F1D0727

To replace the battery, proceed as

follows:

press button (A) fig. 3 and open the

metal insert (B);

turn screw (C) to

using a fine bit

screwdriver;

take out the battery case (D) and

to .

1)

Press button (B) only with the key away

from your body, especially your eyes and

from objects which could get damaged

(e.g. your clothes). Do not leave the key

14

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.

1)

The electronic components inside

the key may be damaged if the key is

subjected to strong shocks. In order

to ensure complete efficiency of the

electronic devices inside the key, it should

never be exposed to direct sunlight.

1)

Used batteries should be disposed

of, as specified by law, in the special

containers, otherwise take them to a

Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their

disposal.

IGNITION DEVICE

3) 4) 5) 6)

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. audio

system, central door locking system,

etc.) can operate;

MAR: driving position. All electrical

devices are enabled;

AVV: engine starting.

4

F1D0006

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.

STEERING 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 and

turn the key to MAR.

3)

If the ignition device has been tampered

with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it

checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving

again.

4)

Always remove the key when you

leave your car to prevent someone from

accidentally operating the controls.

Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage 1st gear if the car is parked uphill

or reverse if the car is parked downhill.

Never leave children unattended in the car.

5)

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 badly affect

performance and safety, invalidate

the warranty and also result in non-

compliance of the car with type-approval

requirements.

6)

Never remove the key while the

car is moving. The steering wheel will

automatically lock as soon as it is turned.

This holds true for cars being towed as

well.

15

THE FIAT CODE

SYSTEM

This is an electronic engine locking

system which increases protection

against attempted thefts of the car.

It is automatically activated when the

ignition key is removed.

Each time the car is started by turning

the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE

system control unit sends a recognition

code to the Powertrain Control Module

to deactivate the immobiliser.

If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the

warning

light switches on in the instrument

panel. 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 car. Contact a Fiat

Dealership if you still cannot start the

engine.
If the

warning light switches on,

this means that the system is running

a self-diagnosis (for example due to a

voltage drop). Should the fault persist,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING Each key has its own

code which must be stored by the

system’s control unit. To store new

keys, up to a maximum of eight,

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 key codes

not presented during the programming

procedure will be deleted to ensure

that any keys that are lost or stolen

cannot be used to start the engine.

Activation of

warning light while

driving

If the

warning light switches on,

this means that the system is running

a self-diagnosis (for example due to a

voltage drop).

If the

warning light stays on,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

for the hybrid System is installed under

the left front seat.

4)

8)

All adjustments must be made with the

car stationary.

9)

If a side bag is fitted, it is dangerous

to use seat covers not available from

Lineaccessori MOPAR®.

10)

After releasing the adjustment lever,

always check that the seat is locked on the

guides by trying to move it back and forth.

If the seat is not locked into place, it may

unexpectedly slide and cause the driver to

lose control of the car.

11)

If passengers are seating in the rear

seats, remove all potentially dangerous

objects which may cause injuries in the

event of an accident.

12)

When adjusting the left front seat, the

auxiliary battery may become available.

Take care not rest your feet on the auxiliary

battery cover to avoid damaging it and to

avoid trapping your feet between the seat

and the battery.

2)

The fabric upholstery of the seats has

been designed to withstand long-term

wear deriving from normal use of the car.

Some precautions are however required.

Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing

against clothing accessories such as

metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by

applying a high pressure on the fabric in a

small area, could cause it to break, thereby

damaging the upholstery.

3)

Before tilting the backrest, remove any

objects on the seat cushion.

4)

Do not rest your feet on the protective

cover of the auxiliary lithium battery under

the front left seat to avoid damaging the

cover or battery.

and head restraint in the event of a rear

impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"

effect.
The head restraint may move when the

backrest is pressed by the occupant’s

torso or hand: this behaviour is caused

by the system and should not be

considered a malfunction.
