Advice

– when the vehicle is moving (at speeds above

6 mph (10 km/h)), this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal and a warning

message for a few seconds.

If one of the doors or the boot is still open

or if the electronic key for the Keyless

the vehicle, central locking will not take place.

However, if the vehicle is ﬁtted with an alarm,

it will be activated after 45 seconds.

► Press this button to unfold or fold the key.

The remote control may be damaged if

you do not press the button.

Remote control key

This allows the central locking or unlocking of the

vehicle using the door lock or from a distance.

It also allows the vehicle to be located, the fuel

ﬁller cap and charging ﬂap to be opened and

closed and the engine to be started or switched

oﬀ, as well as providing protection against theft.

If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or

boot are not subsequently opened, the

vehicle will automatically lock itself again after

about 30 seconds. If the vehicle is ﬁtted with

an alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.

Keyless Entry and Start

This allows the central locking or unlocking of the

vehicle from a distance.

It is also used to locate and start the vehicle, as

well as providing protection against theft.

The remote control buttons are not active

with the ignition switched on.

Automatic door mirror folding and

unfolding can be deactivated by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Integral key

This is used to lock and unlock the vehicle when

the remote control cannot operate:

– cell battery ﬂat, vehicle battery discharged or

disconnected, etc.

– vehicle located in an area with strong

electromagnetic signals.

As a safety measure, never leave the

vehicle, even for a short time, without

taking the Keyless Entry and Start system’s

electronic key with you.

Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle if

the key is present in one of the deﬁned areas

while the vehicle is unlocked.

It allows the unlocking, locking and starting of the

vehicle while carrying the remote control on your

person in recognition zone "A".

Advice

Remote control

The remote control is a sensitive, high-

frequency device; avoid handling it in your

pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally

unlocking the vehicle.

Avoid pressing the remote control buttons

while out of range of the vehicle, due to

the risk of rendering the remote control

inoperative. It would then be necessary to

reset it.

In the ignition on (accessories) position,

with the "START/STOP" button, the

hands-free function is deactivated and it is

impossible to open the doors.

For more information on Starting/switching

oﬀ the engine, Keyless Entry and Start and

in particular the "ignition on" position, refer to

the corresponding section.

► Keep this button 1 pulled while removing

key 2 from the housing.

If the alarm is activated, the audible

signal triggered on opening a door with

the key (integral with the remote control) will

stop when the ignition is switched on.

The remote control does not work when the

key is in the ignition switch, even when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

Locating the vehicle

Once the built-in key is ejected, always

keep it with you to be able to carry out

the corresponding back-up procedures.

This function helps you to spot your vehicle from

a distance, with the vehicle locked:

– The direction indicators ﬂash for approximately

10 seconds.

Anti-theft protection

Do not modify the electronic vehicle

immobiliser, as this might result in

malfunctions.

For vehicles with a key ignition switch,

remember to remove the key and turn the

steering wheel to engage the steering lock.

A short press on this button switches on

the lighting remotely (lighting of

sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and number

plate lamps).

A second press on the button before the end of

the timed period cancels the remote lighting.

Driving with the doors locked could make

it more diﬃcult for the emergency services

to enter the passenger compartment in an

emergency.

As a safety precaution, remove the key from

the ignition or take the electronic key with you

when leaving the vehicle, even for a short

time.

28

Access

Purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a Fiat

Dealership, to ensure that the keys in your

possession are the only ones able to start the

vehicle.

A sudden splash of water (stream of water,

high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be

identiﬁed by the system as the desire to open

the vehicle.

The separated unlocking system

between cab and loading area is a

security measure. This prevents access to the

part of the vehicle where the driver is not

present.

Before opening or closing and while

moving doors, ensure that no person,

animal or object is in the door frame or any

other position that would block the desired

movement, inside or outside the vehicle.

If this advice is not followed, injuries or

damage may occur if any part of a person or

an object is trapped or caught.

Electrical door opening is disabled at speeds

above 2 mph (3 km/h):

– However, if the vehicle started moving

while the doors were open, the speed must

be reduced below 19 mph (30 km/h) before

they can be closed.

– Any attempt to open a door electrically

using the interior handle while driving results

in it only being possible to open the door

manually.

– This situation is accompanied by the

audible warning, the lighting of the "door

open" warning lamp and the message on the

screen. To release the door and be able to

operate it again, it is necessary to stop the

vehicle.

The electric controls are disabled in the

event of an impact. Manual opening and

closing remain possible.

While starting the engine, door

movements are paused, resuming when

the engine is running.

When open, a door projects beyond the body.

Allow adequate clearance when parking

alongside walls, lamp-posts, high pavements,

etc.

Depending on the engine ﬁtted, if

the door is closed and an opening

request is issued in Stop mode of Stop &

procedure, contact a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

If your vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the

vehicle facing down the slope, the door may not

stay open and may close violently with the risk

of injury.

Safety/Obstacle detection

with electric door(s)

In the case of a steep slope, the door

may be driven by its own weight and as a

consequence may open or close violently.

There would not be time for action at the

electric controls to take eﬀect.

On a steep slope

There would not be time for the obstacle

detection system to react.

Take care not to leave the vehicle on a

steep slope with the door(s) open without

supervision. If this advice is not followed,

injuries or damage may occur if a person or

an object is trapped or caught.

The obstacle detection system is triggered when

the moving door encounters an obstacle with a

certain level of physical resistance. If an obstacle

is detected:

– while the door is closing, the door stops then

opens fully.

– while the door is opening, the door stops then

closes.

– twice in succession during a movement of the

door, the door will no longer close electrically

(uninitialisation).

It is possible to open and close the doors

electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.

If the vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the

vehicle facing up the slope, open the door with

care. The door may open more quickly due to

the incline.

On a steep slope, guide the side door manually

to help it to close.

On a steep slope: a safety system slows down

the movement of the door.

In all cases, wait a few seconds before operating

the door (closing or opening).
