2007 FIAT PANDA Stop

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising
system. This system is automatically acti-
vated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device transmits a ra-
dio-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 started, is
the password by means of which the con-
trol 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 system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the in-
hibitor.
The code is sent only if the system con-
trol unit has recognised the code trans-
mitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the
STOPposition, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the instrument panel warning light
Yturns on.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat Panda. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.

driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
At the first stop, turn the ignition key
to STOPand then back to MAR: if no
failure is detected, warning light
Ywill not come on.
❒If the warning light Ystays on, repeat
the procedure described previously
leaving the key at STOPfor over 30
seconds. Should the inconvenience per-
sists, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒If the warning light Ystays on this
means that the code has not been
recognised. In this case the key should
be moved to the STOPposition and
then back to MAR; if the lock contin-
ues, possibly try again with the other
keys provided with the car. If it is still
not possible to start the car, follow the
instructions given in section “In an
emergency” and then contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to

IGNITION SWITCH fig. 9
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Certain elec-
trical devices (e.g. sound system, cen-
tral door locking, etc.) can work
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical de-
vices are powered
❒AVV: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
mechanism that, in the event the engine is
not started, turns back the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating the starting oper-
ation. REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL

WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk fig. 52controls windscreen
wiper/washer and heated rear window
wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different
positions (4 speed levels):
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent.
Ccontinuous slow.
Dcontinous fast.
Efast temporary (unstable position).
Fast temporary operation is limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
Windscreen wiper slowing down
according to car speed
(where provided)
On certain versions, when decelerating
until stopping the car will make the wind-
screen wiper to slow down automatical-
ly. Speed will be resumed automatically
when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h. The
windscreen speed can be changed manu-
ally at any moment.“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement, it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second. The wiper stops work-
ing a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. “FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car.
Activation
With the ignition key atSTOPor re-
moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards the
steering wheel and operate it within 2
minutes from when the engine is turned
off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds,
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.
Each time the lever is operated, the warn-
ing light 3on the instrument cluster will
come on and the display will show the
time of activation.
The warning light comes on the first time
the lever is operated and will stay on up
to automatic function deactivation. Each
operation of the lever will extend lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.
