A CODE card fig. 5is provided with
the keys. This CODE card bears the
electronic code used by the Fiat
Dealershipswhenever the vehicle
cannot be started. The key fig. 4is fitted with 4 but-
tons:
A -to activate the central locking
system, the alarm and the localisation
function;
B -to activate the central unlocking
system and deactivate the alarm;
C -to lock/unlock the right-hand
side sliding door;
D -to lock/unlock the left-hand side
sliding door.
By pressing button Athe so-called
“localisation” function is turned on: all
the passenger compartment lights and
direction indicators are switched on
for a couple of seconds. Such function
is recognised by the system up to a
distance of around 30 meters from the
vehicle.
The key is also fitted with a metal in-
sert Fwhich can be pushed inside the
key grip by pressing button E.The remote control inside the key
works on radio-frequency.
IMPORTANTIn order to ensure
perfect efficiency of the electronic de-
vices contained inside the keys, they
should never be exposed to direct
sunlight. When pressing the but-
ton E, take care to pre-
vent the metal insert
from causing harm or damage
when it comes out. The button
E should only be pressed when
the key is away from the body, in
particular from the eyes and
from objects that can be spoilt
(e.g. clothes). Make sure the key
can never be touched by others,
especially children, who may in-
advertently press button E.The electronic compo-
nents inside the key may
get damaged if the key is
submitted to sharp knocks.

REPLACING THE KEY
BATTERIES fig. 6-7
If the doors do not lock and the di-
rection indicators do not come on
when the button on the remote con-
trol is pressed, replace the batteries
with others of the same time:
– open the metal insert;
– open the plastic casing Aby forc-
ing recess B;
– remove the printed circuit Cwith
the battery;
– extract the battery Dand replace
it respecting the polarity;
– refit the printed circuit Cwith the
battery facing inwards;
– close the plastic casing A.Since the electronic alarm absorbs
electricity, if you will not be using the
vehicle for more than a month, you
are advised to switch the system off
with the remote control. This will pre-
vent the battery from going flat. All the keys and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new
owner when selling the car.

This code is masked by a special
paint, which should be removed when
the CODE card is used. The CODE
card should therefore be kept in a safe
place and not in the vehicle.Used batteries pollute
the environment. Dispose
of them in the special
containers as specified by current
legislation or take them to your
nearest Fiat Dealership, which
will deal with their disposal. Do
not expose them to naked flames
and high temperatures. Keep out
of children’s reach.

jury, even mortal, regardless of
the seriousness of the crash that
triggered it. Children may be
placed on the front seat of cars
fitted with passenger’s air bag de-
activation.
In this case, it is absolutely nec-
essary to check the warning light
“on the cluster to make sure de-
activation has actually taken
place (see paragraph Front and
side air bags at item Front air
bags). The front passenger seat
shall be adjusted in the most
backward position to prevent any
contact between child’s seat and
dashboard.For optimal protection in the event
of a crash, all passengers must be seat-
ed and wearing adequate restraint sys-
tems.
This is especially relevant for chil-
dren.
This prescription is compulsory in all
EC countries according to EC Direc-
tive 2003/20/EC.
A child’s head is larger and heavier
than an adult’s head with respect to
their body weight. Moreover, a child’s
head muscular and bone structure is
not fully developed. For these reasons,
children require specific restraint sys-
tems, different from those required by
adult passengers.The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-R44.
This Standard enforces the use of re-
straint systems classified in five groups:
Group 0weight 0-10 kg
Group 0+weight 0-13 kg
Group 1weight 9-18 kg
Group 2weight 15-25 kg
Group 3weight 22-36 kg
The groups partially overlap. This is
because there are systems which cov-
er more than one weight groupfig. 65.

As the child grows, passing to the
next weight group (group 1) the child
safety chair must be fitted in the ahead
direction; perform this operation by
following the instructions provided by
the child seat’s Manufacturer.
With the child’s seat in this position,
adjust the corresponding front seat in
such a way that the Kiddy Isofix seat
structure leans against the front seat
backrest.

For proper mounting proceed as fol-
lows:
– check whether the release lever B
is at rest position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;
– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;With the child seat in this position,
the corresponding front seat must be
positioned halfway the sliding guides
travel, with the backrest in vertical po-
sition.

– for seats positioned facing the run-
ning direction, fasten the upper belt (in
the upper seat pocket) to the ring A-
fig. 72located on the floor immedi-
ately behind the seat:
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.
With this configuration, the child is
secured also by the car seat belts
fig. 73and by the upper belt.
Keep to the instructions provided by
the child restraint system Manufac-
turer for fastening the specific child re-
straint system you are using.

Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
The instrument shows the level of fu-
el in the tank.
The reserve warning light Kwill light
up to indicate that there are approxi-
mately 5÷8 litres of fuel level left in the
tank and that refuelling is needed as
soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.

The navigation system
helps the driver while dri-
ving by suggesting, vocal-
ly and graphically, the best route
to be followed to reach the pre-
set destination. The suggestions
given by the navigation system do
not exempt the driver from fully
responsibility due to driving be-
haviour and compliance with
road and other traffic regulations.
The responsibility for road safety
always and anyway lies with the
vehicle’s driver.RESETTING
To reset the maintenance indicator:
– turn the ignition key to S;
– press and keep button Cpressed;

sive resetting until = 0 will be dis-
played;
– release button C and warning lamp
Awill go off to confirm successful re-
setting.
Your Fiat Dealership will reset
the maintenance indicator after
each control carried out.
INFOTELEMATIC
CONNECT SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle can be fitted with the in-
fotelematic CONNECT system which
includes a radio with CD-ROM/Audio
player, GSM cell phone, navigator and
on-board computer, designed in ac-
cordance with the specific features of
the passenger compartment and with
a personalised design that blends with
the styling of the dashboard.
The system is installed in an user-
friendly position for the driver and the
graphics on the front panel make it
easy to quickly locate the controls
which facilitate the use of them.
To use the system keep to the
instructions and warnings con-
cerning both its functions and the
relative road safety rules con-
tained in the specific Annex pro-
vided with the present Owner
Handbook.

Feet
Air is directed towards the feet
through:
– three front vents for the first row
(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);
– four vents on the floor (2 for the
second row and 2 for the third row).
Windscreen/feet
Air is distributed with the same per-
centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.
This type of air distribution is applied
by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.
MAX-DEF function
Air is completely directed to the
windscreen and front side windows.
This function is used for the wind-
screen/side window rapid defrost-ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.
Such function is activated manually
and enables the following functions:
– ventilation with maximum air ca-
pacity;
– air mixing completely hot;
– air recirculation off (outside air);
– compressor on;
– air distribution to the windscreen;
– rear heated window on.
When the MAX-DEF function is on
it is possible to alter the air capacity
and to deactivate the rear heated win-
dow.
The rear heated window works for
a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.AIR QUALITY
The system is fitted with a pollen fil-
ter which prevents dust particles and
pollen coming from the outside from
getting into the system.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership at least once a year,
possibly at the beginning of spring/
summer.
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should check
or change the pollen filter more fre-
quently.

IMPORTANTWhen the engine is
started with the climate control sys-
tem in automatic mode and the ex-
ternal temperature is very low, the fan
may not be activated. Do not consid-
er it a malfunction; the system will re-
store the normal operation as soon as
the temperature threshold set by the
system is reached.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
Air distribution options, controlled
automatically or manually, are the fol-
lowing:
– ventilation (front)
– bilevel (front/feet)
– feet
– windscreen/feet
– MAX-DEF function.
Air is also delivered to second and
third row seat.Ventilation
The treated air flow passes through
5 front vents placed on the edge and
in the middle of the dashboard. The air
flow can be directed both horizontal-
ly and vertically by adjusting manually
the tab position and the control lever.
Air capacity can be adjusted by ro-
tating the vent sliders.
With this setting the system enables
air capacity variation for the second
and third row.
Bilevel function
The air flow is distributed in the fol-
lowing way: 45% ventilation, 45% feet,
10% windscreen.
With this setting treated air is di-
rected towards the feet of front and
rear seat passengers and towards the
dashboard vents. It also enables air ca-
pacity variation for the second and
third row.Feet
Air is directed towards the feet
through:
– three front vents for the first row
(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);
– four vents on the floor (2 for the
second row and 2 for the third row).
Windscreen/feet
Air is distributed with the same per-
centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.
This type of air distribution is applied
by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.
