THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by
turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module 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
Powertrain Control Module. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light
switches on in the instrument panel. In
this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR; 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.If the
warning light switches on, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). Should the fault persist,
contact a Fiat Dealership.DOORS

(Dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, located on the
windscreen, detects the variations in
outside brightness depending on the
light sensitivity set with the Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the exterior lights.

way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.
Following automatic light activation, the
fog lights (for versions/markets, where
provided) and rear fog light may still
be switched on. When the lights are
automatically switched off, the front and
rear fog lights (if activated) are also
switched off. The next time the lights
are switched on automatically, the
fog lights must be reactivated manually
(if required).
With dusk sensor active, it is not
possible to keep the main beam
headlights on constantly; only flashing
