SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of
the components of your Fiat Multipla. These labels bear symbols that
remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular
component.
The plate summarising the symbols used (A) can be found under the
bonnet.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from attempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser (Fiat CODE) which is automatically
activated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device
transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a
special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulated signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is the password by means of
which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is removed from STOP, or PARK, the
protection system will immobilise the engine.
When the key is turned to MAR at engine startup:
❒If the code is acknowledged warning light (A)
¢on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; the code system has acknowledged the key code
and deactivates the engine immobiliser. When the key is turned to
AVV, the engine starts up.
