REV COUNTER

This indicates the engine rpm.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the speed.

This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the activation of the climate control system or the fan. It should not be considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change in revs is used to protect the battery charge.

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.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

There is an electronic device in each key which can identify the signal emitted, when the engine is started, from an aerial built into the ignition switch. The signal is the "password", different every time the vehicle is started, through which the control unit recognises the key and enables starting.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has acknowledged the code received from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management control unit.

If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the display) switches on in the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system’s control unit. To have new keys stored, up to a maximum number of eight keys, contact a Fiat Dealership and be ready to present all the keys you have in your possession, the CODE card, a personal identity document and the car ownership documents. The codes for keys not presented during the storing procedure will be deleted to ensure that any keys that are lost or stolen cannot be used to start the engine.

SAFE LOCK DEVICE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This safety device inhibits the operation of:

❒ interior handles; ❒ door locking/unlocking button on the central trim

fig. 11;

thereby preventing the opening of the doors from inside the passenger compartment if there has been a break in attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).

The safe lock device therefore offers the best possible protection against break-in attempts. We recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unattended.

ALARM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The alarm, in addition to all the remote control functions described previously, is controlled by the receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse box.

ALARM ACTIVATION

The alarm intervenes in the following instances: ❒ when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened

illegally (perimeter protection);

❒ when the ignition system is started up (ignition key

turned to MAR-ON);

❒ cutting of the battery leads; ❒ movement inside the passenger compartment

(volume sensing protection); ❒ anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle. Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm

causes the activation of the siren and the direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number of cycles depend on the sales market.

There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the system returns to normal operation.

The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be excluded by adjusting the dedicated control on the front roof light (see “Volume sensing/Anti-lift protection”).

IMPORTANT The engine stop function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE which is automatically activated when the key is extracted from the ignition switch.

TURNING THE ALARM ON

With the doors, bonnet and tailgate closed and the ignition key either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with remote control towards the vehicle and press and release button

Excluding some markets, the system produces an acoustic signal (beep) and enables door locking.

The switching on of the alarm is preceded by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system emits a new acoustic signal together with the display of a message (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).

In this case switch off the alarm by pressing that all the doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed correctly; then switch the alarm back on by pressing the

button.

If a door, the bonnet and the tailgate are not properly shut, they will be excluded from the check by the alarm system.

If the alarm emits an acoustic signal even when the doors, bonnet and tailgate are correctly closed, a failure has occurred in system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT The alarm does not come on when the central locking is activated using the metal insert in the key.

, check

IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various countries.

TURNING THE ALARM OFF

Press button

on the key with remote control.

The following operations are performed (excluding some versions for specific markets):

❒ direction indicators flash twice; ❒ there are two short acoustic signals (beeps); ❒ doors are unlocked.

BREAK-IN ATTEMPT INDICATION

Any break-in attempt is indicated by the warning light

(or symbol in the display) lighting up, together with a message shown in the display (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).

DISABLING THE ALARM

To turn the alarm off completely (for example, if the vehicle is not being used for a long time), the vehicle must be closed by turning the metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

SAFETY

STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT The alarm does not switch off when the central opening is activated using the metal insert in the key.

VOLUME SENSING/ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION

To guarantee the correct operation of the protection system it is advisable to shut all the side windows and the sun roof (for versions/markets, where provided).

If necessary, the function can be turned off (if, for example, you are leaving an animal in the car) by pressing button A fig. 12, located in the front roof light, before activating the alarm itself.

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-lift protection must be repeated each time the instrument panel is switched off.

IMPORTANT If the batteries of the key with remote control run out or the system fails, the alarm can be switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and turning it to MAR-ON.
