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 following keys are supplied with
the car:
– two keys Aif the car is fitted with
remote central door locking system
and electronic alarm.

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.

DUPLICATE KEYS
Go directly to your Fiat Dealer-
ship, taking all the keys in your pos-
session and the CODE card with you.
The codes of any keys that are not
available when the new storage pro-
cedure is carried out will be deleted
from the memory to prevent any lost
or stolen keys being used to start the
engine.
All the keys and the CODE card
must be handed over to the new own-

When the ignition switch is turned
to Sthe Fiat CODE system deacti-
vates the engine control unit functions.
After the engine is started by turning
the key to M, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends the code for the
function lock deactivation to the en-
gine control unit. The crypted and
varying code is sent only if the system
control unit has recognised the code
sent by the electronic device con-
tained in each ignition key, through the
signal emitted by a special aerial built
into the ignition switch.
If the code is not recognised, you are
recommended to turn the key to S
and then again to M; if the lock cannot
be deactivated, repeat the operation
with the other key provided with the
vehicle.If you are still not able to start the
engine contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANTEach key supplied
with the vehicle has its own code
which is different from all the others
and which must be stored in the mem-
ory of the system control unit. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealershipfor the new
key storage procedure, taking with
you the CODE card, a personal iden-
tity document and the vehicle owner-
ship documents.
The codes of any keys
that are not available
when the new storage
procedure is carried out will be
deleted from the memory when
all the keys are stored again, in
order to prevent any mislaid keys
being used to start the vehicle.
