THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection against at-
tempted theft of the vehicle. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key
is extracted.
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
If, during ignition, the code is not correctly
recognized, a warning light Yis lit on the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR. Try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists. If
the engine will not start up after this op-
eration, run the emergency start proce-
dure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and
then contact the Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the code.THE WARNING LIGHT
Y(or symbol on the display)
GOES ON DURING TRAVEL
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on the
display) turns on, the system is running
a self-test (for example for a voltage
drop). The first time you stop the vehi-
cle, turn the ignition key to STOPand
then to MAR. If no failure is detected,
the warning light
Ydoes not light up.
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on
the display) remains steadily lit, repeat
the procedure above leaving the key in
the STOPposition for over 30 sec-
onds. If the problem persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership.
❒If the warning light
Y(or symbol on
the display) stays on, the code is not ac-
knowledged. In this case, return the key
to STOPand then to MAR; try with
the other keys provided if the problem
persists. If the engine will not start up
after this operation, run the emergency
start procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”) and then contact the Fiat
Dealership.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or on some of the components of
your vehicle. These labels bear symbols
that draw your attention to the precau-
tions required when handling the compo-
nent in question.
The inner surface of the engine bonnet
includes a label with the different symbols
used.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to
violent shocks.

ALARM
(where provided)
In addition to all the remote control func-
tions described above, an alarm has been
installed, which is controlled by a receiv-
er unit located under the dashboard near
the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒unauthorised opening of a door, the
bonnet, tailgate or, if present, one of the
sliding side doors (perimeter protec-
tion);
❒unauthorised activation of ignition
(turning the key to MARposition us-
ing a key that is not enabled);
❒when the battery cables are cut;
❒when someone is moving inside the
passenger compartment (volumetric
protection);
❒when the vehicle is unusually lifted/tilt-
ed.
Depending on the markets where the ve-
hicle is sold, alarm tripping causes either
a siren or direction indicators to go on
(for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm tripping
and the number of cycles depend on the
sales market.Provision has been made for a maximum
number of acoustic/visual cycles, after
which the system resumes its standard
control function.
Volumetric and anti-lift protections are
disabled by pressing the control button in-
stalled on the front dashboard (see para-
graph “Anti-lift protections).
IMPORTANT The engine stop function is
guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is au-
tomatically activated when the ignition key
is extracted from the starter device.
ENABLING THE ALARM
Keep the doors and bonnets closed and
either turn the ignition key to STOPor
remove it. Direct the key with the remote
control towards the vehicle and press but-
ton
Á, then release it.
Excluding some versions for specific mar-
kets, the system produces a sound warn-
ing (beep) and enables door locking.
Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test is
run. if a problem is detected, the system
will produce a new signal about 4 secs.
after the command to turn it on. If this is the case, disable the alarm by
pressing button Ë, check correct locking
of the doors, bonnet and boot, and enable
the alarm again by pressing button
Á.
If a door or the bonnet is not correctly
closed, it will be excluded from the test-
ing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors, bonnet and boot
are correctly closed, a failure has occurred
in system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
IMPORTANT If the central door locking
system is engaged using the metal insert
of the key, the alarm is not enabled.
IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is con-
figured in compliance with the regulations
existing in the different countries.

Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed. Under no circum-
stances should after-market opera-
tions be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could negatively affect
performance and safety, cause the
lapse of the warranty and also result
in vehicle non-compliance with type-
approval requirements.
WARNINGIGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 10:
❒STOP: the engine is off, the key can be
extracted, the steering is locked. Some
electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) are en-
abled.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical de-
vices work regularly.
❒AVV: engine start.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that forces the driver to return the
ignition key to STOPbefore repeating the
starting operation, if the engine does not
start up.STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key
and turn the steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.

The warning light A-fig. 13turns on to
indicate that approximately 6 to 7 litres of
fuel are left in the tank.
E- tank empty.
F- tank full (see the instructions provid-
ed in paragraph “Vehicle refuelling” in
this section).
Do not travel when the fuel tank is almost
empty, because this may jeopardize the
catalyst.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and warning light Awill blink to indicate a
fault in the system. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the system checked.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and starts working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions
of the vehicle.
C- Low engine coolant temperature.
H- High engine coolant temperature.Turning on of the warning light B-fig. 13
(along with a message on the display) in-
dicates that the coolant fluid temperature
is too high. In this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
fig. 13F0T0152m
If the needle indicating the
engine coolant temperature
reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.

To ventilate the passenger compartment
properly proceed as follows:
❒fully open the central air vents and side
outlets;
❒turn knob Ato the blue section;
❒turn cursor Bon

❒turn knob Cto the required speed;
❒turn knob Don
¥.ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL
AIR RECIRCULATION
Turn cursor Bto position
v.
It is advisable to activate air recirculation
during vehicle stops in queues or tunnels
to prevent the introduction of polluted air
from the outside.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are many passengers
on board, to prevent the windows from
misting up.
IMPORTANT The internal air recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach the
required “heating” or “cooling” condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recircula-
tion function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside. DEMISTING/DEFROSTING OF REAR
HEATED WINDOW AND DOOR
MIRRORS (where provided)
Press button (to engage this function.
When the function is active, a led on the
button goes on.
To disable this function, press the button
(again.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over the
heating filaments to avoid damage that
might cause it to stop working properly.
