Autonomy
Make sure your batteries are in good
condition, they are the type required
and inserted correctly. The battery has
a two-year life span: replace it when
you see the apposite message on the
instrument panel (see following pages).
The electronic key's scope
This varies according to the
surroundings; therefore be careful to
handle the remote control that could
cause it to lock or unlock the doors
accidentally because of involuntary
pressure on the buttons.
Integrated key
The integrated key 5 fig. 15 serves to
lock or unlock the front left door and,
depending on the vehicle, the rear door
when the electronic key cannot
function:
the electronic key might have dead
batteries;
use of devices on the same
frequency as the card;
the vehicle is located in an area
known for a high presence of
electro-magnetic waves.Accessing the key: press button 6
fig. 15 and pull the key 5, then release
the button.
Using the key: please read paragraph
"Lock, unlock the opening parts".
Once inside the vehicle with the
integrated key, put it back in its housing
with in the electronic key. Insert the
electronic key in the card reader to start
the engine.
IMPORTANT Do not put the key near a
source of heat, cold, or humidity. Do
not place the electronic key where it
could be accidentally folded or ruined
(for example, when you put the key in
your trousers back pocket then sit on
it).IMPORTANT Please see a Fiat
Dealership to replace the electronic key,
or if you need a supplementary one in
case of loss. If you replace an electronic
key, you will have to bring the vehicle
and all the electronic keys to a Fiat
Dealership to be re-initialised. Every
vehicle can be assigned up to four
electronic keys.
Keyless ENTRY
This lets you lock/unlock without
needing to use the electronic key, if you
are in the access area 1 fig. 16.
Locking/unlocking the vehicle
There are two ways to lock/unlock the
vehicle: being physically in the access
area or by using the electronic key.
IMPORTANT Do not place the
electronic key where it could come into
contact with other electronic equipment
(computer, phone, etc.) that could
compromise its operation.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

In both cases, the emergency lights will
flash five times to indicate the door is
locked.
To disable centralised closing:
unlock the vehicle with button 1
fig. 24 on the electronic key. The
emergency lights will flash once to
confirm the vehicle is open.IMPORTANT After enabling the overall
closing with button 2 fig. 24, the "easy
access" locking and unlocking function
is disabled. To get easy access back,
restart the vehicle.
Replacing the battery
When the message appears on the
instrument panel, replace the electronic
key battery. Press button 1 fig. 26,
pulling out the extra key 2 fig. 26, then
unhook the cover 3 fig. 27 using the
tongue 4 fig. 27. Remove the battery by
pressing on one side (movement A) and
lifting up the other (movement B), then
replace it with respect to polarity,
written on the cover 3.
To refit it, proceed in reverse order, then
press one of the card buttons four
times, near the vehicle: when you start
the engine again, the message
disappears.NOTE When replacing the battery, avoid
touching the electronic circuit and the
contacts located near the electronic
key.
IMPORTANT Check that the cover has
been properly hooked.
IMPORTANT Batteries are available at a
Fiat Dealership, and they last about two
years. Make sure there are no ink traces
on the battery: there is a risk of
improper electrical contact.
Irregular operation
If the battery is too low to ensure
operation, you can start the engine
(insert the electronic key in the reader)
and lock/unlock the vehicle doors (refer
to the "Locking/unlocking the doors”
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter).

WARNING
1)Never leave the vehicle unguarded with
the electronic key and a child, a
handicapped person or an animal inside,

your own safety or that of others who
could start the engine, setting in motion
equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot
and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior
temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of
death or serious injury.
2)Never use the centralised door closing if
someone is still in the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
1)Used batteries may be harmful to the
environment if not disposed of correctly.
They must be disposed of as specified by
law in the special containers or taken to a
Fiat Dealership, which will take care of their
disposal.

STEERING WHEEL/
POWER STEERING
STEERING WHEEL
ADJUSTMENT
26) 27) 28)
1)
Height and depth steering wheel
adjustment
Pull lever 1 fig. 64 and position the
wheel in the desired place: push the
lever beyond the point of resistance to
lock the wheel.
Make sure the wheel is properly locked
in place.
Variable power steering
The variable power steering is an
electronic system that varies the
steering force according to the vehicle's
speed.The steering is thus less stiff when
parking (for greater comfort), but it gets
stiffer as driving at high speeds).
WARNING
26)Adjustments must be carried out only
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
off.
27)Never stop the engine when going
downhill, and in general when the vehicle is
moving (turning the engine off disengages
the power steering).
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving the
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that, in addition to invalidating the
warranty, could adversely affect
performance, cause serious safety
problems and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
IMPORTANT
1)With the engine stopped or in case of
system breakdown, you can still turn the
steering wheel. You need to apply more
effort.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
29)
This system lets you reduce fuel
consumption and harmful gas
emissions. When you start the vehicle,
the system is automatically activated.
When driving, the system stops the
engine (in stand-by) while the vehicle is
not moving (traffic jam, stop for a traffic
light, etc.).
OPERATING MODE
The engine is put in stand-by if:the vehicle was driven since its last
stop;
the gear is in neutral;
the clutch pedal is released;
the vehicle speed is lower than
3 km/h.
2) 3) 4)
The instrument panel warning lightturns on to indicate the engine is in
standby.
The vehicle's equipment remains
functioning for the entire time the
engine is off.
The engine is automatically restarted
when the clutch pedal is pressed and
the vehicle is put in gear.

ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION OF THE
SYSTEM
Press button 1 fig. 65 to deactivate the
function. The dedicated message will
appear on the instrument panel and the
warning light 2 fig. 65 on the button will
turn on.
Pressing again will reactivate the
system. The appropriate message will
appear on the instrument panel and the
warning light 2 on the button 1 will turn
off.
The system re-activates automatically
whenever the vehicle is voluntarily
restarted (refer to the "Starting the
engine” paragraph in the “Starting and
driving” chapter).
NOTES: With the engine in stand-by,
press button 1: the engine restarts
automatically.Special cases
For vehicles with an electronic key,
with the system activated, engine off
(traffic jam, stopping at a red light, etc.),
if the driver rises up from his seat or
unbuckles his seat belt, the contact is
disengaged. To restart the Start&Stop
system, press the ignition button (see
"Starter switch” paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
In case the engine stops, if the
system is activated, press down hard
on the clutch pedal to restart it.

(refer to the "Air conditioning"paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter);
the engine coolant liquid temperature
is not sufficient;
the anti-particulate filter automatic
regeneration is underway;
Or:

turns on to indicate that the engine
cannot be put in standby.
NOTES:To refuel, the engine must be
turned off (and not in stand-by): you
must stop the engine (refer to the
"Starting the engine” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter):
RESTARTING
