FIATCODESYSTEM
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised useof the car, disabling
engine starting.
OPERATION
Each time the caris 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 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.
IRREGULAROPERATION
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, theicon
appears on the 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 an Abarth
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. Contact an Abarth
