THE FIAT CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted
with an engine immobilising system. It 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 radio-frequency signal when the en-
gine is started through a special aerial built into the igni-
tion 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 car is started by turning the ignition key to
MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends an ac-
knowledgement code to the engine management control
unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the code transmitted
from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine man-
agement control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instru-
ment panel warning light
Y
turns on.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR;
if the lock continues, possibly try with the other keys pro-
vided with the car. If you still cannot start the engine, per-
form the emergency start procedure (see chapter “In an
emergency”) and then contact the Fiat Dealership.
SYMBOLSSpecial coloured labels have been attached near or actu-
ally on some of the components of your car. These labels
bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be tak-
en as regards that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found un-
der the bonnet, fig. 3.

Windscreen wiper slowing down according
to car speed
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, when decelerating until stopping the
car, will the windscreen wiper will slow down automati-
cally. Speed will be resumed automatically when the car
speed exceeds 10 km/h. The windscreen speed can be
changed manually at any time.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (spring-return
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to operate
the washer jet and the windscreen wiper; the latter auto-
matically turns on if you keep the stalk pulled for more than
half a second. The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”,
after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In these conditions, the windscreen wipers
may be submitted to excessive effort resulting in
motor protection cutting in and wiper operation in-
hibition for a few seconds. If the operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

HEADLIGHTSHEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the
comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the high-
way code. The headlights must be correctly aimed to get
the best visibility conditions for all drivers while travel-
ling with headlights on. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights properly adjusted. Check headlight beam
aiming every time the load or its distribution change.
SLANT COMPENSATION fig. 83
The car is fitted with electric adjustment of the beams, op-
erating with ignition key at MAR and dipped headlights on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
the headlight beam rises.
In this case, repeat beams aiming by buttons + and −.The display provides a visual indication of the positions
during adjustment.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 – one or two passengers on front seats.
Position 1 – four passengers.
Position 2 – four passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load in the boot.
