SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of
the components of your Fiat Multipla. These labels bear symbols that
remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular
component.
The plate summarising the symbols used (A) can be found under the
bonnet.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from attempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser (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
transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a
special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulated 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.
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is removed from STOP, or PARK, the
protection system will immobilise the engine.
When the key is turned to MAR at engine startup:
❒If the code is acknowledged warning light (A)
¢on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; the code system has acknowledged the key code
and deactivates the engine immobiliser. When the key is turned to
AVV, the engine starts up.

Used batteries are harmful to the environment. They should be disposed of as specified by law in the
special containers provided, or take them to a Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.

DUPLICATE KEYS
If you need extra keys, go to a Fiat Dealership and
take all the keys and the CODE card with you. Fiat
Dealership will store all the old and new keys (up to 7
keys) in the memory. Fiat Dealership may ask you to
prove that you are the owner of the car.
The codes of any keys that are not handed over when
the new storage procedure is carried out will be
deleted from the memory to prevent any lost or
stolen keys being used to start the car.REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL REMOTE
CONTROLS
The system can recognise up to 8 keys with
incorporated remote control.
Should a new key with remote control be necessary,
contact directly a Fiat Dealership, taking with you the
CODE card, a personal identity document and the
car’s ownership documents.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
If, when the remote control button is pressed, the led
flashes only once or the instrument panel led (F)
remains lit for about 2 minutes, change the batteries
with others of the same kind: open the plastic case by
inserting a screwdriver in slot (E). Insert the new
batteries respecting the polarity and close the plastic
case.

To deactivate the volumetric surveillance: the
volumetric protection function can be deactivated
before activating the electronic alarm in this way: turn
the ignition key from STOP and bring it in rapid
succession onto MAR then back to STOP, after which,
remove the key.
The led (F) on the instrument panel will light up for
about 2 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been
cut off.
To reactivate the volumetric protection (before
enabling the electronic alarm) turn the key to MAR for
more than 30 seconds.
If, however, the volumetric protection has been
deactivated and you wish to operate one of the
electronic controls managed by the ignition key in
MAR (e.g. electric windows) turn the key to MAR, use
the required electric control then bring the key back
to STOP within 30 seconds. In this way the volumetric
protection will not be reactivated.
To cut out the siren: press the remote control button
for about 4 seconds when enabling the electronic
alarm.
Five beeps will be heard which indicate that the siren
has been disabled and the alarm has been enabled.SELF-TEST
If when switching the car alarm on, you hear a “beep”
followed after about one second by a shorter “beep”,
check that the doors, bonnet and boot are all closed
properly, then try switching the alarm on again. If the
problem repeats, contact Fiat Dealership.
PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM
When your new car is handed over to you, the
electronic alarm has already been programmed by the
Fiat Dealership. Any subsequent programming should
also be carried out by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The electronic alarm operation is
prepared according to the laws of the specific country.
This operation is only to be carried out by a Fiat
Dealership, to avoid damaging the electronic memory
storage system.
