6)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with type-
approval requirements.FIAT CODE SYSTEM
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by
turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
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
Powertrain Control Module.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon
appears on the display.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come
with the car. Contact an Abarth
Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the
system's control unit. Contact an
Abarth Dealership to have new keys (up
to 8) stored with a code.
If the
symbol appears, along with a
dedicated message, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(for example for a voltage drop). If
the
symbols remains on, contact an
Abarth Dealership.
