REFUELLING
Only refuel with automotive diesel conforming
to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged, set the
gear lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch
pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the
warning lights
Yand mto go off; turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park on
grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the vehicle’s electrical system can
support the required load.
CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
Make sure you have the electronic code written
on the CODE card with you at all times
.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct vehicle servicing is essential for ensuring
it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
...important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance
of your vehicle over time. Pay special attention

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system which
increases protection against attempted theft of the
vehicle. It is automatically activated 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 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-ON, 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 on the instrument panel
together with a specific message on the display (see
“Warning lights and messages”).
SYMBOLS
Special coloured plates have been attached near or on
some of the components of your vehicle. These plates
bear symbols that draw your attention to the
precautions required when handling the component in
question.
The plate summarising the symbols used can be found
under the bonnet, fig. 2.

THE KEYS
CODE CARD Fig. 3
The vehicle is delivered with two copies of the ignition
key and with the CODE card which bears the following:
A the electronic code;
B The mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat
Dealership when ordering duplicate keys.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of
the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never
be exposed to direct sunlight. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR-
ON; if the lock persists, try again with the spare set of
keys. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
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.

❒If the warning light Yturns on, this means that the
system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop).
❒If the warning light Ystays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is submitted
to sharp knocks.

IMPORTANT The engine lock function is guaranteed by
the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when
the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with
the remote control towards the vehicle and press and
release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system produces an
acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is preceded by an self-
diagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by pressing the “release
doors/release load compartment” button, check that the
doors and bonnet are properly closed and turn the
alarm back on by pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly shut, it will be
excluded from the testing by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the
doors and bonnet are correctly closed, a fault has
occurred in the operation of the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control
functions described previously, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm intervenes in the following cases:
❒when one of the doors or bonnet is opened
illegitimately (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition key
rotated to MAR-ON);
❒when the battery cables are cut;
❒when the vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles.
When this is reached the system returns to normal
operation.
The antilift protection may be turned off by means of
the appropriate button (see “Antilift protection”
paragraph overleaf).
