REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the Eu-

Kropean specification EN 228.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused.

ENGINE STARTING

Petrol engines with mechanical gearbox: 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.

Petrol engines with Selespeed gearbox: keep the brake pedal fully depressed; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started; the transmission sets to neutral automatically.

Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights Yand m to go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

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. 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.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (the car’s wellbeing).

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your car. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet fig. 5.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

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.

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 Ywill 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 Ycoming on when driving

If the warning light Y turns on, this means that the system is running a selftest (for example for a voltage drop).

If the warning light Ycontinues to stay on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.

Replacing the battery of the key with remote control

If, when pressing button Ë, Á, or R, the led F-fig. 12 (where provided) on the key flashes briefly only once, the battery should be replaced with an equivalent one that can be purchased at common stores.

Battery replacement:

press button A and move the metal insert B to open position;

turn the screw C to : using a fine bit screwdriver;

take out the battery case D and replace the battery E making sure that the bias is correct;

re-insert the battery holder D in the

key and lock it turning the screw C to

;.

Used batteries are harmful to the environment. They should be disposed of as specified by law in the special containers

provided, or take them to a Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.

DEAD LOCK DEVICE (where provided)

This safety device enables to inhibit:

door internal handles and safety lock button;

button A-fig. 13 for locking/unlocking the doors, placed on the driver door panel mask;

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.

WARNING

If the battery of the key with remote control is down, the dead lock device can only be activat-

ed through the metal insert of the key in the revolving plugs of the doors as described previously: in this case the dead lock device is active only on the rear doors.

Device activation

The device is automatically activated on every door in the following cases:

turning twice the key without remote control (where provided) in closing direction;

pressing twice button Áof the key with remote control.

Device activation is signalled by three flashings of the direction indicators and flashing of the led on the driver door panel (see the 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 unlocking only the driver’s door;

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.

Volumetric and anti-raising protections can be cut off by operating the front ceiling light controls (see paragraphs “Volumetric protection sensors” and “Anti-rais- ing 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

With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and the ignition key in the STOP position or with the key 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 alarm on again by pressing button Á.

Otherwise, the door, bonnet or tailgate that is not shut properly will be excluded from the alarm system control.

If the doors, bonnet and boot are shut correctly and the control signal is repeated, the system self-diagnostics has detected a system operating fault. It is therefore necessary to contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT When operating the central door locking with the metal insert A- fig. 14 of the key, the alarm is not activated.

IMPORTANT The electronic alarm is built in compliance with the law and regulations of the different countries.

HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE ALARM

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 the central door locking with the metal insert of the key will not deactivate the alarm.

VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION SENSORS

The volumetric sensors are inside the front ceiling light in the passenger’s compartment. To make sure that the volumetric sensors are working properly, check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows and Skywindow (where provided) are shut.

fig. 15	F0C0286m

Volumetric protection deactivation

If it is necessary to switch on the alarm when animals or people are in the car, press button A-fig. 15 on the front ceiling light to deactivate the volumetric protection.

Deactivation is needed also in the presence of additional independent heater and when it is switched on with the remote control.

Protection cut-out stays on until activating the central door opening again.

18

ANTI-RAISING SENSOR

The anti-raising sensor detects any abnormal car raising/sloping, even partial (e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).

This sensor can detect the smallest car sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally and transversally.

Sideslip angle changes lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flattening) are not considered.

fig. 16	F0C0287m

Anti-raising protection deactivation

To deactivate the anti-raising protection (for example when towing the car with alarm on) press button A-fig. 16 on the front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on until activating the central door opening again.

INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS TO BREAK IN

Any attempt to break in is indicated by warning light Yon the instrument panel with the relevant message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM SYSTEM

To deactivate the alarm system completely (for instance during prolonged inactivity of the car) simply lock the car turning the metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock.

IMPORTANT To cut-out the electronic alarm if remote control batteries are down or the system is failing, fit the key into the ignition switch and turn it to

MAR.

IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to 3 different positions:

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.

fig. 17	F0C0164m

WARNING

If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked over by a Fiat

Dealership before restarting to drive.

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 chil-

dren in the car.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engaging

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

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.

SPEEDOMETER fig. 18		REV. COUNTER fig. 18a
It shows the car speed.		The rev counter shows engine rpm. The
		needle pointed to the red area (danger)
		indicates excessive high engine speed. Do
		not drive for long periods with the needle
		in this area.

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.

ENGINE COOLANT

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and begins working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

Under normal conditions, the needle should move to different positions of the scale according to the conditions of use of the car.

C - Low engine coolant temperature.

H - High engine coolant temperature.

fig. 19	F0C0528m

The turning on of the warning light A-fig. 19 (together with the message shown on the display) indicates that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the needle reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE

This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.

The reserve warning light B- fig. 19 turns on to indicate that approx. 8 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

E - tank empty.

F - tank full (see the indications given in paragraph “At the filling station").

Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalyst.

IMPORTANT If the needle sets at E with warning light B flashing, it means that the system is malfunctioning. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected.
