LS SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attachednear or actually on some of the compo-nents of your car. These labels bear sym-bols that remind you of the precautionsto be taken as regards that particular com-ponent.
The plate summarising the symbols usedcan be found under the bonnet fig. 6.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, ithas been fitted with an engine immobilis-ing system. This system is automatically ac-tivated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted ineach ignition key grip. The device trans-mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-gine is started through a special aerial builtinto the ignition switch. The modulate sig-nal, which changes each time the engine isstarted, is the password by means ofwhich the control unit recognises the keyand enables to start the engine.

LSOPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ig-nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-tem control unit sends a recognition codeto the engine control unit to deactivatethe inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODEsystem control unit has recognised thecode transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned toSTOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivatesthe functions of the engine electronic con-trol unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-rectly, the instrument panel warning lightY (or symbol on display) will turn on.
In this case, the key should be moved tothe STOP position and then back toMAR; if the lock continues, possibly tryagain with the other key provided with thecar. If it is still not possible to start the carcontact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,which must be memorised by the systemcontrol unit. To memorise new keys, upto a maximum of eight, apply solely to Fi-at Dealership taking with you the CODEcard and the keys, a personal identity doc-ument and the cars ownership docu-ments. The codes of the keys not provid-ed during the new memorising procedureare erased from the memory. This is toensure that any lost or stolen keys can nolonger be used to start the car.
The electronic components in-side the key may be damagedif the key is submitted to sharpknocks.
Warning light Y (or symbol ondisplay) coming on when driving
If the warning light Y (or symbol ondisplay) turns on, this means that thesystem is running a self-test (for exam-ple for a voltage drop).
If the warning light Y (or symbol ondisplay) continues to stay on, contacta Fiat Dealership.

Instrument background color and typemay vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 17
It shows the car speed.
DASHBOARD LIGHTING ADJUSTMENT (Brightness sensor)(versions Sport with reconfigurablemultifunction display)
The versions Sport with reconfigurablemultifunction Display are provided witha brightness sensor (located inside thetachometer), able to detect the environ-ment light conditions and, depending onthe measurement, to adjust the operat-ing mode of the dashboard.
The instrument operates as follows:
in daylight mode, the display can beset on 8 different levels, the dashboardgraphics are turned off and all the in-dexes are fully lighted and cannot beadjusted;
in night mode, the display, the graph-ics and the indexes can be set on 8 dif-ferent levels. The brightness of the bi-zone automatic climate control systemdisplay and of the car radio display isaccordingly adjusted.
REV. COUNTER fig. 18
Rev counter shows engine rpm.On diesel versions the rev counter endscale value is 6000 rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injectioncontrol system gradually shuts off the flowof fuel when the engine is over-revvingresulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-er.
When the engine is idling, the rev countermay indicate a gradual or sudden speed in-crease. This is normal as it takes place dur-ing normal operation, for example whenactivating the climate control system orthe fan. In particular a slow change in thespeed preserves the battery charge.
fig. 18 F0Q0607mfig. 17 F0Q0606m
The brightness level depends on the set-tings previously set by means of the SetupMenu of the reconfigurable multifunctionaldisplay (see Dimmer at paragraph Re-configurable multifunctional display).
When travelling, the graphics lighting mayturn on if the lighting in the passengercompartment changes from daylight tonight condition (e.g. when entering atunnel).

TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The Trip computer displays information(with ignition key at MAR), relating to theoperating status of the car. This functioncomprises two separate and independenttrips: Trip A and Trip B concerningthe complete mission of the car (jour-ney).
Both functions are resettable (reset - startof new mission).
Trip A shall be used to display the fig-ures relating to:
Range
Trip distance
Average consumption
Instant consumption
Average speed
Travel time (driving time).
Trip B displays the figures relating to:
Trip distance B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Travel time B (driving time).
Note Trip B function can be excluded(see paragraph Trip B On/Off). Rangeand Instant consumption cannot be re-set.
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (ormi) that the car can still cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-tions are kept unvaried. The display willshow ---- in the following cases:
value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
car left parked with engine running forlong.
IMPORTANT The variation of the auton-omy value can be influenced by differentfactors: driving style (see what is describedin paragraph Driving style in the chap-ter Start-up and driving), type of route(highways, urban, mountain, etc), useconditions of the car (load transported,tire pressure, etc). What was describedpreviously must be taken in considerationwhen planning a trip.

Fabric upholstery of your caris purpose-made to withstandcommon wear resulting fromnormal use of the car. It is
however absolutely necessary to pre-vent hard and/or prolonged scratch-ing/scraping caused by clothing acces-sories like metallic buckles, studs, Vel-cro fixings, etc. that stressing locallythe fabric could break yarns and dam-age the upholstery as a consequence.
Only make adjustments whenthe car is stationary.
Once you have released thelever, check that the seat isfirmly locked in the runners bytrying to move it back and
forth. Failure to lock the seat in placecould result in the seat moving sud-denly and the driver losing control ofthe car.

to lower: press button A-fig. 30 andlower the head restraint.
On some versions, the front head re-straints are equipped with an anti-whiplashdevice, which is able to reduce the dis-tance between the head and head restraintin the case of rear impact, limiting damagecaused by whiplash.
If the front head restraint is anti-whiplashtype, the head restraint may move if pres-sure is exercised on the back-rest throughthe torso or hand. This behaviour is typ-ical of the system and should not treatedas a malfunction.
REAR
Car is can be equipped with two head restraints for side seats and, according toversions, also with a third head restraintfor the central seat.
