2010 Abarth Punto Evo change

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which
increases protection against attempted thefts of the car.
It is automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.
An electronic device is fitted in each ignition key grip.
The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the
engine is started through a special aerial built into the
ignition 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 vehicle is started by turning the ignition
key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends
a recognition code to the engine control unit to
deactivate the immobiliser.
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
management control unit.
If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition,
the
Ywarning light comes on in the instrument panel.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or
actually on some of the components of your car. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found
under the bonnet, fig. 2.

INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 11
This shows the speed of the vehicle.
REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually 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
activation of the climate control system or the fan.
It should not be considered as a fault. In these cases,
a slow change in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E tank empty
F tank full
The reserve warning light A comes on to indicate that
approximately 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.

(reset - start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
Trip B allows the display of the following parameters:

– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instantaneous consumption” cannot be
reset.
