CODE CARD
(optional, for versions/market
where provided) fig. 11
The car is delivered the keys and a CODE
card which bears the following informa-
tion:
❒ the electronic code A;
❒ the mechanical key code B to be giv-
en to the Fiat Dealership when or-
dering duplicate keys.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure com-
plete efficiency of the electronic devices
inside the keys, they should never be ex-
posed to direct sunlight.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-
tem 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
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine electronic con-
trol unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the warning light
Y
turns on on
the display.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still can-
not start the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the code.
Warning light
Y
coming on when driving
❒ If the warning light
Y
turns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (for example for a voltage drop).
If the fault persists, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.
All the keys and the CODE
card must be handed over to
the new owner when selling
the car.
