REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the Eu-
ropean specification EN 228.
K
ENGINE STARTING
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. Using other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cover for caused damages as a consequence.
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights Y (or symbol on display) and m
to go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can support the required load.
CODE card (for version/markets where applicable)
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. The code card shall be used for requesting additional keys.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

To further protect you car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password” by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.
INDEX
8
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instrument panel warning light
Y (or symbol on display) will turn on.
In this case, the key should be moved to
the STOP position and then back to
MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up
to a maximum of eight, apply solely to Fiat Dealership taking with you the CODE
card and the keys, a personal identity document and the car’s ownership documents. The codes of the keys not provided during the new memorising procedure
are erased from the memory. This is to
ensure that any lost or stolen keys can no
longer be used to start the car.
Warning light Y (or symbol on
display) coming on when driving
❒
If the warning light Y (or symbol on
display) turns on, this means that the
system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop).
❒
If the warning light Y (or symbol on
display) continues to stay on, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may be damaged
if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.

SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒
door internal handles;
❒
button fig. 13 for locking/unlocking the
doors, placed on the central panel;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking).
The safe lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the safe lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this reason, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
safe lock device can only be activated through the metal insert of the key
in the revolving plugs of the doors as
described previously: in this case the
safe lock device is active only on the
rear doors.
Device activation
The device is automatically activated on
every door by pressing twice button Áon
the key with remote control.
Device activation is signalled by three
flashes of the direction indicators and
flashing of the door-lock button led on the
dashboard (see table on next page).
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed,
the dead lock device will not activate, thus
preventing that a person getting into the
car from the open door remains blocked
inside the passenger’s compartment when
she/he closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒
when unlocking the doors;
❒
when turning the ignition key to MAR.

ALARM
(where provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition
to all remote control functions previously described and it is controlled by the receiver located under the dashboard, next
to the fuse box.
WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the following cases:
❒
unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protection);
❒
attempt to start the engine (turning the
ignition key to MAR);
❒
battery cable cutting;
❒
presence of moving bodies in the passenger’s compartment (volumetric protection);
❒
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 seconds). The ways of operating and the number of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protections may be turned off by operating the
control on the front courtesy light (see
“Volume-sensing/anti-lift protection” paragraph).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 16:
❒
STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, central door locking, electronic
alarm, etc.) can work.
❒
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are powered.
❒
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
mechanism that, in the event the engine is
not started, compels the driver to turn the
ignition key back to STOP before repeating the starting operation.
WARNING
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership before restarting to drive.
fig. 16
F0Q0642m
WARNING
When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to
prevent any occupants from accidentally activating the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake
and if the car is parked on uphill slope
to engage the first gear. If the car is
facing downhill, engage the reverse
gear. Never leave unsupervised children in the car.

When the key is at STOP remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until it
locks.
Disengaging
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
WARNING In certain parking conditions
(e.g. wheels steered) the force required
to move the steering wheel to switch the
function off may be high.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever aftermarket operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in noncompliance of the car with homologation requirements.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition
key while the car is moving.
The steering wheel would automatically lock as soon as you try to turn
it. This also applies when the car is
being towed.

It shows the car speed.
DASHBOARD LIGHTING
ADJUSTMENT (Brightness sensor)
(versions Sport with reconfigurable
multifunction display)
The versions Sport with reconfigurable
multifunction Display are provided with
a brightness sensor (located inside the
tachometer), able to detect the environment light conditions and, depending on
the measurement, to adjust the operating mode of the dashboard.
The instrument operates as follows:
❒
in “daylight” mode, the display can be
set on 8 different levels, the dashboard
graphics are turned off and all the indexes are fully lighted and cannot be
adjusted;
❒
in “night” mode, the display, the graphics and the indexes can be set on 8 different levels. The brightness of the bizone automatic climate control system
display and of the car radio display is
accordingly adjusted.
fig. 17
F0Q0606m
The brightness level depends on the settings previously set by means of the Setup
Menu of the reconfigurable multifunctional
display (see “Dimmer” at paragraph “Reconfigurable multifunctional display”).
When travelling, the graphics lighting may
turn on if the lighting in the passenger
compartment changes from “daylight” to
“night” condition (e.g. when entering a
tunnel).
fig. 18
F0Q0607m
REV. COUNTER fig. 18
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
On diesel versions the rev counter end
scale value is 6000 rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden speed increase. This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when
activating the climate control system or
the fan. In particular a slow change in the
speed preserves the battery charge.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The reserve warning light A-fig. 19 turns
on to indicate that approx. 8-10 litres of
fuel are left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see contents of “At the filling
station” paragraph in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank almost empty because the catalytic converter could
become damaged.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to E with
warning light A flashing to indicate that the
system is failing. In this event contact Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
