SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of

the components of your Fiat Punto. These labels bear symbols that

remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular

component.

The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine

immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the

ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device

transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a

special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which

changes each time the engine is started, is the password by means of

which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat

CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine

control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

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 the STOP position, the Fiat CODE

system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.
