1)

REQUEST FOR

ADDITIONAL REMOTE

CONTROLS

The system can recognise up to 8

keys with incorporated remote control.

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

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.

3) 4)

Activating the device

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.

Deactivating the device

The system is disabled automatically on

every door in the following cases:

by unlocking the doors;

by turning the ignition key to the

MAR position.

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)

Do not swallow the battery. Danger of

chemical burns. The keys contain a small

battery. If the battery is swallowed, it can

cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours

and cause death. Keep new and used

batteries out of the reach of children. If

the battery compartment does not close

securely, discontinue use of the product

and keep it out of reach of children. If you

believe that batteries may have been

swallowed or inserted inside the body,

seek medical attention immediately. The

emergency key (where provided) must be

immediately inserted into the electronic key

to prevent easy access to the battery.

3)

Once the safe 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.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

20

4)

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.

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. 10:

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.

10

F0T0039

STEERING COLUMN

LOCK

Activation

When the device is at STOP, remove

the key and turn the steering wheel

until it locks.

Deactivation

Move the steering wheel slightly as you

turn the ignition key to MAR-ON.

5)

5)

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 aftermarket 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 vehicle 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

ignition key is removed.

Each time the vehicle is started turning

the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE

system control unit sends a recognition

code to the engine control module to

deactivate the immobiliser.

If, during ignition, the code is not
correctly recognized, a warning light

is lit on the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP

and then back to MAR; if the lock

continues, try with the other keys

provided with the vehicle. Contact a

Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start

the engine.

WARNING 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.

21

Activation of

warning

light while driving

If the

warning light (or symbol in

the display) comes on, this means that

the system is running a self-diagnosis

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

will 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

seconds. If the problem persists,

contact the Fiat Dealership.

The code is not recognised if the

warning light

(or symbol on the

display) stays on. In this case, turn the

key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is

still locked, try again with the other

keys that come with the vehicle. If you

still cannot start the engine, perform

the emergency start procedure (see

chapter “In an emergency”) and then

contact the Fiat Dealership.

The electronic components inside

the key may be damaged if the key is

subjected to strong shocks.

ALARM SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The alarm, in addition to all the

previously described remote control

functions, is controlled by the receiver

located under the dashboard near the

fuse box.

ALARM ACTIVATION

The alarm goes off in the following

cases:

unauthorised opening of a door, the

bonnet, the tailgate or a sliding side

door (if present) (perimeter protection)

unauthorized operation of the starting

device (key turned on using a key that

is not enabled)

cutting of the battery leads;

movement inside the passenger

compartment (volumetric 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.
Volumetric and antilifting protections

are disabled by pressing the control

button installed on the front dashboard

(see paragraph "Antilift protections).

WARNING The engine stop function is

guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which

is automatically activated when the

TURNING THE ALARM ON

With the doors and bonnet closed and

the ignition key either turned to STOP

or removed, point the key with the

remote control towards the vehicle and

press and release button .
With the exception of some markets,

the system emits an acoustic signal

("beep") and activates door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the

turning on of the alarm: if a fault is

detected, the system produces another

acoustic signal after approximately 4

seconds from switch-on.
In this case switch off the alarm

by pressing

, check that all the

doors, bonnet and tailgate are closed

correctly; then switch the alarm back
on by pressing .
If a door or the bonnet is not properly

shut, it will be excluded from the testing

by the alarm system.
A fault has occurred in system

operation if the alarm produces an

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

acoustic signal even when the doors,

bonnet and boot are correctly closed.

Contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING The alarm does not come

on when the central locking is activated

using the metal insert in the key.

WARNING The alarm is adapted to

meet requirements in various countries.

TURNING THE ALARM

OFF

F0T0159

BREAK IN ATTEMPT

INDICATION

The warning light

comes on or the

symbol appears on the display with

a specific message when the panel

lights up according to vehicle version

to indicate a break-in attempt (see

paragraph in "Knowing the instrument

panel").

DISARMING THE ALARM

To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.

during a long storage), simply lock

the vehicle by turning the metal insert

of the key with remote control in the

lock. In this case, the car will not be

protected by the alarm system, while

the engine immobiliser function is

ensured by the Fiat CODE system,

which is automatically activated when

the key is removed from the ignition

switch.
