THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine immobiliser system which in-
creases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the ignition key is ex-
tracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during starting by an antenna built into
the starting device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each starting and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog-
nition code to the engine management control unit to de-
activate the immobiliser.
The code is only sent if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted by 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, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised,
warning light
Ylights up in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with
the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Service Network if you still can-
not start the engine.
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 re-
quired when handling the component in question.
A plate summarising these symbols can be found under the
engine bonnet.

Replacing the battery of the key with remote
control fig. 6
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
❒press button A and bring the metal insert B to the open
position;
❒turn the screw C to:using a fine screwdriver;
❒take out the battery case D and replace the battery E,
respecting its polarity;
❒refit the battery case D inside the key and lock it by
turning the screw C to
Á.
Button
Qunlocks all the doors (including the tailgate, the
rear swing doors and the sliding side doors for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
Button Álocks all the doors;
Button Punlocks the boot, the rear swing doors and the
sliding side doors (depending on the version).
Unlocking the load compartment from inside the
vehicle (Cargo versions)
Pressing button A-fig. 5 unlocks the loading area (rear
swing doors/boot and sliding side doors) from inside the
vehicle. If the LED is on, the load compartment is locked.
Used batteries are harmful to the environ-
ment. You can dispose of them either in the
correct containers as specified by law or by
taking them to the Fiat Service Network, who will
deal with their disposal.
Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors by
pressing button
Átwice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know that
the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead
lock device will not be activated, thus preventing a person
getting into the vehicle through the open door and, on
shutting, it, remaining stuck inside the passenger com-
partment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door when:
❒unlocking the doors;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR.
Requesting additional remote controls
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote controls. Should
a new remote control be necessary, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network and be ready to present the CODE card, a
personal identity document and the vehicle ownership doc-
uments.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety 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).
The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break in attempts. We recommend en-
gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unat-
tended.

Once the dead lock system is engaged it 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.
WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can only be turned on by inserting
the metal key in the door lock: in this case, the de-
vice remains active for the rear doors only.

STARTING DEVICE
The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 7:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. radio, central door locking
system, etc.) can operate.

Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel should lock au-
tomatically as soon as it is turned. This is always
the case, even when the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
aftersales operation involving steering sys-
tem or steering column modifications (e.g. installing
an anti-theft device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the vehicle failing to comply with reg-
ulations.
WARNING
When getting out of the vehicle, always re-
move the key to prevent someone from
accidentally activating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the ve-
hicle is parked uphill or reverse gear if the vehi-
cle is parked downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the vehicle.
