maintenance FIAT IDEA 2010 1.G Owners Manual

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery),
visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric sys-
tem can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the card in a safe place, non in the car. Have the electronic code printed on the CODE card with
you at all times. You will need it to start the engine in an emergency.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS...
... important information, advise and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car
in time. Pay special attention to the symbols
"(personal safety)#(environmental protection)â(car
integrity).

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your car. These labels bear sym-
bols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular com-
ponent.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 10.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection from at-
tempted theft of the car. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is ex-
tracted.
Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted dur-
ing ignition by an antenna incorporated in
the ignition device. This signal is the ‘pass-
word’ which changes at each ignition and
which the control unit uses to recognise
the key and enable ignition.

CODE CARD
(optional, for versions/market
where provided) fig. 11
The car is delivered the keys and a CODE
card which bears the following informa-
tion:
❒the electronic code A;
❒the mechanical key code Bto be giv-
en to the Fiat Dealership when or-
dering duplicate keys.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure com-
plete efficiency of the electronic devices
inside the keys, they should never be ex-
posed to direct sunlight. OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition 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 the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Yturns on on
the display.
In this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR; try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still can-
not start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the code.Warning light
Ycoming on when driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
If the fault persists, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.
All the keys and the CODE
card must be handed over to
the new owner when selling
the car.
