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.

SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 59controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation (where provid-
ed).
WINDSCREEN WASHER/
WIPER
This device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at M.
The stalk ring nut can be moved to four
different positions:
0windscreen wiper off;
Iflick wipe;
1continuous slow;
2continuous fast.
STemporary operation (one wipe):
when the stalk is released it returns
to position 0 automatically stopping
the wiper.
Pulling the stalk slightly towards the steer-
ing wheel (unstable position), regardless
of the position of the knurled ring, oper-
ates the windscreen washer and if the
dipped or high beams are on, also the
headlight washer (where provided).
Windscreen wiper will then perform three
wiping strokes.Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in motor
protection cutting in and wiper opera-
tion inhibition for few seconds as a con-
sequence. If operation is not restored
(also after restarting the vehicle by the
ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.
To facilitate windscreen washing or blade
replacement, with ignition key at Sor re-
moved, move the stalk down within 60
seconds (impulse); wipers will stop in ver-
tical position so they can be raised to re-
place blades or for cleaning.
IMPORTANT To prevent damaging the
body, before raising the wipers set them in
vertical position as described previously.
