THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising
system. This system is automatically acti-
vated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device transmits a ra-
dio-frequency signal when the engine is
started through a special aerial built into the
ignition switch. The modulate signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is
the password by means of which the con-
trol unit recognises the key and enables to
start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the in-
hibitor.
The code is sent only if the system con-
trol unit has recognised the code trans-
mitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the
STOPposition, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the instrument panel warning light
Yturns on.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat Panda. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.

failure is detected, warning light
Ywill not come on.
❒If the warning light Ystays on, repeat
the procedure described previously

not possible to start the car, follow the
instructions given in section “In an
emergency” and then contact a Fiat
Dealership.
