- FIAT CODE (amber)

Turning the key to MAR the warning light shall

flash only once and then go off.

If with the ignition key at MAR, the warning light stays on,
a possible failure is indicated (see “Fiat Code system” in
chapter “Know your vehicle”).

IMPORTANT The turning on at the same time of the
warning lights U and

If with the engine running the warning light

Y flashes, this

means that the car is not protected by the engine immo-

your vehicle”).

Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys repro-
grammed.
