SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or
on some of the components of your vehicle. These
labels bear symbols that draw your attention to
the precautions required when handling the
component in question.
The inner surface of the engine bonnet includes a
label with the different symbols used.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine immobiliser system which
increases protection against attempted theft of the
vehicle. It is automatically activated when the ignition
key is extracted.
Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition
key toMAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the engine control unit
to deactivate the inhibitor.
If, during ignition, the code is not correctly
recognized, a warning light
is lit on the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key toSTOPand then back to
MAR. Try with the other keys provided if the
problem persists. 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 ECU. Contact the Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored
with the code.
Warning light
coming on when driving
❒If the
warning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on, this means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis test (caused, for example, by a
voltage drop). When you stop for the first time,
turn the key to STOP and then to MAR: the
warning light
will not light up if no faults are
detected.

DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger compartment
if there has been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window
has been broken).
Dead lock therefore offers the best possible
protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.

is
impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the system
please therefore check that there is no one left
on board.
