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.

be stored by the system ECU. Contact the Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored
with the code.

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
