THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been

fitted with an engine immobilising system. 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

is the "password", different every time the car is

started, through which the control unit recognises

the key and enables starting.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition

key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit

sends an acknowledgement code to the engine

control unit 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

engine management control unit. 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-ON; 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.

Warning light

switching on while driving

If the

warning light switches on, this means that

the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example

for a voltage drop). Should the fault persist, contact a

Fiat Dealership.
