K
REFUELLING
Only refuel with diesel fuel for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590.
Using other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cov-
er for caused damages as a consequence.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal, without press-
ing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to Mand wait for the warning lights
Yand mto go off; turn the igni-
tion key to Dand release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the vehicle over grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-
sure better respect for the environment.

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat SCUDO. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the pre-
cautions to be taken as regards that par-
ticular component.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from theft,
it has been fitted with an engine immobil-
ising system. This system is automatically
activated when the ignition key is re-
moved.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in
each ignition key grip. The device trans-
mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate sig-
nal, 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.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to M, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the
inhibitor.
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 S,
the Fiat CODE system deactivates the
functions of the engine electronic control
unit.
In this case, the key should be moved to
Sand then back to M; if the lock contin-
ues, possibly try again with the other key
provided with the vehicle. If it is still not
possible to start the vehicle, contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up
to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Deal-
ership.

Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.

INDICATOR
It regulates the intervals between the main-

Functioning
As soon as the starting key is inserted and
for a few seconds, the maintenance key lights
up and which indicates the maintenance op-
erations; the total odometer display indicates
the number of kilometres {rounded down}
which can be covered until the next main-
tenance operation. The maintenance expiry
dates are calculated starting from the last re-
setting of the indicator.
This expiry date is determined by means
of two parameters:
❒the distance in kilometres covered
❒time which has passed since the last
maintenance operation.
The distance in kilometres
which remains to be covered
can be considered by the time
factor, based on the driver’s
driving habits.

Example: one can still travel 4,800 km be-
fore the next maintenance operation. Af-

A few seconds after having turned the
starting key to the Mposition, the oil lev-
el is shown, therefore the total odometer
works again and it indicates the total and
daily amount of kilometres travelled.
Maintenance expiry date less than
1,000 km
After having turned the starting key to the
Mposition and for a few seconds, the
maintenance key flashes and the remain-
ing number of kilometres is shown.ENGINE OIL LEVEL
INDICATOR
Turning the starting key to the
Mposition, the instrument, after having
shown the kilometres to be covered be-
fore the next maintenance operation, sup-
plies the synchronised indication of the oil
level present in the engine oil pan. The
flashing of the word “OIL”, accompanied
by a beeping and by a message, indicates
an insufficient quantity of oil in the engine.
The flashing of the word “OIL –“ indicates
a problem with the engine oil sensor.
Maintenance Expiry date exceeded
After having turned the
starting key to the Mposi-
tion and for a few seconds,
the maintenance key flashes
and the number of kilome-
tres
travelled after the expiry date of the main-
tenance operation is shown.
When the engine is running, the
maintenance key remains
switch until the maintenance
operation has been carried out.
Before the two expiry dates are reached:
the maintenance key lights up also when
the expiry date of two years has been ex-
ceeded.
