OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text. The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering cars with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on cars with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure. To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook. Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle. There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries. Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed. WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle integrity;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

SYMBOLS

Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any modification or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

Opening the windows with the remote control

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Hold the button (on the key)

pressed for more than 3 seconds to open the windows. Keep the button pressed to open the windows completely; if the pressure is suspended, the windows will immediately stop in their current position. The same type of opening is also possible by operating the pawl of the front door handles.

Closing the windows with the remote control

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Hold the button (on the key)

pressed for more than 3 seconds to close the windows. To close the windows completely, keep the button pressed; if the pressure is suspended, the windows will immediately stop in their current position. The same type of closing is also possible by operating the pawl of the front door handles.

IMPORTANT During this operation the window ant-crush safety system is inhibited.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS

The system can acknowledge up to 8 remote controls. Should a new remote control be necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership, taking a personal identity document and the vehicle ownership documents with you.

DEAD LOCK DEVICE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This security device prevents the opening of the doors from inside the passenger compartment if there has been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

has been broken). The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible protection against break in attempts. We recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unattended.

2) 3)

Turning the device on

The system is automatically enabled on all the doors by pressing button

twice on the key with remote control. The direction indicators flash twice to let you know that the device is active.

If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead lock device will not be activated, thus preventing a person getting into the car through the open door and, on shutting, it, remaining stuck inside the passenger compartment.

Turning the device off

The system is disabled automatically on every door when:

by unlocking the doors; by turning the ignition key to the

MAR position.

WARNING

1) Button B 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). Do not leave the key unattended to avoid the button being accidentally pressed while it is being handled, e.g. by a child.

2) Once the dead lock system is engaged it is impossible to open the doors from inside the vehicle. Before engaging the system please therefore check that there is no one left on board.

3) If the remote control battery is flat, the system can be engaged by inserting the metal key in the door lock as described previously: in this case, the device only remains active for the rear doors.

WARNING

1) Used batteries are harmful to the

environment. You can dispose of them either in the correct containers as specified by law or by taking them to a Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 4:

STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system, alarm, etc.) can work.

MAR: driving position. All electric devices can operate.

AVV: engine starting. The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start, before the starting operation can be repeated.

F0T0039

STEERING LOCK

Activation

When the device is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

Turning off

Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition key to MAR-ON

WARNING

4) Never extract the key while the vehicle

is moving. The steering wheel will automatically lock as soon as it is turned. This also applies to cases in which the vehicle is towed. It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that could adversely affect performance, invalidate the warranty, cause serious safety problems and also result in the car not meeting type-approval requirements.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking system which increases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle. It is automatically activated when the key is removed from the ignition device. Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the Powertrain Control Module to deactivate the immobiliser. If, during ignition, the code is not correctly recognised, the warning light

lights up on the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR;ifthe lock continues, try with the other keys provided 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. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to 8) stored with a code.

Activation of the

warning light while

driving

If the warning light (or symbol in the display) comes on, this means that the system is running a selfdiagnosis test (caused, for example, by a voltage drop). When you stop for the first time, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR: the warning light not light up if no faults are detected.

If the warning light (or symbol on the display) stays on, repeat the procedure described above leaving the key at STOP for longer than 30
