SYMBOLSSpecial 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 SYSTEMThis 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.

WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat , the
system can be engaged by inser ting
the metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only remains
active for the rear doors.
Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors
by pressing button
twice 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 car through the
open door and, on shutting, it, remaining stuck
inside the passenger compartment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒by unlocking the doors;
❒by turning the ignition key to the ON position.
ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the previously described
remote control functions, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse
box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒unauthorised opening of a door, the bonnet, the
tailgate or a sliding side door (if present)
(perimeter protection)
❒unauthorized operation of the starting device (key
turned on using a key that is not enabled)
❒cutting of the battery leads
❒moving presence inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection)
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
Volumetric and antilifting protections are disabled by
pressing the control button installed on the front
dashboard (see paragraph "Antilift protections).
