THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it
has 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 in
each ignition key grip. The device trans-
mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate sig-
nal, which changes each time the engine is
started, is the “password”, by means of
which the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Grande Punto Abarth.
These labels bear symbols that remind you
of the precautions to be taken as regards
that particular component.
fig. 3F0M070Ab
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 3.OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine electronic con-
trol unit.
If, at start, the code is not correctly rec-
ognized, the
Ysign will be displayed (see
section “Warning Lights and Messages”).If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Yturns on (see
section “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the key should be moved to
the STOPposition and then back to
MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car,
contact Abarth Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up
to a maximum of eight, apply to Abarth
Dealership.
Warning light
Ycoming on when driving
❒If the Ysign is displayed, it means that
the system is automatically carrying out
the diagnosis cycle owing, for example,
to voltage drop).
❒If the Ysign continues to be dis-
played, call the Abarth Service Network
and ask for assistance.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.
