IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
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.

STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as
you turn the ignition key to MAR.
WARNING
4) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
5) Always remove the key when you
leave your vehicle to prevent
someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is
parked uphill or reverse gear if the
vehicle is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
vehicle.6) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will automatically lock
as soon as it is turned. This also
applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed.
7) 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, cause
the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the
vehicle with type approval
requirements.

SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols
indicate precautions to be observed
when using this component. Under
the bonnet there is also a label
that summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the
vehicle. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition
device. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started,
is the “password”, by means
of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started
turning the ignition key toMAR, the
Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the inhibitor.
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
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat 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 a
Fiat Dealership to have new keys
(up to 8) stored with a code.
Activation of
warning light while
driving
❒If the warning lightswitches
on, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (for
example due to a voltage drop).
❒If the warning lightstays on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside
the key may be damaged if the
key is subjected to strong shocks.
In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic
devices inside the key, it should
never be exposed to direct
sunlight.
