. 125located on the
central tunnel on the side of the gearbox
control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by
the word CITY on the “Multifunction dis-
play”.
When the CITY function is on the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light
gcoming on (together with the message on
the display) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circum-
stances, factors independent from the
electric power steering could cause the il-
lumination of the warning light
gon the
instrument panel. We suggest to stop im-
mediately the car, turn off the engine for
about 20 seconds and then re-start the
car. If the warning light
gstays on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electrical power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to MAR, after
about one second, the display shows the
gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R): from this
moment onwards, the Selespeed system
accepts gearshift commands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the dis-
play does not show the gear engaged, turn
the ignition key to STOP, and wait for the
display to turn off, then repeat system
switch on. If the fault persists, contact Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened the system starts the hydraulic
part of the system to prepare it for when
the engine is started. MOVING-OFF
With the engine on and the car stationary,
the gears that can be engaged for moving
off are only first (1), second (2) and/or re-
verse (R).
To engage them it is possible, keeping the
brake pedal pressed, to use only the
gearshift lever on the central console.
Moving off of the car is obtained releas-
ing the brake pedal and gradually press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
With the ASR system off (pressing the
ASR off button) moving off will be more
“brilliant”.
IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be en-
gaged from any of the following other
gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2)
only when the car is stationary.IMPORTANT If when shifting from re-
verse (R) / first (1) or neutral (N) / first (1)
sticking occurs on the first gear, the sys-
tem automatically engages second gear (2).
This is not to be considered as a fault as
it is part of the operating logic. For the
same reason, in the case of sticking on re-
verse gear, the system partially closes the
clutch to allow gear engagement; in this
case the engagement of reverse gear (R)
will not be as smooth as usual.
After a request to shift gear
with the car stationary, be-
fore pressing the accelerator pedal to
make the car move, the driver must
always check the display to see that
the gear engaged is the one required.
