You are recommended to read carefully the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end of the page:
personal safety;
the car’s wellbeing;
environmental protection.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers:
❒
the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity
❒
the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers.
Best regards and good motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Croma versions. As a consequence, you should consider only
the information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you purchased.
MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
K
ENGINE STARTING
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
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 (positions P or N with
automatic transmission); fully depress the clutch pedal (or brake pedal with automatic transmission) without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to START and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral (positions P or N with
automatic transmission); fully depress the clutch pedal (or brake pedal with automatic transmission) without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to ON and wait for the Yand mwarning lights to go off; turn the
ignition key to START 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
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car.
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.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your 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.
OPERATION
Each time the key is fitted into the ignition
switch, 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 removed, the
Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the warning light
(where pro-
Y
vided) turns on accompanied by the related message on the display (see chapter
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the key should be removed and
refitted; 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 to Fiat Dealership.
Warning light
coming on
Y
when driving
❒
If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a
self-test (for example for a voltage
drop). At the first stop, turn the ignition key to OFF and then back to
ON: if no failure is detected warning
light Ywill not come on.
❒
If the warning light Ystays on, repeat the procedure described previously leaving the key at OFF for over
30 seconds. Should the inconvenience
persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may be damaged
if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.

ALARM
(where provided)
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 with unauthorised key;
❒
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.
Volumetric and anti-raising protections
can be cut off by operating the front ceiling light controls (see paragraphs “Volumetric protection sensors” and “Anti-raising sensor” on the following pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.
HOW TO ACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and
ignition key to OFF or removed, point
the key with remote control or removed,
point the key with remote control in the
direction of the car, then press and release
the button
Á.
With the exception of certain markets,
the system sounds a “beep” and the doors
are locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by
a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected
the system sounds a further warning
“beep” and the display shows the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, switch the alarm system off by
pressing button Ë, check that the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then
switch the system on again by pressing
button Á.
fig. 12
F0L0100m
If the doors, bonnet and boot are shut
correctly and the warning “beep” is repeated, the system self-diagnostics has detected a system operating fault. It is therefore necessary to contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Operating a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
IMPORTANT The alarm is built in compliance with the law and regulations of the
different destination countries.
14
HOW TO DEACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
Press button
Ë
of the key with remote
control.
The system will react as follows (with the
exception of certain markets):
❒
two brief flashes of the direction indicators;
❒
two brief “beeps”;
❒
door unlocking.
IMPORTANT Operating a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
To deactivate the alarm, turn the ignition
key to ON.

DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒
door internal handles;
❒
button A and B for locking/unlocking
the doors fig. 15;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking).
The dead 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 dead 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.
fig. 15
F0L0003m
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated only using the metal insert of the key on
the driver’s side door as described previously: in this case the dead lock device is active only on the rear doors.
INDEX
16
fig. 16
F0L0100m
Device activation is signalled by three
flashes of the direction indicators and
flashing of the led on the driver door panel (see the table on next page).
Should one of the doors be not perfectly
closed, the dead lock device is not activated, thus preventing that a person getting into the car from the open door remains blocked inside the passenger’s compartment when he/she closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒
when unlocking the doors by the remote control;
❒
when unlocking only the driver’s door
by the remote control;
❒
when turning the ignition key to ON.

IGNITION SWITCH
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 17:
❒
OFF: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, power windows…) can work.
❒
ON: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
❒
START: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to OFF before repeating the
starting operation.
fig. 17
F0L0004m
WARNING
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
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 (position P with automatic transmission). Never leave unsupervised
children in the car.
Engaging
The steering column lock will engage 5
seconds after removing the key from the
ignition switch (engine off).
Disengaging
The steering column lock will disengage
after fitting the key into the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT Switching the engine off
when the car is running will not engage the
steering column lock. The multifunction
display will show the relevant message
(see section “Warning lights and Messages”).
IMPORTANT If, after trying to turn the
instrument panel on and/or to start the
engine, the display will show the message
“Check vehicle protection system”, repeat
the operation rocking the steering wheel
to facilitate steering unlocking. Displaying
of this message does not impair steering
column lock operation.
IMPORTANT When the vehicle is moving, the electronic key must remain in the
ignition device. That ensures that the steering lock is disabled during vehicle handling (e.g., when the vehicle is towed).

REV. COUNTER fig. 18
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
The rev. counter end of scale values can
vary based on the version.
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.
fig. 18
FF0L0512m
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed.
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.
