THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from
theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobiliser system (Fiat CODE)
which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted
in each ignition key grip. The device
modulates a signal when the engine is
started through a special aerial built
into the ignition switch. The modulate
signal, 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.
9GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
DUPLICATE KEYS
When additional keys are required,
go to your Fiat Dealership, taking all
the keys in your possession and the
CODE card with you. The Fiat Deal-
ershipwill store the old and new keys
(up to eight) in the system. The Fiat
Dealershipmay ask you to demon-
strate that you own the vehicle.
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 vehicle.DOOR LOCK
REMOTE CONTROL
The radio-frequency remote control
is built into the ignition key.
The key fig. 6includes the following:
– a metal insert Athat can be en-
closed in the key grip
– a button Efor power-assisted
opening of the metal insert
– a button Cfor remote door un-
locking and electronic alarm deactiva-
tion (where provided) at the same
time, and timed switching on of the in-
ternal ceiling lights;
– a button Dfor remote door lock-
ing and electronic alarm activation
(where provided) at the same time,
and switching off of the internal ceiling
lights;
– led Bindicating control sending to
electronic alarm system receiver. If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, perform the emergency start-up
procedure (see “In an emergency”)
and call your Fiat Dealership.
When the vehicle is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1)If the Ywarning light comes on
while the vehicle is moving, this means
that the system is running a self-test
(e.g. due to a voltage drop).
2)If the Ywarning light flashes, the
vehicle is not protected by the engine
immobiliser. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
shipimmediately and get them to
store the codes of all the keys in the
memory.
IMPORTANTThe electronic com-
ponents inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to sharp
knocks.
IMPORTANTEach key provided
with the vehicle has its own code, dif-
ferent from all the others, which must
be stored in the memory of the sys-
tem control unit.
14GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Do not leave the key inserted in the
switch. Cover the keyhole with the
rubber cap to prevent dust and wa-
ter getting in.
Emergency keys should be left in the
car coupled with the switch.
HOW TO KNOW IF THE
ALARM HAS GONE OFF
After deactivating the system, led A-
fig. 9will indicate the theft attempt
specifying also the cause of the alarm:
fixed light:remote control bat-
tery down
1 blink:right-hand door
2 blinks:left-hand door
5 blinks:volumetric sensors
(indicate a movement
inside the passenger’s
compartment)
6 blinks:bonnet To cut off the alarm before this,
press the remote control button; if
this is unsuccessful, turn the emer-
gency key to OFF(see next paragraph
“How to turn the alarm off”)
HOW TO TURN
THE ALARM OFF
If the remote control batteries run
down, or the car alarm system is
faulty, the electronic alarm can be cut
out by using one of the two emer-
gency keys supplied set on the system
deactivation control unit (that is
housed in the fuse box on the right
side of the dashboard).
To do this, open the fuse box, take
off the switch rubber cap, insert the
key and turn it counterclockwise
(OFFposition); the system is now de-
activated.
To turn the system back on, turn the
key clockwise (ONposition).7 blinks:load
compartment
8 blinks:tampering with
ignition switch
9 blinks:alarm wires cut
10 blinks:at least three causes
of alarm.
The led goes off when turning the
key to MAR or after about 2 minutes
blinking.
Since the electronic car
alarm absorbs electricity,
if you will not be using
your car for more than a month,
switch the system off with the re-
mote control and turn the emer-
gency key to OFF.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
IMPORTANTCentral door locking
is active on all doors if front doors (cab
doors) are used for opening/closing.
When operating one of the rear or
side door lock, only that door will be
locked/unlocked.
From the outside
When the doors are closed, insert
and turn the key in the lock of one of
the driver’s cab doors.
From the inside
When the doors are closed, press
(to lock) or lift (to unlock) one of the
driver’s cab door safety sill buttons.
IMPORTANT If one of the cab
doors is not shut properly or there is
a failure in the system, the central
locking feature will not work and, af-
ter some attempts, the device will stop
working for about 2 minutes. In these
two minutes, the doors can be locked
or unlocked manually without the
electrical system coming into play.After the two minutes, the control
unit is ready to receive commands
once more. If the reason for the mal-
functioning has been removed, the de-
vice will start to work properly again.
If not, it will cut once more.
