THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
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 acknowledged
the code received from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light
switches on in the instrument panel. In
this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR; if it is still locked, try again
with the other keys that come with the
vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if
you still cannot start the engine.If the
warning light switches on, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). Should the fault persist,
contact a Fiat Dealership.DOORS

wear deriving from normal use of the
vehicle. Nevertheless, some precautions
are required. Avoid prolonged and/or
excessive rubbing involving clothing
accessories such as metal buckles,
bosses, Velcro strips and the like, which,
by applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a limited area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.

impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant’s
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.
