THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system which increases
protection against an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built into
the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable ignition.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog-
nition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The 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 engine con-
trol unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the
Ywarning light comes on in the instrument panel.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or actu-
ally on some of the components of your Fiat Punto. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular component.
A plate summarising the symbols used can be found under
the bonnet fig. 2.
