downhill. Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle.
4)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 adversely affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the vehicle with
type-approval requirements.5)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

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
LOCKING/UNLOCKING
DOORS FROM THE

the doors. Operating lever A on the
other doors locks/unlocks only the door
concerned. With mechanical lock,

13)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden
to alter the configuration of the system or
its components. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and lead to a reduction in
safety; therefore, in the case of problems,
contact a Fiat Dealership. To prevent
damage to the gas system parts when
towing or raising the vehicle, follow the
instructions in the "Towing the vehicle"
paragraph of the Owner Handbook.
14)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the car and
later refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although
the LPG system has numerous safety
features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the vehicle is not in
use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the fastening devices A
fig. 37, then remove the cover B. Close
the LPG cock rotating the ring nut C
clockwise fig. 39. Refit the cover and
retighten the fastening devices.
15)Periodically (at least once every six
months), it is advisable to let the LPG in the
tank run out and, at the next refuelling,
check that it does not exceed the
maximum capacity of 30.5 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess) (see instructions in the "Capacities"
paragraph of this Supplement). If the level
is above 30.5 litres (reserve included)
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
16)Regardless of the last fuel system
used, at the following engine starting, after
the initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.17)When switching from petrol to LPG is
requested, a metal noise from the valves
which pressurise the circuit can be heard.
As a result of the switching logic described
above, a delay between the valve ticking
and the the green warning light
on
the instrument panel turning off is
completely normal.
18)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without
indicating the performed switching. In the
event of low LPG levels in the tank or
request for high performance (e.g.
overtaking, fully laden vehicle, steep hills)
the system may automatically switch to
petrol operation to guarantee the engine
power requested. The green warning light
on the instrument panel turns on to
indicate this. When the above conditions
are no longer present, the system
automatically restores LPG operation; the
green warning light
switches off. To
achieve the automatic switching described
above, make sure that there is always
enough fuel in the petrol tank.
19)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
20)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG.
