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.

F0E0379m

The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.

❒If warning light ¢remains lit (together with
warning light
Uon petrol engine versions only) the
code is not acknowledged. Bring the key back to
STOP then onto MAR again. If it still remains
immobilised, try with another key.
If it is still not possible to start the engine, you will
have to use the emergency procedure (see section “In
an emergency”) and contact Fiat Dealership.
Starting up with ignition key at MAR:
❒If warning light
¢comes on, it means that the
system is making a self-test (e.g. for a voltage drop).
The first time you stop you can test the system:
switch off the engine turning the key to STOP; then
turn to MAR again: warning light
¢comes on and
should go out after about one second. If it remains
alight, repeat the operations described above,
leaving the key at STOP for more than 30 seconds. If the problem persists, go to a Fiat Dealership.
❒If warning light
¢flashes it means that the car is
not protected by the immobiliser. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately and get them to store the
codes of all the keys in the memory.
IMPORTANT The electronic components inside the
key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.
IMPORTANT Each key handed over with the car has
its own code, different from all the others, which must
be stored in the memory of the system’s control unit.
To have new keys memorised (maximum seven) go to
a Fiat Dealership taking with you all the keys in your
possession, the CODE card, personal identification
and car documents.

THE KEYS
CODE CARD (optional for versions/markets where applicable)
The car is delivered with:
❒key (B) and key (A) when the car is fitted with door remote control.
❒two copies of key (B) when the car is fitted with electronic alarm.
Keys are delivered with a CODE card that bears the following:
A - the electronic code to be used for emergency starting (see
“Emergency starting” in section “In an emergency”);
B - the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Dealership when
ordering duplicate keys;
C - spaces for any remote control stickers when the car is fitted with the
remote control option.
Make sure you have the electronic code of the CODE card with you at
all times in the event you have to perform an emergency start-up.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure perfect efficiency of the electronic
devices contained inside the keys, they should never be exposed to direct
sunlight.

KEY WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROL
Key (A) (delivered in one copy only) is the one to be used normally for:
❒starting up
❒locking/unlocking the doors
❒locking/unlocking the fuel cap
❒deactivating the passenger’s airbag.
Key (B), with built-in remote control, performs the same functions as key
(A) for cars fitted with door remote control and/or electronic alarm.
KEY WITH REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control built into the ignition key has a button (C) and a led
(D) (where required); the button activates the remote control and the
led flashes to show that the transmitter is sending the code to the
receiver. The remote control operates at radio-frequency.
Ministerial homologation
In accordance with the regulations in force in each country as concerns
radio-frequency, the following shall be pointed out: the specific
homologation numbers for each country are indicated in the last pages of
this handbook and for markets requiring transmitter code marking, the
homologation number is printed directly on the key grip.

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.

ELECTRONIC ALARM
The electronic alarm has the following functions:
❒central door locking/unlocking remote control;
❒perimetral surveillance, which picks up opened doors, bonnet and
tailgate;
❒volumetric surveillance, which picks up the movement of any intruders
inside the passenger compartment.
OPERATION
The electronic alarm of Fiat Multipla is controlled by the receiver located
in the dashboard under the front right panelling. It is activated by the
radio-frequency remote control built into the ignition key.
It will only work when the ignition key is removed from position STOP
or PARK.
The electronic alarm control unit also includes the self-powered alarm
siren; the siren may be deactivated.
To switch the electronic alarm on: press briefly the remote control
button (C). You should hear a “beep” and the direction indicators switch
on for about 3 seconds (in countries where legislation permits it). The
warning led (F) inside the car will flash as long as the car alarm is on.
To switch the electronic alarm off: press the remote control button
again. You will hear two “beeps” and the direction indicators will flash
twice (in countries where legislation permits it).
