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
and electronic alarm.

remote central door locking system,
electronic alarm and powered side
sliding doors.The keys shall be used to:

ger door

DUPLICATE KEYS
Go directly to your Fiat Dealer-
ship, taking all the keys in your pos-
session and the CODE card with you.
The codes of any keys that are not
available when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be deleted
from the memory to prevent any lost
or stolen keys being used to start the
engine.
All the keys and the CODE card
must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the car.OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned
to Sthe Fiat CODE system deacti-
vates the engine control unit functions.
After the engine is started by turning
the key to M, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends the code for the
function lock deactivation to the en-
gine control unit. The crypted and
varying code is sent only if the system
control unit has recognised the code
sent by the electronic device con-
tained in each ignition key, through the
signal emitted by a special aerial built
into the ignition switch.
If the code is not recognised, you are
recommended to turn the key to S
and then again to M; if the lock cannot
be deactivated, repeat the operation
with the other key provided with the
vehicle.If you are still not able to start the
engine contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANTEach key supplied
with the vehicle has its own code
which is different from all the others
and which must be stored in the mem-
ory of the system control unit. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealershipfor the new
key storage procedure, taking with
you the CODE card, a personal iden-
tity document and the vehicle owner-
ship documents.
The codes of any keys
that are not available
when the new storage
procedure is carried out will be
deleted from the memory when
all the keys are stored again, in
order to prevent any mislaid keys
being used to start the vehicle.

positions:
S -engine off, key can be removed
and the steering column is locked;

D -starting the engine.When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working controls. Remember

If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to
steal your vehicle), get a Fiat
Dealership to check it over be-
fore you start driving again.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft Device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with
homologation requirements.
