SYMBOLSSpecial coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat Punto. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.
The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 2.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEMThis is an electrical engine locking sys-
tem which increases protection against
an attempted theft of the car. It is auto-
matically activated when the ignition key
is extracted.Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted dur-
ing ignition by an antenna built into the
ignition device. This signal is the ‘pass-
word’ which changes at each ignition and
which the control unit uses to recognise
the key and enable ignition.

coming on
when driving
❒
If the warning light
Y
turns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
❒
If the warning light
Y
stays on, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.
The 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 control unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Y
turns on ac-
companied by the related message on the
display.
