SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
systemwhich 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-ON, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.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-ON; 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 the Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to
eight) stored with the code.
11

For some versions there is a key with
remote control and 2 buttons
and
fig. 7.
Button
locks all the doors.
Button
unlocks all the doors.
Dashboard LED
indications
When locking the doors, the LED A fig.
8 switches on for about 3 seconds
and then starts flashing (deterrence
function).
When the doors are locked, if one or
more doors are not closed correctly, the
LED and direction indicators start
flashing quickly.Request for additional
remote controls
The system can recognise up to 8 keys
with incorporated remote control.
Should a new remote control be
necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership
and be ready to present the CODE
card, a personal identity document and
the vehicle ownership documents.
Changing battery - key
with remote control
To replace the remote control battery,
proceed as follows fig. 9:
❒press button A and open the metal
insert B;
❒turn the screw C to
using a fine
bit screwdriver;❒take out the battery case D and
replace the battery E making sure
that polarities are correct;
❒refit the battery case D inside the key
and lock it turning the screw C to
.

IMPORTANT
1) Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of
them either in the correct
containers as specified by law or
by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.
ELECTRONIC ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote
control functions described previously,
is controlled by the receiver located
under the dashboard near the fuse box.
Operation
The alarm intervenes in the following
cases:
❒wrongful opening of a door or the
bonnet (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started
up (ignition key turned to MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery leads.
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 is a maximum number of
acoustic/visual cycles. When this is
reached the system returns to normal
operation.
IMPORTANT The engine stop function
is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is extracted from the
ignition switch.Activation
With the doors and bonnet closed and
the ignition key either turned to STOP
or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and
press and release the lock button.
Excluding some markets, the system
produces an acoustic warning (beep)
and enables door locking.
The switching on of the alarm is
preceded by an self-diagnosis stage: if
a fault is detected, the system
produces another acoustic signal.
In this case, turn the alarm off by
pressing the "release doors/release
load compartment" button, check that
the doors and bonnet are properly
closed and turn the alarm back on by
pressing the lock button.
If a door or the bonnet is not properly
shut, it will be excluded from the testing
by the alarm system.
If the alarm produces an acoustic signal
even when the doors and bonnet are
correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The alarm does not come
on when the central locking is activated
using the metal insert in the key.

particular, while turning the seat,
take care that it does not interfere
with the handbrake lever.
12) Ensure the seat is locked in the
driving position before starting up
the vehicle.
13) Do not place heavy loads on the
flap with the vehicle in motion
because they could be thrown
against the vehicle occupants in
the event of sudden braking or
impacts, causing severe injury.
14) Do not travel with passengers
seated in the 3rd row with the
2nd row bench folded over. Do not
place objects of any type on the
backrest of the 2nd row bench
folded over: in the event of impact
or sharp braking they could be
