THE FIAT CODE

SYSTEM

This is an electronic engine locking

system which increases protection

against attempted theft of the car. It

is automatically activated when the

ignition device is removed.

There is an electronic device in

each key which can identify the

signal emitted, when the engine is

started, from an aerial 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 car 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 engine

control module. If, during starting, the

code is not correctly recognised, the
icon

appears on the instrument

panel display. 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 car. Contact a Fiat

Dealership if you still cannot start the

engine.

WARNING Each key has its own code

which must be stored by the system’s

control unit. To store new keys, up to

a maximum of eight, contact a Fiat

Dealership and be ready to present all

the keys you have in your possession,

the CODE card, a personal identity

document and the car ownership

documents. The codes of any keys not

presented will be disabled. It will not be

possible to enable the disabled keys,

even of the owner finds them again.

Activation of symbol while driving

If the

symbol switches on, this

means that the system is running a

self-diagnosis (for example due to a

voltage drop). If the symbol remains on,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

THE KEYS

1) 2)

MECHANICAL KEY

The metal insert (A) fig. 3 of the key

operates the ignition device and the

door locks.

F0Y0117C

To request duplicates of the key, go

to a Fiat Dealership, taking an ID

document and the car ownership

documents with you.

KEY WITH REMOTE

CONTROL

(for versions/markets, where provided)
The metal insert (A) fig. 4 of the key

operates the ignition device and

the door locks. Press button (B) to

open/close the metal insert.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F0Y0019C

Press button

briefly:

unlock doors and boot, timed operation

of ceiling lights, two blinks of direction

indicators (for versions/markets, where

provided). The doors are unlocked

automatically if the fuel cut-off system

intervenes. Once the doors are locked,

if one or more doors or the boot are

not closed correctly, the LED located
over the button

and direction

indicators start flashing quickly.

Press button

briefly:

lock of doors and boot with ceiling

lights off and single flash of direction

indicators (for versions/markets,

where provided). If one or more

door are open, the doors will not be

locked. This is indicated by a rapid

flashing of the direction indicators (for

versions/markets, where provided).

If the boot is open, the doors will,

however, be locked.

Press button

remotely opens the boot. The direction

indicators will flash twice to indicate

that the boot has been opened.

Electric door rear-view mirror

movement

(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, press the button

on the key with remote control to also

open the rear-view mirrors (if they were

previously folded).
If the mirrors were closed using the

internal control, automatic opening with

the remote control will be deactivated.
Press the button

on the key with

remote control to also close the rear-

view mirrors (if they were previously

opened).

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,

taking a personal identity document

and the car ownership documents with

you.

CHANGING THE

BATTERY - KEY WITH

REMOTE CONTROL

To replace the battery, proceed as

follows:

press button (A) fig. 5 and open the

metal insert (B);

turn 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 holder (D) inside the

key and lock it turning the screw to (C)
to

F0Y0018

SAFE LOCK DEVICE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

It prevents the opening of the

doors from inside the passenger

compartment, serving as an obstacle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to break-in attempts (e.g. broken

window). We recommend that you

activate the device each time you park

your car.

Device engagement

: press button

on the key quickly twice. Engagement

is indicated by the direction indicators

flashing three times and the flashing of
the LED on the button

located on

the dashboard (see figure).

F0Y0652C

The device does not come on if one or

more doors is not properly shut.

Device disengagement

: press button

or turn the ignition key to MAR.

Button (B) fig. 4 should only be pressed

when the key is away from the body, in

particular from the eyes and from objects

that can be spoilt (e.g. clothes). Do not

leave the key unattended to avoid the

button being accidentally pressed while it

is being handled, e.g. by a child.

2)

Do not swallow the battery. Danger of

chemical burns. The keys contain a small

battery. If the battery is swallowed, it can

cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours

and cause death. Keep new and used

batteries out of the reach of children. If

the battery compartment does not close

securely, discontinue use of the product

and keep it out of reach of children. If you

believe that batteries may have been

swallowed or inserted inside the body,

seek medical attention immediately. The

emergency key (where provided) must be

immediately inserted into the electronic key

to prevent easy access to the battery.

3)

Once the safe lock system is engaged,

it is impossible to open the doors from

inside the car. Therefore, before getting

out of the car check that there is no-one

left on board.

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.

1)

Used batteries should be disposed

of, as specified by law, in the special

containers, otherwise take them to a

Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their

disposal.

IGNITION DEVICE

4) 5) 6) 7)

The key can be turned to three different

positions fig. 7:

STOP: engine off, key can be

removed, steering column locked.

Some electrical devices (e.g. central

door locking system, etc.) can operate;

MAR: driving position. All electrical

devices are enabled;

AVV: engine starting.

7

F0Y0654C

The ignition device is fitted with a

safety system that requires the ignition

device to be turned back to STOP if

the engine does not start, before the

starting operation can be repeated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17

STEERING COLUMN

LOCK

Engagement:

when the key is in

position STOP, remove the key and

turn the steering wheel until it is locked.

Disengagement:

move the steering

wheel slightly as you turn the ignition

key to MAR.

4)

If the ignition device has been tampered

with (e.g. attempted theft), have it checked

over by a Fiat Dealership before driving

again.

5)

Always remove the key when you

leave your car to prevent someone from

accidentally operating the controls.

Remember to engage the parking brake.
Engage 1st gear if the car is parked uphill

or reverse if the car is parked downhill.

Never leave children unattended in the car.

6)

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out

any after-market operation involving

steering system or steering column

modifications (e.g.: installation of

anti-theft device) that could badly affect

performance and safety, invalidate

the warranty and also result in non-

compliance of the car with type-approval

requirements.

7)

Never remove the key while the

car is moving. The steering wheel will

automatically lock as soon as it is turned.

This holds true for cars being towed as

well.
