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.
