VEHICLE
MODIFICATIONS/
ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration
of the vehicle might seriously affect
its safety and road holding, thus
causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured.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 key is removed from the ignition
device.
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 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 engine
control module.
Irregular operation
If the code has not been recognised
correctly during starting, the
warning light on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by the
corresponding message on the display
(see the “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
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.

WARNING
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.

either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.
IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 3:
STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can operate;
MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that requires
the ignition key to be turned back

The LED comes on in the following
cases:
after each door lock command from
the D fig. 8 or
button on the
dashboard;
when the instrument panel is
activated;
upon opening of one of the front
doors;

MOVING FOOTBOARD
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On opening the passenger
compartment side door or the luggage
compartment, a footboard fig. 16
comes out from under the chassis to
aid climbing on board the vehicle.

REAR FOOTBOARD
(for goods carrier van versions)
12) 13) 14) 15) 16)
2)
The vehicle can be equipped with a rear
retractable footboard A fig. 17, which
aids climbing into and out of the rear
load compartment.The footboard can slide under the
vehicle when not used so as not to
increase the vehicle external
dimensions.
The footboard slides manually both
when opening and closing.
WARNING
6)Once the dead lock device is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the
system please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote control
battery is flat, the system can be
disengaged only by inserting the key metal
insert in either of the door locks as
described previously: in this case the
device remains active only for the rear
doors.
7)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that
the latch is engaged.8)Always use this device when carrying
children.
9)Do not move the vehicle with side doors
open.
10)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and let the doors close
spontaneously.
11)With the doors opened to 180 degrees,
no locking system is effective. Do not use
this opening with the vehicle parked on
a gradient or when it is windy.
12)It is forbidden to drive the vehicle with
the footboard open.
13)Do not use the retracted footboard for
getting up or down the load compartment.
14)Make sure that the footboard is suitably
locked by the provided retaining systems
before, after and during its use. An
incomplete opening or closing might cause
an improper movement of the footboard
with risks arising for the operator and
external users.
15)Before setting off after parking or
before moving the vehicle in any way,
ensure the footboard is fully stowed away.
Because the movement of the footboard
is controlled by that of the sliding side door,
incomplete stowing of the footboard or
non-closure of the rear doors is indicated
by the lighting of a warning light
on
the instrument panel.
16)The footboard lightly projects from the
vehicle even if retracted; therefore, when
rear parking sensors are provided, their
operating range is lightly reduced.
