SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been at-
tached near or actually on some of the
components of your Fiat Doblò. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of
the precautions to be taken as regards
that particular component.
Plate A-fig. 1summarising the sym-
bols used can be found under the bon-
net.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from
theft, it has been fitted with an engine
immobilising system (Fiat CODE sys-
tem) which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted
in each ignition key grip. The device
transmits a radio-frequency 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 start-
ed, is the password by means of which
the control unit recognises the key
and enables to start the engine.KEYS fig. 2
The following keys are provided with
the vehicle:
– two keys Awhen the vehicle is not

– lock/unlock the rear doors or the
tailgate;
– lock/unlock the side doors, Cargo
versions only;
– deactivate the passenger’s airbag.
The key B, with a built-in remote
control, has the same functions as key
Ain vehicles with door lock remote
control.
The CODE card fig. 3is also sup-
plied with the keys and bears the fol-
lowing:
a- the electronic code to be used for
emergency starting (see “Emergency
start-up” in section “In an emer-
gency”);b- the mechanical key code to be
given to the Fiat Dealershipwhen
ordering duplicate keys.
Keep the CODE card in a safe place.
Make sure you have the electronic
code of the CODE card with you at all
times in the event you have to per-
form an emergency start-up.
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, or PARK, the protection
system will automatically immobilise
the engine.
When the key is turned to MARto
start the engine:
1)if the code is recognised the ¢
(Y) warning light on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; this means the
protection system has recognised the
key code and deactivates the immo-
biliser, turn the key to AVV, and the
engine will start.
2)If the warning light ¢(Y) stays
on, the code was not recognised. In
this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR. If the engine re-mains immobilised, try with the oth-
er key provided.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see “In an emergency”) and
take your vehicle to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
When the vehicle is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1)if the warning light ¢(Y) 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 warning light ¢(Y) flash-
es, the vehicle is not protected by the
engine immobiliser. Contact a Fiat
Dealershipimmediately and get them
to store the codes of all the keys in the
memory.
IMPORTANT The 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.

DUPLICATE KEYS
When additional keys are required,
go to your Fiat Dealershiptaking 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
handed over when the new storage
procedure is carried out will be delet-
ed from the memory to prevent any
lost or stolen keys being used to start
the vehicle.
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 remote control is built into the
ignition key. Press button A-fig. 4to
lock and unlock the doors.
Press button Ato operate the sys-
tem. LED B(where required) will flash
while the transmitter is sending the
code to the receiver.
The ceiling light and map-reading light
will come on for the predefined time
when the doors are unlocked with the

trols or replacing the batteries, see the
following paragraphs.
IMPORTANTThe remote control
system frequency can be disturbed by
significant radio transmissions outside
the vehicle (e.g: mobile phones, HAM
radio systems, etc.) that could cause
remote control malfunctioning.
Ministerial homologation
In accordance with the legislation
covering radio frequencies in force in
each country, we should like to point
out that:
– the market-specific homologation
numbers are listed in the paragraph
“Radio-frequency remote controls” in
section “Technical specifications”.
– for markets requiring transmitter
marking, the transmitter code is print-
ed on the remote control.

Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you try to turn it. This
also applies when the vehicle is
being towed.
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 vehicle
with homologation require-
ments.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 4 different
positions fig. 26:

moved, steering column locked. Some
electrical devices can be worked (e.g.

the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working the controls. Remem-
ber to apply the handbrake and,
if the vehicle is faced down on a
steep slope engage the first gear.
