disabling engine starting.

Activation of the alarm triggers the

acoustic warning and the direction

indicators.

displayed on the instrument panel (see

the instructions in the "Warning lights

and messages" paragraph, "Knowing

the instrument panel" chapter). This

condition leads to the engine switching

off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring

the ignition device to STOP and then to

MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the

other keys provided. If it is still not

possible to start the engine, contact a

Fiat Dealership.

The system does not need to be

enabled/activated: operation is

automatic, regardless of the fact that

the vehicle's doors are locked or

unlocked.

IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted by

the Manufacturer to meet the

requirements of the various countries

where the vehicle is marketed.

SWITCHING ON THE

ALARM

(where provided)

When the ignition device is set to MAR,

the Fiat Code system identifies the

code transmitted by the key. If the code

is recognised as valid, the Fiat Code

system enables engine starting.

When the ignition device is brought

closed and the ignition device turned to

STOP, point the key with remote control

or electronic key towards the vehicle

and press and release the "FIAT"

button.

If the

icon is displayed while driving,

this means that the system is running

a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage

drop). If the display persists, contact

a Fiat Dealership.

For versions with electronic key, the

alarm can also be engaged by pressing

the "door lock" button, located on the

function is already active is pressed, its operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic

control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

Start&Stop

The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when vehicle speed is 0 km/h) to

ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the

automatic recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows

misting up (as the compressor is off).

WARNING
