THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from
attempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem (called Fiat CODE) which is au-
tomatically activated when the ignition
key is removed. Each ignition key, in
fact, contains an electronic device,
which modulates a radio-frequency
signal emitted by a special aerial, built
into the ignition switch, during ignition.
The modulated signal is a “password”
with which the control unit recognis-
es the key. Engine ignition is enabled
only if the key is recognised by the sys-
tem.THE KEYS fig. 2
The following keys are supplied with
the car:
– two keys Aif the car is fitted with
remote central door locking system

Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
This gauge indicates the litres of fu-
el present in the tank.
When warning light Kcomes on, it
indicates that between 5 and 8 litres
of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

lected function or for confirming set
values REV COUNTER
If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.D– button for canceling the function
/ going back to previous screen

information displayed on the right side

fixed light- warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which may
increase emissions in exhaust or cause
possible drops in performance, poor
handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warning
light on can cause damage. Contact a
Fiat Dealershipas soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault
disappears but it is however stored by

M or if it stays on when travelling,
this could indicate a failure in safe-
ty retaining systems; under this
condition air bags or pretension-
ers could not trigger in the event
of collision or, in a restricted num-
ber of cases, they could trigger ac-
cidentally. Stop the car and con-
