Replacing the remote control cover fig. 13
To replace the remote control cover, follow the procedure
shown in the diagram.ALARM (where provided)
The alarm, which is provided in addition to the remote
control functions described previously, is controlled by a
receiver located under the dashboard, near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened ille-
gally (perimeter protection);
when the ignition system is operated (ignition key ro-
tated to MAR);
when the battery cables are cut;
when someone is moving inside the passenger com-
partment (volume-sensing protection);
when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
According to the market, when the alarm is tripped this
operates the alarm siren and direction indicators (for ap-
proximately 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number
of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal oper-
ation.
The volume sensing and anti-tilt protection can be ex-
cluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front
courtesy light (see “volume sensing/anti-tilt protection”).

VOLUME SENSING/ANTI-TILT PROTECTION
To guarantee the correct operation of the protection, close
the side windows and sunroof completely (where provid-
ed).
If necessary this function can be excluded (e.g. when leav-
ing pets on board) by pressing button A-fig. 14, located
on the front courtesy light, before activating the alarm.
When the function is disabled, this is indicated by the LED
on the button flashing for several seconds. Any disabling
of the volume sensing/anti-tilt protection must be repeat-
ed each time the instrument panel is switched off.
BREAK IN ATTEMPT INDICATION
Any break in attempt is indicated by the
Ywarning light
(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together with a mes-
sage shown on the display (see “Instrument panel warn-
ing lights”).DISABLING THE ALARM
To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy
period of idleness), simply lock the vehicle by turning the
metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote
control goes flat or the system fails, the alarm can be
switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and
turning it to MAR.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a long time, partic-
ularly if there are many passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from misting up.
D Air recirculation on/off button
(LED lights when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button (LED
lights when function is on).
F Heated rear windscreen on/off button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button is

Environmental lights are provided as part of the cour-
tesy light; these illuminate the vehicle when the dipped
beam headlights or side lights are switched on.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure that
both switches are in the central position: lights off with
doors closed in order to avoid draining the battery. In any
case, if the switch is left inadvertently in the On position,
the lights will turn off automatically 15 minutes after turn-
ing the engine off.
Courtesy light timing
To facilitate getting in/out of the car at night or with poor
lighting, 2 different timed switching on modes have been
provided.
Light timing when getting into the car
The courtesy lights will turn on as follows:
for about 10 seconds when the front doors are un-
locked;
for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition key is turned to
MAR.Light timing when getting out of the car
After removing the key from the ignition switch, the cour-
tesy lights will turn on as follows:
within 2 minutes of turning the engine off, for about
10 seconds;
for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
for about 10 seconds when one of the doors is closed.
in the event of the fuel cut-off system cutting in, the
lights remain on for approximately 15 minutes, after
which they go out automatically.
The lights go out immediately when the doors are locked
(unless the fuel cut-off system has cut in.).
