THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection against at-
tempted theft of the vehicle. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key
is extracted.
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.
If, during ignition, the code is not correctly
recognized, a warning light Yis lit on the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR. Try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists. If
the engine will not start up after this op-
eration, run the emergency start proce-
dure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and
then contact the Fiat Dealership.
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.THE WARNING LIGHT
Y(or symbol on the display)
GOES ON DURING TRAVEL
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on the
display) turns on, the system is running
a self-test (for example for a voltage
drop). The first time you stop the vehi-
cle, turn the ignition key to STOPand
then to MAR. If no failure is detected,
the warning light
Ydoes not light up.
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on
the display) remains steadily lit, repeat
the procedure above leaving the key in
the STOPposition for over 30 sec-
onds. If the problem persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership.
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on
the display) stays on, the code is not ac-
knowledged. In this case, return the key
to STOPand then to MAR; try with
the other keys provided if the problem
persists. If the engine will not start up
after this operation, run the emergency
start procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”) and then contact the Fiat
Dealership.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or on some of the components of
your vehicle. These labels bear symbols
that draw your attention to the precau-
tions required when handling the compo-
nent in question.
The inner surface of the engine bonnet
includes a label with the different symbols
used.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to
violent shocks.
