THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
To further protect your vehicle from
attempted theft, it has been fitted with
an electronic engine immobiliser sys-
tem (called Fiat CODE) which is au-
tomatically activated when the ignition
key is removed. Each ignition key, in
fact, contains an electronic device,
which modulates a radio-frequency
signal emitted by a special aerial, built
into the ignition switch, during ignition.
The modulated signal is a “password”
with which the control unit recognis-
es the key. Engine ignition is enabled
only if the key is recognised by the sys-
tem.THE KEYS fig. 2

the car:

REPLACING THE KEY
BATTERIES fig. 6-7
If the doors do not lock and the di-
rection indicators do not come on
when the button on the remote con-
trol is pressed, replace the batteries
with others of the same time:
– open the metal insert;
– open the plastic casing Aby forc-
ing recess B;
– remove the printed circuit Cwith
the battery;
– extract the battery Dand replace
it respecting the polarity;
– refit the printed circuit Cwith the
battery facing inwards;
– close the plastic casing A.Since the electronic alarm absorbs
electricity, if you will not be using the
vehicle for more than a month, you
are advised to switch the system off
with the remote control. This will pre-
vent the battery from going flat. All the keys and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new
owner when selling the car.

This code is masked by a special
paint, which should be removed when
the CODE card is used. The CODE
card should therefore be kept in a safe
place and not in the vehicle.Used batteries pollute
the environment. Dispose
of them in the special
containers as specified by current
legislation or take them to your
nearest Fiat Dealership, which
will deal with their disposal. Do
not expose them to naked flames
and high temperatures. Keep out
of children’s reach.

ure in the system, the central locking

tion indicators will not flash; after
some attempts, the device stops
working for around 20 seconds. In
these 20 seconds, the door can be
locked or unlocked manually without
the electrical system coming into play.
After the 20-second period, the con-
trol unit is ready to receive commands
once more.
