vere damage to the en-
gine fuel feed system. Conse-
quently, you should go to a Fiat

FIAT CODE
(amber)
The warning light comes on in three
cases (when the ignition key is at
MAR):
1.One flash - the key code has been
recognised. The engine can be start-
ed.
2.Fixed light - the key code has not
been recognised. Follow the emer-
gency procedure to start the engine
(see “In an emergency”).
3. Flashing - the vehicle is not pro-
tected by the device. The engine can
however be started.
Y
Vehicles with ABS are fitted
with electronic brakeforce
distributor (EBD). The >and x
warning lights come on at the same
time when the engine is running to
indicate that there is an EBD sys-
tem failure. In this case violent
braking may be accompanied by
early rear wheel locking with the
possibility of skidding. Drive ex-
tremely carefully to the nearest Fi-
at Dealership to have the system
checked.
