THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started turning
the ignition key toMAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control Module
to deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement 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
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
on accompanied by the related
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, turn the key toSTOPand
then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided 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. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to 8)
stored with a code.
Activation of
warning
light while driving
❒If the warning light
switches on,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop).
❒If the warning light
stays on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside
the key may be damaged if the
key is subjected to strong shocks.
In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic
devices inside the key, it should
never be exposed to direct
sunlight.

seconds.WARNING
27) The daytime running lights are
an alternative to dipped
headlights for driving during the
daytime. They are compliant in
countries where is it obligatory to
have lights on during the day
and permitted in those where it is
not obligatory. Daytime running
lights cannot replace dipped
headlights when driving at night
or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is
governed by the highway code of
the country in which you are
driving. Comply with the
prescriptions.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle has
two longitudinal bars which, with the
addition of special accessories, can be
used to carry various objects (e.g.
skis, surfboards, etc.).
WARNING
44) Strictly adhere to the laws in
force concerning maximum
clearance.
45) Check that the attachment fixing
screws are tight after a few
kilometres.

8) Evenly distribute the load and
take into account, when driving,
the increased responsiveness
of the vehicle to side wind.
9) Never exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see chapter
“Technical specifications”).
HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR position and the dipped
beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is
laden, raising the beam. The beams
must therefore be realigned in this case.

SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes
place during the activation of the
climate control system or the fan. It
should not be considered as a fault. In
such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided
in the “Vehicle refuelling” paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge comes
on to indicate that approximately 8-10
litres of fuel are left in the tank.Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could
damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and warning light A will flash to indicate
a fault in the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and starts working
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C.
In normal usage, the needle should
hover around the middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light on the gauge may
light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on
certain versions) to indicate that the
coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
10)
IMPORTANT
10) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
