THE KEYSCODE CARD fig. 4
The car is delivered with two copies of the ignition key
and with the CODE card which bears the following:
A the electronic code to be used for emergency starting
(see “Emergency starting” in chapter “Correct use of
the car”).
B the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Deal-
ership when ordering duplicate keys.
Make sure you have the electronic code A with you at all
times in the event you have to perform an emergency
starting.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of
the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never
be exposed to direct sunlight. IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system electronic control unit. Contact the
Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with
the code.
Warning light
Y
coming on when driving
❒
If the warning light
Y
turns on, this means that the
system is running a self-diagnosis (for example for a volt-
age drop). At the first stop, turn the ignition key to
STOP and then back to MAR: if no failure is detected,
the warning light
Y
will not come on.
❒
If the warning light
Y
stays on, repeat the above pro-
cedure leaving the key at STOP for over 30 seconds.
Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒
If the warning light
Y
stays on, the code has not been
recognised. In this case, turn the key to STOP again and
then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try
with the other keys provided with the car. If you still
cannot start the engine, perform the emergency start
procedure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and then
contact the Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is submitted to
strong shocks.

REV. COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator B shows the engine revolution number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system grad-
ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the ac-
tivation of the climate control system or the fan. It should
not be considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change
in engine speed preserves the battery charge.
INSTRUMENTSThe instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR) fig. 17
The indicator A shows the car speed (speedometer).

It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on while
standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduc-
tion of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there are many peo-
ple on board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting inside.
