THE FIAT
CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from at-
tempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem called Fiat CODE which is auto-
matically activated when the ignition
key is removed. The ignition keys, in
fact, are fitted with an electronic de-
vice that transmits a coded signal to
the Fiat CODE unit: only if this signal
is recognised can the engine be start-
ed. The coded signal is the password
with which the control unit recognis-
es the key and enables engine ignition. KEYS fig. 4
The car comes with three types of
the keys.
– key A, with a burgundy grip, is the
“master” key. Only one of these keys
is provided, and your Fiat Dealer-
ship needs it when it has to store the
codes of new keys replacing ones that
have been lost or damaged or when
storing duplicate key codes. Given its
importance, it should be kept in a safe
place (not in the car) and only be used
when absolutely necessary.
Any repair operations to the Fi-
at CODE system and to the en-
gine control unit cannot be car-
ried out if this key is lost.– key B(supplied with a duplicate)
with the blue grip, is the key which is
normally used for: starting the engine;
the doors; the glove compartment; the
tunnel-mounted console; the lock on
the boot opening lever.
– only one key C(with the blue grip)
is provided. This key is only used to
start the engine. It can be used by
garage and workshop staff for vehicle
handling.
A CODE card fig. 5bearing the fol-
lowing data is provided together with
the keys:
A- the electronic code to be used
for emergency starting (see “Emer-
gency Start-up” in “In an emergency”);
B- the mechanical key code to be
given to the Fiat Dealershipwhen
ordering duplicate keys;
C- the spaces for any remote con-
trol stickers when the car is fitted with
the “Electronic alarm” option.

DUPLICATING KEYS
If you ask for extra keys, remember
that all the keys, both the new ones
and those you already possess, must
be stored in the memory (up to a
maximum of 7). Go directly to your
nearest Fiat Dealership, taking with
you the key with the burgundy grip, all
the other keys in your possession and
the CODE card.
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
car.OPERATION
The electronic alarm fitted to the Fi-
at Barchetta is controlled by the re-
ceiver fig. 6(Abutton, Bled) locat-
ed in the front ceiling light and is acti-
vated by the radio-frequency remote
control.
The alarm can be turned on only
when the ignition key has been turned
toSTOPor PARKand removed.
The electronic alarm control unit
contains a self-supplied siren which can
be deactivated.
To switch the electronic alarm
on: press button A-fig. 7briefly on
the remote control. You will hear a
beep and the direction indicators will
light up for approximately 3 seconds
(in the countries where this is al-
lowed). When the system is on, led A-
fig. 8on the central tunnel will flash.ELECTRONIC
ALARM
(where fitted)
The electronic alarm has the follow-
ing functions:
– remote central door locking/un-
locking;
– peripheral surveillance, detecting
any attempt to open the doors, the
bonnet or the boot;
– passenger compartment surveil-
lance.
The burgundy key, plus
all the other keys and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new owner
when the vehicle is sold.

The car alarm absorbs
electricity. If you plan on
not using the car for
more than a month, you are ad-
vised to switch the system off
with the remote control and to
turn the emergency key to the
“OFF” position.

WHEN THE ALARM
GOES OFF
When the car alarm is activated, the
electronic alarm will be set off if:
1)One of the doors, the bonnet or
the boot are opened.
2)The battery is disconnected or the
electronic alarm power supply cables
are cut.
3) When something enters the pas-
senger compartment.
4)The outside of the car is knocked.
5)The key is turned to MAR.
A siren sounds for approximately 26
seconds (for a maximum of 3 cycles
and 5-second pauses if the condition
persists) when the electronic alarm is
triggered. The direction indicators
flash (in countries where this is al-
lowed) for approximately 5 minutes.
Once the conditions cease, the sys-
tem will continue its normal surveil-
lance function.To stop the electronic alarm, press
the remote control button. If this does
not work, turn the alarm off by turn-
ing the emergency key toOFF(see
next paragraph “How to turn the
alarm”).
HOW TO TURN
THE ALARM OFF fig. 10
Use the emergency key (two copies
are provided) to deactivate the elec-
tronic alarm when the remote control
batteries are flat or if there is a fault in
the system. Lift the bonnet and find
the control unit and siren (located in
front of the battery). Lift the rubber
protection cap A, insert the key and
turn anticlockwise (OFFposition).
The system is thus deactivated.“This key switch is not applicable for
the U.K. market”.
Do not leave the emergency key in
the switch. The keyhole must be cov-
ered with its rubber cap to prevent
dust and humidity from getting in.

WARNING

45
IMPORTANT If one of the doors
is not shut properly or there is a fail-
ure in the system, the central locking
feature will not work and, after some
attempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two
minutes the doors can be locked or
unlocked manually without the elec-
trical system coming into play. After
the two minutes the control unit is
ready to receive commands once
more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS fig. 53
Two push buttons are mounted on
the central console. They control the
following when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window opening
B- left window closing
C- right window closing
D- right window opening
If a button is pressed on the driver’s
side for around two seconds, the win-
dow works automatically: the window
stops when it is fully opened or closed
(or when the button is pushed again).

Improper use of the electric
windows can be dangerous.
Before and during their operation,
ensure that any passengers in the
vehicle are not at risk either by per-
sonal objects getting caught or by
being injured directly. Always re-
move the ignition key when you get
out of the car to prevent the elec-
tric windows being operated acci-
dentally and constituting a danger
to the people left in the car.
