lock Abarth Punto Evo 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which
increases protection against attempted thefts of the car.
It is automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.
An electronic device is fitted in each ignition key grip.
The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the
engine is started through a special aerial built into the
ignition switch. The modulated signal, 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.
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 engine control unit to
deactivate the immobiliser.
The acknowledgement 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
management control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition,
the
Ywarning light comes on in the instrument panel.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or
actually on some of the components of your car. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found
under the bonnet, fig. 2.

(for versions/markets where provided)
The car is delivered with two copies of the ignition key

A the electronic code;
B The mechanical key code to be given to the Abarth
Dealership when ordering duplicate keys.
You should have the electronic code A-fig. 3 with you at
all times.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of
the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never
be exposed to direct sunlight. In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if
the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys.
Contact an Abarth Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.

❒If the warning light Ystays on, contact an Abarth
Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is submitted
to sharp knocks.

If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by an Abarth Dealership as soon
as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car, always
remove the key to prevent someone
from accidentally activating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake. If the car
is parked on a slope uphill, engage the first
gear; if the car is facing downhill, engage the
reverse gear. Never leave children unattended
in the car.
WARNING
IGNITION
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 9:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering
locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system,
central door locking system, etc.) may work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electric devices can
operate.
❒AVV: engine starting (temporary position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety
system that requires the ignition key to be turned back
to STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

Never remove the key while the car is

automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it.
This is always the case, even when the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-sales operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installing an anti-theft device) which could
adversely affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also result in the car
failing to comply with regulations.
