SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your car. These labels bear sym-
bols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular com-
ponent.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 5.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilis-
ing system. This system is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is removed.
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.

OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem 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
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine electronic con-
trol unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the instrument panel warning light
Ywill turn on.
In this case, the key should be moved to
the STOPposition and then back to
MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car
contact a 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 solely to Fi-
at Dealership taking with you the CODE
card and the keys, a personal identity doc-
ument and the car’s ownership docu-
ments. The codes of the keys not provid-
ed during the new memorising procedure
are erased from the memory. This is to
ensure that any lost or stolen keys can no
longer be used to start the car.
The electronic components in-
side the key may be damaged
if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.
Warning light Ycoming
on when driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
❒If the warning light Ycontinues to stay
on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
