INDEX

SYMBOLSSpecial coloured labels have been attached near to or
on some of the components of your car. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the
precautions to be taken with regard to that
particular component.
Under the bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.
There is an electronic device in each key which can
identify the signal emitted, when the engine is
started, from an aerial built into the ignition switch.
The signal is the "password", different every time the
vehicle is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition
key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. The code
is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has acknowledged the code received 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, during starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light switches on in the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to
MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the other
keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

SAFE LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of the
interior door handles and the door locking/unlocking
button.
It thereby prevents the opening of the doors from
inside the passenger compartment, serving as an
obstacle to break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the device each
time you park your car.
Activating the device
The device is enabled on all the doors by quickly
double-pressing the
button on the key.
The direction indicators flash 3 times and the LED
above the
fig. 17 button flashes to indicate that
the device has been activated. If one or more of the
doors are not closed correctly, the device will not
activate, thus preventing a person from getting stuck
inside the passenger compartment by entering the
car through, and then closing, the open door.Deactivating the device
The device deactivates automatically:
❒unlocking the doors (pressing button
on the key
with remote control);
❒by turning the ignition key to the MAR position.
WARNING
Once the safe lock system is engaged, it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the car.Therefore, before getting out of
the car check that there is no-one left on board.
