GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, or PARK, the protection
system will automatically immobilise
the engine.
When the key is turned to MAR to
start the engine:
1) if the code is recognised the ¢
warning light on the instrument panel
will flash briefly; this means the pro-
tection system has recognised the key
code and deactivates the immobiliser,
turn the key to AVV, and the engine
will start;
2) if the ¢ warning light stays on,
the code has not been recognised. In
this case, turn the key to STOP po-
sition and then turn it back to MAR;
if the engine remains immobilised, try
with the other keys provided.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see
IN AN EMERGENCY ) and
take your car to the nearest Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
When the car is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1) if the ¢ warning light comes on
while the car is moving, this means
that the system is running a self-test
(e.g. due to a voltage drop);
2) if the warning light ¢ flashes
when the key is in MAR the car is not
protected by the Immobiliser. Contact
your Fiat Dealership and get them
to store the codes of all the keys in
the memory.
IMPORTANT The electronic
components inside the key may be
damaged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.
IMPORTANT Each key provided
with the car has its own code, differ-
ent from all the others, which must be
stored in the memory of the system
control unit.
All the keys (originals and
duplicates) and the
CODE card must be
handed over to the new owner
when selling the car.
