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 (or symbol on the
display) 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. IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must
be stored by the system’s control unit. To have
new keys stored, up to a maximum number of eight
keys, contact a Fiat Dealership and be ready to
present all the keys you have in your possession, the
CODE card, a personal identity document and the
car ownership documents. The codes for keys not
presented during the storing procedure will be
deleted to ensure that any keys that are lost or
stolen cannot be used to start the engine.
warning light (or symbol on the display)
on whilst driving
❒ If the
warning light (or symbol in the display)
switches on, this means that the system is running
self-diagnosis (caused, for example, by a voltage
drop).
❒ If thewarning light (or symbol in the display)
stays on, contact a Fiat dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected
to strong shocks.
